Tuesdays with Nate: Goals (again).

Hey everyone,

So, here it goes. I'm going to post my goals for the next about two months so that hopefully I'll be forced to stick to them. First, I am wearing my suit from my wedding to Stacey and Joe's wedding and right now it's kinda tight, more like really tight. So, my goal is to lose two pounds a week until the wedding, that's about 18 pounds! Second, I keep trying to decide if I want to do a residency after school and I'm just not certain but I have decided I want to be well prepared just in case. So, I'm trying to get A's in all of my classes this quarter! I realize this is going to be difficult but I think it's worthwhile and if I reach both of my goals I think I will be pretty happy with myself. With that said, I'm going to go study (I'm not going to work out because it's Sunday and I'm a good Mormon!).

Love,
Nate

Updates

So, for those of you who haven't heard. I unfortunately didn't get a slot for field training this summer. It is rather crappy to say the least. After talking it over with Jentry, I am going to compete for a slot next year. If I get the slot, I will have to add another year to school, so, I've started looking at masters programs on campus to feel things out. I will probably shoot for an MBA. Now, because of this, I have a summer full of possibilities.
1. Nate, I still want to do a 100 mile bike ride with you, I just don't think it will be the MS 150. This upcoming Monday I'm going to start training for that.
2. I've discovered I actually rather enjoy running. Weird, I know. I use to absolutely detest running. Anyway, I am going to start training to do a 5k and a Half Marathon. The 3.1 miles of the 5k will be easy...13.1 will be rough, but it will be awesome.
3. I also am going to start training for triathlons. Which means I'm going to be swimming more. There are several triathlons in August and September and I want to do one for fun, see how it goes, and see if it is something I can compete in.
At any rate, my plan is to post my weekly schedule for workouts and what will be done each day. If any one wants to train to do a 5k with me later this summer, that would be tight. All of this will also push me towards my weight goal of 195 and not being content with where I am because I don't want to get back to where I was. I was happy with myself, but not as able. Now, I'm still happy with myself but much much more able to do things I want to do and things I never thought I would do. I love you all and just thought I would put something up to update.
