The goal? 12 changes in 12 months. 

January – Run more; 30 miles in 30 days

• Check! To keep this up I vow to run at least 5 miles a week this year and will be keeping track of it in my mini notebook. 

With January wrapping it up it’s time to make my February goal:

Vitamins and Supplements

I’m horrible at taking vitamins.  At the very least I need to take calcium, Asian women have been known to be highly susceptible to osteoporosis.  So for the month of February I vow to take my Viactiv (it even has some vitamin D in it too).  I also am going to add coconut oil to my daily regimen.  I’ve heard good things about helping the immune system and metabolism. (But there are other articles out there cautioning the use as well.)  I don’t think it’s a miracle drug but I’m going to try it out for the month of February.

I put some coconut oil in my coffee, as was suggested on a website, and I should have known better.  I’m very sensitive to vitamins and especially on an empty stomach.  I was nauseous all day.  From now on I’ll be taking it after a good meal and will probably start off slow and with a smaller amount than is recommended.

What vitamins do you take?  Do you use Viactiv or coconut oil?

So here we are in the second week of January. I’m right on track for 30 miles in 30 days. Go me! I have even been battling a cold.  I caught it early so I’ve been bulking up on vitamin C, zicam, airborne and whatever holistic stuff I can find. I think I caught it in time because it is just lingering. No stuffy nose or nasty hacking. *knock on wood*

Other than that my food diary I’ve been writing in on and off. I’ve been treating myself with cookies and candy but moderately so if my scale is right the weight is slowly and painfully coming off.

If you’ve made goals how is it coming along?
