Training Program

My training has been going good for the 1/2 marathon. I'm a week behind because of my vacation, but that shouldn't matter. I ran 6 miles on Saturday and felt great. The sad thing is, I probably won't be able to run the race, due to some 'girly' surgery I'm going to have. It's a bitter sweet thing....I was REALLY looking forward to running it, but on the other hand, I've needed to get some issues taken care of for a while now, so I'm glad about that. I'm just going to keep on training though for as long as I can. I hope everyone is having a great summer!

No sugar for me!!!

Well one thing I decided that I could control was my sugar intake. I have decided to go through the week without sugar and allow myself Sunday afternoon to eat whatever I want! That way I don't feel so deprived and when I do eat I don't feel so guilty. I did this last week and survived! So far this week I haven't cheated. I do allow myself to have popsicles and red vines and that is my limit. I need to get my ticker on her so I can get it inching along! I hope everyone else is doing great. We all need to get together soon...I need a social life!!!

Uh...Is it possible to lose weight during the summer??

So I think I'm not doing so hot right now! I've kinda(really kinda) slacked on the working out and the eating is going down hill FAST! I'm pretty sure I've gained the 2pounds back, but I refuse to step on the scale until Saturday! AAAAWWWW! Help me! I need to hear all the fabulous things you guys are doing to keep up with the "good stuff". I know Tricia is hiking her brains out right now (good job) and I need to get to the gym! AND if I wait until Monday....it's not going to happen! I'm saying it now...I'll be at the gym tomorrow!!!!!!!(without the snacks) :)

Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred!

I have never had much success with "work-out" videos, but I thought I would pass this one on. It's AMAZING how much you get trashed in just 20 minutes!!! It's great for those days that you don't have time to make it to the gym, or you're just wanting something different! It has HIGH ratings and it's pretty awesome. For those who don't know who she is,(where have you been?!?!?) she's the most incredible trainer for The Biggest Loser show. So, if anyone's interested, go out and get it!

Hooray!! I figured out how to get onto the blog! (truly amazing for me)..... So I have rededicated myself again ( it happens every Monday- after I eat WAAAY too much over the weekend) to excercise and eat right this week and I am going to do it! I ran yesterday- not as far as Tricia :) but it felt good, and I am starting today off with Yoga. So now all I need to do is tape my mouth shut so that I won't shove it full of sugar and I will be doing great, Anyways I would love a weight loss tracker like you guys have on the page, but have no earthly idea how to make that happen so a little help would be greatly appreciated. Good luck to all!!!!!!!

Run Run Run!

I just ran 4.5 miles! It was over 80 degrees, with no wind! I didn't have shin splints, and other than a stupid dog following me part of the way, it was a perfect run! I'm starting to feel good about running again. Now, if I could just get my worm inching along, that would be great :)! I'm going to post my half marathon training program soon. I officially start it on May 30!

I Worked Out Today!!!

For most of you this is not that great of an accomplishment...but since I have been avoiding working out for a couple of months now and made myself do it today I was quite proud! My tredmill is not reading right and so it says that I went faster than I really did and that I burned more calories than I did, but at least I did it!!!

Snap Fitness.....Here I come!

Alright ladies, it's time for everyone to get on board. Today I went and got a membership at Snap Fitness so I can have access to weights and different cardio. I always struggle every other week because of Micah's work schedule, so now I don't have any excuses because there's a place my kids can play...YAY:)! Not everyone has to put a weight loss ticker, but if you'd like to, I chose to have the "small" version, so I could put it on the side of the page. One of the hardest things in weight loss is the diet. I get sick of always eating the same old stuff! If any of you come across some recipes that you really enjoy, please share! I'm bummed about my knees and don't know if I'm going to be able to continue to train for the half-mrathon, but I haven't given up yet! Wouldn't that be awesome to have us all be able to run a race together:)! Even if it's not a marathon!!!!! Anyways, that's enough rambling on my part, but I hope to have you all participating on the blog so we know what everyone's up too! Take care and have a great day!
