The past week...

Sorry everyone. Earlier in the week when I tried to post I was having some internet connection issues and it wouldn't let me.

So over the last week I have been tring my best to get out and walk or run as much as I can and I think it has paid off...I am down another 2 lbs and was able to shave 8 minutes off of my 5km run. I was so happy. I was able to run pretty much the whole way out to morrison line except for one very short walk. That was very encouraging for me.

Have a great day everyone!!!!

So I just got back from a run with Jeff...well he biked while I ran. It kinda felt like a Rocky training camp (or like I was following my Mii, for those who like the wii fit.) He pushed me to run more, and for the couple times I had to stop and walk, he made sure it wasn't for long.

I haven't been for a run in almost a week now and was a little worried I wouldn't be able to keep up but all was good. I would like to get out a couple more times this weekend so I am hoping for some good weather.

Also I have lost 8lbs so far but seeing as I have slacked a little this week I won't be suprised if I stay at that for another week.

Till next time...

P.S

Mashed cauliflower does NOT taste like mashed potatoes. I don't care what Tosca Reno says!!! And trying to whip them with beaters leads to BIG mess!!!!

Keep it up.....

Hey everyone...
So I have decided to suck it up and start running outside more. I have been able to run 5.2 km in 45 minutes which I don't think is too bad to start off with. My goal is to get that time down to 35 minutes by May. Then start working on distance.

I have also reciently started following the weight watchers point system. It REALLY makes you aware of your portion controls and what you eat throughout the day. I am quite amazed at the amount I was eating before and not really feeling full ( or toooo full) and what I eat now and feel full. ( or as they like to say...satisfied)

Today I also went for a walk on my lunch to enjoy the sunshine. I think I may start doing that a little more often because It really gave me a boost for my afternoon.

Tonight we needed garbage tags so what the heck, I got on my runners and ran up to Macs to get some tags. I think the man working thought I was nuts coming in huffing and puffing...:)

Until next time ...I hope this inspires some of you to get out and get moving!!!! ;P
