Feeling better!

So things are progressing slowly, but I am getting there.  Can get to be a little frustrated sometimes.  I was not able to workout Sat thru Mon. because of a hectic schedule and attending a hair show.  But have been back at it yesterday and today.  However my montly little friend has shown up and that makes it hard.  But I was on the treadmill for about 22 min yesterday and then on the elliptical for about another 15 min.  Then some minor weights.  Then today I road the bike for 15 min then did quite a bit of strengh training.  I was pooped and felt like jello!  A great feeling though!!  I have tons more energy, well except for today.  It was a rough go around but I also had a needy little boy who is teething so it was a little rough for both of us.  But tomorrow I think I might try a class.  Not sure which one, will play it by ear as to what time we get there.  But gonna make this a short one...totally exhausted tonight!  See ya later!

Another day....

Well...went to the gym again today.  Was pretty good.  Didn't push as hard today, need to take a break every so often.  But I did manage to walk/run 2.24 miles in 30 min.  I went from running at 5.6 mph to walking at an incline of 5 at 3.7 mph.  My legs sure felt that one!!!  Yikes!  But it's a good hurt.  Then I took Cole and Ajax out for a nice walk this evening around the neighborhood.  Nothing too strenuous, about 1 mile in 20 min.  But nice to get that walk in.
I still have self control issues when it comes to eating.  Ugh...so I think starting tomorrow I will try and blog what I ate.  That might help me with control.  I did weigh myself this morning and it was 138 lbs.  Ick!  So I would love to lose 15 lbs.  So let's see what I can do here.  I would like to fit into my jeans that are in the closet.  But I feel like the more I want to lose the lbs.  the more I struggle.  In the past when I have just picked up running and didn't "try" to lose any weight I did, and now that I am trying to I struggle. 
The good thing is that I have WAY more engery.  I do not sit down in the evenings until about 9 at night.  So that is GREAT!  I love that.  So hopefully I can get this mid section to windle down!  Ok...off to bed.  Now that I sat down I got sleepy.  Good night!

Jeez!

Jeez...again it's been awhile.  This week has been so busy and as was this last weekend.  Soooo...good news is last Wednesday I ran another 5k and I ran it in 39 min and 39 sec. better than the day before!  YAY!  I did take time off when I was out of town with family from Thurs. to Mon.  I didn't feel good about it but was not able to get out and run or walk.  Returned to the gym on Tues. and I ran for 30 min.  Can't remember how much I ran (this is why I should post every day huh?!) Anywho....then today ran another 5k and my best yet 37 min and 39 sec.  WHOOHOO!!!  It feels so good, however this darn mid section is still icky.  But I have much more energy and get more done around the house and a happier wife/mom. 
I have to admit..the eating habits are not quite the greatest yet.  I am still working on that one.  I did get to the store today and picked up stuff to make my turkey, spinach, almond and cheese wraps.  YUM!  And also some other stuff to help me get back on that track.  But that is the hardest because I don't have a lot of time.  So will have to get my butt in gear and just make a bunch of chicken so I can use it through out the week.  Although I might just turn into a chicken since I could eat it every day...haha. 
Well off to bed here soon and back at it tomorrow.  I think I'm going to bust out the scale and do a weigh in tomorrow...although I don't really like that because in the end muscle weighs more than fat, but I do want to shed some lbs.  So will update that part tomorrow and do that weekly for you.  Good night!

MIA- Sorry

Sorry I have been MIA for a little bit.  I was out with that darn cold that was or is going around.  So things were put on hold for a little bit.  I have been to the YMCA a few times now but only walking, darn cough.  But today I ran a 5K in 40 min.  Some was also walking.  So that is a start.  My goal is to do that at least 2 times a week and to improve each and every time.  I don't think the exercise thing is going to be my problem.  I have a feeling it will be the eating healthy part is going to be the toughest.  Because I don't have a ton of time to make food for myself.  But we will sure try here.  So after the workout today I felt GREAT!  Then did some arm work.  Tomorrow will be abs and maybe I will tryout a class.  Gotta keep it interesting right?!   Will keep you posted!
And to add this message:  Happy 3 year Wedding Anniversary to my hubby!  Love you babe
