Not the BestQ

I've been under the weather and have not had a chance to trainf. I did speed walk for 30 minutes during lunch on yesterday. It's raining like cats and dogs here in VA today...hopefully, I will be able to go running this evening.

Let's Do This

The weather here in Va is still cold but I did manage to go for a 20 minute run after work. Overall I think I did well. I will map out the distance in the car tomorrow...I can not find my pedometer. Hopefully, I will be able to go out again tomorrow. I'm scheduled to run my first 5k on Feb 2nd. I know that I'm not ready but I'm going to go out and do as much as I can. I will cross the finish line! My eating was okay today...I back to lowering my carbs...I really want and need to drop a few pounds. I know that it will happen once I get consistent with my training. I can't wait until the weather breaks.

NOT A GOOD WEEK!

I've had the worst week as it relates to exercise. I have been putting in 10 and 12 hours days and by the time I get home I'm so tired. And when I get up in the morning I had no energy. I have been on point with my eating so that's one positive. I really need to get on the ball because I have that 5k in a little over two weeks. I know that I will be able to run the entire thing...but I will do as much as I can...my main goal is crossing the finish line. Well, I'm tired so I need to hit the sack. I'm sure next week will be much better.

HAPPY MONDAY!

Today, I began Week 2 - Day 1 of Body For Life. I had a great lower body work out this morning and I went for a 1 mile run at the Track. I wanted to do more but when I got to the track it was almost dark and I did not feel safe being out there alone. I will shoot for more tomorrow. My eating was okay today...however, I can and need to make big improvements with my water. This really seems to be my downfall at the time. I wish push for more tomorrow.

Feeling Great!

I just came back from the the track. And I'm feeling great! The weather is kind of cold but I pushed myself to go out and run any. I'm proud of myself. I'm still new at this running thing and I working on increasing my distance and time. I'm happy to report that I ran 1 mile straight in 12 minutes. I also ran/walk for an additional 2 miles. I think I'm making strides in the right direction. I managed workout out everyday this week and I will be start Week 2 of Body For Life on Monday.

Happy Thursday

I had a fun cardio workout this morning. I'm making great strides with my workouts...now if I can only do that with my running. It's raining here so I did not get a chance to go for a run. I think I will go downstairs and get on the elliptical. I'm over half way finish with Week 1. And I feel great!

Hump Day - Week 1 Almost Over

I just completed another great workout. It's day 3 of Body for Life for me. I did 4 sets but my legs really seem to tired out on the last set...I know that's the goal but I got to get use to doing my weight training again. I've been slacking alot over the last few weeks. Oh well...the good thing is I'm back on track so I need not dwell on the past. The weather has been great here in VA. I may go for a run a the track tonight I get off before dark.
