It's Been a While!

It's been a while since I made an entry and since I've actually hit the pavement. I went out to the track and walk/jog from 6 p.m. until 7:45 p.m. I know my body is going to hate me tomorrow but I had to start some where! No more excuses...I've got to get back on track with my training. I feel a sense of accomplishment today! Happy Running Everyone!

It's Been A While!

Wow...how time flys...it's been a while since I've posted. Right after my first race I end up with the flu and my migraines came back with a vengance! I have not ran in a while...I have been walking during lunch. :) That has to count for something!

It's time to get back on the grind and set new goals. My goal is to hit the track at Churchland tomorrow. NO EXCUSES!

Making Great Strides In the Right Direction!

I end up going out on the track and running about 1.5 miles while I waited for my daughter to finish basketball practice last night. I did not do any formal exercise today...I just took the stairs instead of the elevator and parked further away from the office. So far so good with my eating...I've decided to only weigh myself once a week so that I don't become a slave to the scale. I think Friday will be my day to weigh in day. This will let me see my accomplishment over the week and kind of keep me on track over the weekend. So far my eating has been good over the last few days...I'm really thinking about what I put in mouth.

HAPPY MONDAY EVERYONE!

I've been up since 3 a.m. I don't know why I'm so restless tonight....anyway I decided to get onthe scale and I'm so disappointed in what it displayed. It's time for me to step my game up and get these 10lbs off. I know I have been very relaxed with eating carbs lately so that will come to a halt today. I will walk for 30 minutes during lunch and try and go for a run tonight. I will also increase my water in take. And I will cut out my snacks.


Here is my purpose Menu

Breakfast
Bacon and Eggs

Lunch
Ham and Cheese

Dinner
Pot Roast

I DID IT!!

I completed my first 5k with a time of 41:33.20 It's not the best but I crossed the finish line and I'm so Excited! I will continue to work on my running and getting my time down. The weather was about 40 degrees but over all it was a great run.

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.
