I have been super busy the past week and a half which is why it's been really hard for me to take time to blog. I pretty much worked full time last week which was necessary for my bank account but also enjoyable because I work with such fun people!
Anyways, I have also been stalling because I didn't want to jinx some of my goals, but here we go ;)
So far (*knock on wood*) I have gone to the gym three times/week. Actually, a little more. My family got a membership to the Y in town and it is right on my way home from work. It's perfect because I leave work at 3, go to the gym for a while, then go pick everyone else up from work, school, etc...
I have yet to step on a scale, I'm waiting until after New Year's so that I don't freak myself out. I've been eating well but also treating myself since I did just survive a stressful semester after all.
Running outside--- hoping to tackle that goal within the next few days! There was one day this week that would of been perfect but I chickened out. I just need to grow up and do it already. Ugh.
And finally, the one I have been putting off announcing: I ran for two miles straight! Actually, I have done it like 3 or 4 times now. I'm so dang happy about this! The first time at the Y I ran for a mile/walk for half mile/half mile then ran for a mile/walk for 5 mins/ran until I hit 30 minutes (when the treadmill turns off). After this, I decided to be determined to do the whole two miles and I did. It's the furthest I think I have ever run, as sad as that is. Officially, Week 5 of the Couch to 5K has been tackled and it's time to up the ante. I will start Week 6 later this week to work on the distance as well as adding in some shorter interval runs to work on my speed.
Hopefully all goes well and I'll keep you posted!
Time to go do some prep work for tomorrow's dinner. Enjoy the time with family, Merry Christmas!
