Back to the grind...

Ive been on vacation for a week in FL. Tomorrows Monday and its time to get back to the grind. Back to getting up at 4:50am to go to the gym, back to work, back to eating healthy & im moving in 2 weeks so i need to start packing. Ugh, none of the above sounds the least bit fun. I am looking forward to starting week 3 day 1 tomorrow though! I will post about it and let everyone know how it goes :)

first run outside...

So normally i run inside on a treadmill and I've been thinking wow, this whole running thing isn't so bad. Today i decided to finish week 2 of the program outside. Ha, i almost died. Running outside is a whole different ballgame. Heat, hills, & not pacing myself. I did finish it but i was near having a heart attack. I think i will get in better shape, keep training on a treadmill, then start training outside.

Why i started a blog...

I have always enjoyed exercising & trying to get healthy and stay healthy, but until 2 weeks ago i was never interested in running. My sister has ran a 5k and asked me if i would do one with her. At first i thought no way i hate running, but then i found the couch 2 5k program. Its a 9 week program that eases you into running and by the end of the 9 weeks has you running 3 miles. Tomorrow i finish up week 2 of the program. Ive been on vacation this week so my eating has been terrible but i have kept up with the running. Next week i plan on posting about my exercise plan as well as my diet. I will also post pictures as i get thinner and thinner :-) I started this blog really for myself but if other people enjoy reading it than fabulous :)
