It was great seeing everyone this past week. Our run on Saturday was a great jump start to working out...again. I did road work last night, only about 2.5 miles. Today after work I plan on going to the gym and hitting up the elliptical and some weights. I trying to look hot, hot, hot for new years eve. Speaking of - I'm sure excited about Dallas - but - I can't seem to find very many peeps who will be out and about. Those that are staying in Dallas want to spend money out the rear and I figured since I'm toting around two college co-eds, spending like we are $40,000 millionaires isn't really an option...

Hope you are finding SOMETHING fun to do. I will call Megan later in the week. Good luck with everything. Running. dieting. life. Well back to work before I go to work ;). Love you.

Giddy Up!! (I couldn't think of anything other cowboy related title)

I'm trying to catch up... maybe I should make this post into thousands to keep up with Stef.

Here's my low dow.. lost 5 lbs since Thanksgiving! WOOHOO! I'm back on track with eating. I am not being super dooper strict with it b/c everytime I do all or nothing, I end up lasting a week. So I give myself wiggle room, cookies and fatty foods. But not as much and I feel full more often. I haven't been running, just walking, yoga, stretching (which helps alot) and little squat jumps/crunches/5lb weight stuff... yall get the point.

I got a 30 min yoga video (on sale!) to do before class. I find its a great way to start the day. And it gets me focused on what I need to do that day. Life is starting to make sense again, I am learning to find time to do what I like to do, and what makes me happy. I just got done baking 80+ sugar cookies last night for my neighbors. I really love helping out/serving/being neighborly and its what's keeping me happy.

I'm so ready for Christmas break! One more week! And always~ I love yall sooooo much

Back in the saddle again

I like the cowboy theme :) Anywho, thought you should know that I began a food journal (yes, again). And so far 2 days down and 50 billion left to go. But really, I think this is the longest I've ever made it. I've also realized that I eat a whole lot--probably enough for two people. So the goal for the next week is to keep up with the food journal and slowly cut back. The ultimate goal is to start counting calorie...but baby steps, right?

Oh, and I came across this quote that I found pretty empowering: One meal is just one meal and one day is just one day. I know that the two of you find self-discipline less of an issue, but I thought it would be nice to share.

As far as working out goes: the toe is all better and I ran two miles yesterday (it almost killed me) and then walked at a good pace at a crazy incline (now my butt is killing me) for 10 mins. Today is yoga again and then I want to get 30 mins of running in. I'm planning on starting the 10 week 1/2 marathon workout on Monday! Happy Training :)
