Fat Tuesday

Well, it's Tuesday again. This week, I started training for a 5k. I have never run in a real race before, I thought I'd start small and work my way up. After I complete a 5k, I'd like to train for a 10K and then a half marathon. I don't think I want to do a full marathon, although, who knows how I will feel after running a half. When I was running before, (pre Grayson pregnancy) fat was just melting off of my body. It was amazing. I do hope to lose weight (LOTS OF WEIGHT) but more importantly, I want to be in good physical shape.

Today, I ran about 2.7 miles in 30 minutes. My goal is to get up to 3 miles in 30 minutes. I believe that is a reasonable goal :). My food today, consisted of eggs with hot sauce for breakfast, coffee (can't seem to give it up), lunch meat, celery, zucchini, carrots, and honey dew melon for lunch, a chocolate no-bake cookie for snack (okay I gave in to temptation....but I just had ONE!!!), and chicken for dinner. Breakfast and lunch were GREAT, but I admit, I may have eaten a little too much for dinner and the cookie was a fail on my part....BUT....May we all be reminded that not long ago, I would have eaten 3 or 4 cookies, and done bad for breakfast and lunch too. SO....I AM doing better. I did REALLY good yesterday (almost perfect) and I can do even better tomorrow. And I don't feel like I totally failed today. ANYWAY..........

MY challenge this week is for everyone to go check out the couch to 5k running program at http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_3/181.shtml and give it a whirl!
