Slumpty Dumpty

This week I have felt a sense of being burnt out on working out. I don't know if it was getting back into the swing of things after spring break or if I am just over it for now. I am trying to stick with it no worries there. Running was good this week...except yesterday. Tuesday we did 4.3 miles and YES those ,3 do make a difference :). Today we did 4 but yesterday I only ran 2.1 (which was the scheduled amount but I needed to do more) Then I walked another mile. Today's run felt so good! I wasn't feeling it at first....my body ached, I was tired, I feel sinus stuff going on and we were going to be back inside looking at the same four hallways for 48 laps. Rough. We had been so blessed with such amazing weather this week and spoiled to get to run outside and so to come back inside was hard but it went well. I love the feeling after a run....I hurt during the run, I can't breathe...all those negative thoughts go away and you feel so good. Its the best feeling for me :) I have also discovered I cannot motivate myself very much. It takes special people. So that's my update today! I am in a slump with working out and hoping to get out of it!!!

one big step....or run!

Well yesterday was my FIRST 5K race...ever! It was excellent! I couldn't have asked God for a better day! The weather was great running weather and I could breathe. My legs felt great! I had someone to run with! I had a good time! It was just fabulous! I did it is 34:25. Fabulous for me! It had many reasons to give praise to God! The race help me be more excited for the mini and more nervous all the same time! Lots of emotions! Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers and words of encouragment!

Next big thing.....the Mini...in like 50 days :/

uh do what?!

I have come to learn that the amount of pounds you lose is NOT everything! Honestly how I feel! BUT since I can't check my inches weekly I just thought I would say I have lost  total of 10.8 pounds since January 5 ish. I am pretty exctied and all praise to God. It is crazy! I am about 16 lbs from my 1st goal weight :) Again I am not obsessed with the scale. I look at how I feel, how my clothes feels, and just a general sense of accomplishments! I love it! I love feeling so good about myself and life and most importantly how I feel about God and His love and strength for me! It's great!

Have a good and safe weekend! I can't wait to see one of my good good friend Saturday!
Loves!
