Feeling Selfish

Well haven't been on all week. Tuesday was a snow/ice day. It was very strange and not expected. It just drizzled a little freezing rain but enough to make the roads very slick. Cemetary road outside of town was shut down. I spent the day lounging and not doing a whole lot of anything. Wednesday back to work and did go for a run/walk in the evening for 35 minutes. I felt a little irked..mom asked if I wanted to go with her to her supper club. I really wanted to go but felt bad since Q had been home since Monday and the baby was sick...throwing up..much better now. I felt really selfish for it but I wanted to go with my mom. I got over it..Today I was also able to go for a 35 minute run/walk. That is 3 days this week that I did a run/ walk. I am planning to run in the St. Pat's Day run downtown this year and want to do the half-marathon in April.

Challenge Commitment

Well it is Day 5 of the new year and today was the first day back to work. The students were good a little chatty but who could blame them they haven't seen their friends in 2 weeks. Hopefully tomorrow will be a little quieter.
I feel really good...after work today I went to the grocery store and planned three suppers for this week and bought stuff to take my lunch. I got on to WW and got some recipes. I also set a goal that for the next 4 weeks I will stick with exercising for at least 5 out of 7 days of the week for 35 minutes. Last night I did 30 minutes of the Jillian Michaels workout on the Wii and tonight I ran/walked for 2.7 miles for 35 miles. It felt good! It was cold at first but I quickly worked up a sweat. Tomorrow night I plan to try the workout that came with my new Pilates ball I got for Christmas. I also plan to take my measurements this week and write them down sometimes the scale can discourage but you could be losing inches. Eating healthy at home can also save money!

Friday Night

I feel good about today...got up and went to work to take down the Christmas decorations before the kiddos come back on Monday...had a chance to run/walk this afternoon. I was able to alternate walking and running 2 min. at a time for 30 minutes.
We went to Rural King tonight...is this what happens when you have 2 kids you go to Rural King on Saturday night instead of going out...we did not spend a lot of unecessary money that was a good thing...Well plan to get up early tomorrow and run/walk :)

New Years

Well here it is the end of the first day of the new year and haven't really accomplished anything towards my resolutions. Well on second thought maybe I have....
I took the ornaments off the tree...we have a real one so Q can take it outside tomorrow. He would have done it today but he had a really bad hangover (his resolution no more drinking...it's not worth it)
We didn't go anywhere so I didn't spend any money...that's a plus
I cleaned the house yesterday because we had a few people over for New Year's...so I feel that the house is organized
I should have gone for a run but Q wasn't feeling up to watching the boys and too cold to take them outside...so I guess I should have done the Jillian Michaels workout on the Wii or even the DVD workout for my new pilates ball, but watched Wall E as a family and it was a cute movie...
Tomorrow going to work to take down the Christmas decorations before the kids come back on Monday and definitely going to get a walk/run in tomorrow...More tomorrow
