Recent Update

I know, I know. I am really horrible at this blog thing. But I will work on trying harder so that my 6 readers will have something to read once in a while.

So anyway, here is my recent update. I'm down about 3 lbs since 1/14 (Ugh I should be more than that). But the good news is I have been exercising regularly. This past week I've exercised every day but today (that's 6 days in a row, folks). Here is how my week went:

• Monday: Salsa class @ gym (30 mins) and a 30 min Yoga video @ home
  
• Tuesday: Couch to 5K running program
  
• Wednesday: Salsa class @ gym (30 mins)
  
• Thursday: Couch to 5K running program
  
• Friday: Yoga video @ home (30 mins)
  
• Saturday: Couch to 5K running program, Hip Hop Dance class @ gym (40 mins- supposed to be 60 but I was late)

OK, so that was how I worked out this week. Also, I started back up with the Couch to 5K running program. In case you don't know what that is, its a program designed to get beginners to run a 5K in about 9 weeks time. Each week you do walk/run intervals and each week it gets to be more running and less walking. The weeks consist of only 3 days of training. You can progress at your own pace so if you need more time on a week, just repeat. I finished week 1 yesterday and about to do week 2. I will probably try blogging about those days as they come. So far, the week went well. I didn't notice any leg burning during the running part, which is good because last time I did this I was feeling that. I did have some soreness the days after, but I love that feeling- makes me feel as if I'm accomplishing something.

As far as eating, I am still working hard at being good. I tend to mess things up on the weekends, so I am trying especially hard this weekend. I messed up last Monday thinking I wouldn't have too much trouble fixing it, and I ended up playing catch up all week from the gain I caused on Monday. Sigh. At any rate, I guess it doesn't help that my birthday is this week, and I would love to just eat whatever I want, but I know if I do that, I will pay the repercussions.

Last but not least, the kids are doing fine. Nothing new to report except that Grace fell off some monkey bar type thing at school on Friday right before school got out and she hit her mouth on a bar. She ended up bruising her gums over 3 of her teeth, busting her lip a little and knocking her top tooth, that was already getting loose, a little looser. She almost knocked that tooth out completely, but its now just going to fall out a little quicker. Shes doing good. She had a hard time eating dinner Friday night, but other than that, shes been good.

Well thats all for now. Stay tuned..........
