Couch to 5K Begins!

Sorry I haven't posted in awhile!  Things can get a little hectic in my house at times :)  I finished up my 3 kickboxing classes last week, it was a blast.  A lot of work but it was fun.  I loved thta it was an hour workout that didn't seem like an hour at all.  My mom came with to the last two classes and that made it even more enjoyable.

She kept saying to me that she was proud of me and that she was going to get her work-out buddy back again :)  Well Mom, I am back!

Tonight my mom and I are starting the "Couch to 5K" program.  She downloaded the app on her phone that tells us when to run, walk, cool-down, ect.  I am pretty excited to begin.  It is a  running/walking program that will have you running 3.2 miles regularly in 2 months.  Sounds good to me!  I know that I am young still (almost 27!) so I am hoping that my body is able to jump back into the running and it is just a matter of getting my endurance back.  The nice thing is that running isn't new to my body, yes it may have been awhile since I have done it but it isn't totally new.  I used to run 20+ miles a week before ;)  I got this!

I am really wanting to cut my hair, it is really getting annoying but I am holding true to what I have said before...I will not cut my hair until I get below 200.  I have 10 pounds to go and then I will be posting a picture of my new do.

I am so thankful that I have my mom to help work-out with me.  Tim still does but it is nice to have another woman to work out with too.  My mom and I used to run together all the time so it will be nice to do it again.  We would always have some great talks while we walked/ran.  She is truly one of my best friends and I thank God for her every day!  It is a great stress reliever and Lord knows I need a stress reliever in my life right now.

I found out a couple weeks ago that I am unable to work from home 2x/wk like I was before.  I was going to do this until September so Tim and I could save on daycare a little bit and it was a great way to be able to spend time with my baby since she is my last.  Well, as we all know, the military loves to change their minds and I was told to come back 5 days, which means 5 days of daycare x 3 kids= EXPENSIVE!  But worth it!  I LOVE the daycare they go to so Tim and I just need to become frugal and omit little things here and there until September when my oldest (still my baby!) heads to kindergarten.  Tear!  So that is a big stress in my life right now so it is very nice that working out with my mom is FREE!

I have officially become addicted to PINTREST (more than I already was!) and there are a lot of great ideas for workouts on there too that you can do in the comfort of your own home so I am looking at those too.

Still going strong on NO FAST FOOD!

Have a great day everyone!
