I am now almost 2 months in to my New Year’s Resolution. (See my first blog.) I resolved to eat less and move more. To end my relationship with Big Mac and make better food choices. To actually exercise and train for a marathon while living the marathon life of a Mom.
Though some days [...]
Good Morning, 918 Moms! Have you been running? It’s my busy campaign season at work but I’m still in the race. I’m taking it one day at a time.
Right now, I’m on the road for work and at a hotel almost every night. Today was a NO snooze morning! (What a feat!) I somehow heaved [...]
5:00am I must be crazy. There’s no way. Zzzzzz.
5:09am I shouldn’t have stayed up so late reading. I dedicate this snooze to P.C. and Kristin Cast who wrote the House of Night Series. (Oh, please, like you don’t indulge in vampire love stories. Well, if you don’t, you should.)
5:18am I’m snuggled next to my honey [...]
I confess, I haven’t been blogging like I planned to this week. But I HAVE been running. And, I’ve lost 5 pounds. I am trying to stick to the 5K/10K running schedule. I’m finding that if I don’t get up early, it’s not getting done. Travel for work is preventing me from exercising at night right now. [...]
I’ve been trying out a training schedule this week. Here’s the one I’m going to stick to: Jeff Galloway’s 5K/10K Training Schedule. My goal is to run a marathon. My baby steps are going to be a 5K first and then a 10K. I’m not going to rush this. If you are training with me, pick the [...]
As I’ve been reading, researching, and asking my runner friends about how to train myself to run in a marathon (or in my current state how to run a block), there’s one important thing they all say: acquire proper running shoes.
I seem to have been doing just fine so far in my everyday, regular ol’ [...]
My motto this week has been to Eat Less, Move More.
Results? More energy and 2 pounds gone. I’ll take it.
This week, I pulled out and dusted off my old Weight Watchers books and menus. Many years ago, my husband and I went on Weight Watchers together. He lost 30 pounds and I lost 25. [...]
Last night, I set my alarm for 5:15. That’s AM. 1 hour and 15 minutes earlier than I usually try to get up. And, I set my gear out so I don’t wake anyone. (Lord, please give me just this little time to myself and let the 3-year olds sleep. AMEN.)
5:14am
5:15am ZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzMmmphWhat? What’s that [...]
Ok. Here’s the hideous truth. I absolutely hate to get up and exercise. With all of my non-existent free-time at night (after the kids go to bed) and on the weekends, I’d rather sleep and watch TV. You know that young, perky, petite Mini-Mom* that runs by your house every [...]
