I don't suck

So, after I jog, I insert my Nike usb to the computer so it can upload my information. Today was jog #6, which is completely unimpressive. My goal is run 210mi in 2010 and it was supposed to begin on 1-1-10. I don't like jogging on a treadmill, it gets boring and I don't feel like I'm working out my entire body. Jogging on terrain is completely different and total body workout. Needless to say, the reason why jog #6 is completely unimpressive is because it is 2-23-10 and I've only run 9.07mi and I should have ran at least 40mi by now.

The one good thing about the fact that it is only jog #6 is that I've increased my distance by 1.02mi and I've been able to keep up with a below Aleiva-average pace! I am totally pumped about that!

I'm baaaaaaaaack!

Thanks to Erinn, I will now be keeping track of my "everything new" on here again!

Ok, now that my parents have moved out of the country and things are settled back down, I am prepared to start my new and improved lifestyle again. It kinda sucks that "life" can get in the way of life ... I didn't really understand that until I got married. Plus, life happens 9mo out of the year for me (teaching), so I need to get with it and stop complaining.

Either way, Christopher and I are back on track and we both bought some protein meal-replacement shakes. A lot of people can't stand them, but I really don't mind them. They help me cut my bad eating habits cold-turkey, which is what I need. In honor of Lent, this is what I plan on doing for the next 40 days to get kick myself back into gear:

protein shake for breakfast (30g protein, 180cal and 3g fat)
run in the mornings for 30-60min

protein shake for lunch
carb-free snack at school x2

sensible dinner

oh, and lots of water

Sounds boring, but boring is good! It's not too extreme but it will help me get this eating under control! I am now up to a size 12 and I am at my heaviest weight ever .... 170lb. So, that's why boring is good for a while.

Love to all!!
