The Best Workout!

Okay, ya'll get your minds out of the gutter with that title! I know what you were thinking.
The best work out I had all week was today. Just my husband and I went for a 6.5 mile walk on this beautiful , crisp, winter day. It took us 1 hr and 52 minutes. We walked from our house to our store talking along the whole way. It was so nice. We had 2 cars at the store yesterday and just left one there last night. So instead of bringing another car there today, we just walked it.
Here is to a wonderful week ahead! Have a fun winter break everyone!
Lots of Love

Crisp Morning!

Hello Everyone!
Lack of workouts Wed and Thursday. Yesterday I hit the driveway running and ran right back into the house. It was frigid. SO I ran inside my house up and down stairs for 25 minutes and did situps and pushups.
The interview went okay. They have interviewed 55 people for 1 position. My PT test will be the next step. I am waiting on a date and time for that!
I promised my interviewer I would pass the test. She said it is getting embarassing because they keep sending females for the test and they all fail!
Today it was only 21 degrees out, but I ran anyway, 1.8 miles, and walked 1.8 miles. I was out for 45 minutes. My legs were about frozen when I got home but I fed and watered the animals, got the eggs and brought more firewood inside.
Winter break ahead!
Have a wonderful weekend! Hey A, thanks for the CD's I love Womanizer!
S-Ho

Bad!

Hey All.
I have eaten horribly the last two days AND not worked out. Double whammie! I am having anxiety about the interview Fri. The last two days I have gotten up early to run there has been rain and wind. My only alternative right now is to get the burley down from the upstairs of the shed and push a stroller on the mornings when it doesn't clear up until 8 or 9. I am sorry, but the thought of that only stresses me out.
Good Night

What a nice day!

Hello all! What a nice day. It felt great to get up early and exercise again. I even snuck a 30 minute nap in this afternoon with my sweet girl. I finished my resume! Thanks for everyones input! Then to top it off, I hosted a private beading date for two young people in the budding stages of love. The young man had come in yesterday and requested we open special for him to bring in a girl he had met and wanted to impress. We had sparkling grape juice in wine glasses, chocolate covered potato chips and candles lit all over the place. Each made a cool necklace. They had a great time. Such a nice couple, and it was wonderful to be a part of something like that! He handed over a nice tip as well! Thank-you! I made more in two hours tonight than all day Friday!
So here it is:
46 minute walk/run 3.6 miles
*941 Egg bagel sand w/hot sauce. 1/2 c nf yogurt, 1 c berries
*1215 1 celery pb logs with raisins, handful raisins. 14 light wheat things. 1 Dark chocolate football pop.
*415 2 handfuls pretzels, 1/4 c macadamia nuts
*715 1 slice meatloaf, 1 c french green beans. A bunch of hm chocolate frosting with pretzels. (The kids made these tonight) 6 oz skim milk

Slacking...excuses...

Okay, so today I got up, it was 42 degrees out, nice, I got ready to go running. Then it started raining and blowing! I fed the animals and pretty much made up my mind that I was definitely not going to brave that for 3 miles+ . Later on, the family and I all went for a walk together, but everybody was pretty much complaning about the weather. It was not a joyous walk, but that's okay, we were together.
2 days without running!

Weekend Remission!

Hello Everyone!
I fell off the "no sugar wagon" after my daughters dance last night. I ran to the store from the dance pushing #3 in a stroller at 830 at night, closed up the shop and headed home! I had some nasty candies and popcorn. I did pretty good for the better part of the day though and did run/walk 43 minutes as well, adding time and distance onto my routine.
Today was much warmer at 7 am, but the wind was fierce. I would rather run at 16 degrees(yesterday) with no wind than at 32 degrees with a strong wind.
Today history was made at Eat It or Bead It though! It was our best day ever in sales! Thank-you Lord!
I did wake up late with my family this morning and did the beloved Dance burn /pilates 50 minute routine. \
Maybe I will aim to run every other day? And once it is nice enough out, I can bike each day I am not running. Maybe throw in a swim once a week, my dream.
Another change: I am only going to journal my food Mon-Thursday. That is 4 out of 7 days. I just don't want to think about it the other three days!
Alrighty!! Have a great rest of your weekend!
LoL
