Well, its the same old song and dance… I’ve done pretty good with my “no soda” push, but not perfect. A couple sprites, a couple Red Bulls, and even a couple of Dr. Peppers here and there over the last three weeks. I did not weigh again this week, but last time I weighed I was down 5 lbs. Thats not great for a 5 week period but it’s progress right?
Where I’m struggling the most is working out. It’s one of those “chicken/egg” things… i’m not getting much sleep for various reasons so I feel too tired to do much. But I also know if I exercise regularly than the energy will come. I have managed to do several sessions of Push-Up routines. Basically I do three sets of max-out pushups. I’ve seen progress, going from a maxing at 19 (combined in three sets… yes, very pedistrian) to maxing a 25 the last time.
As for what “begins… again” … Tonight I step back into the realm of Running… or uh, jogging… okay… walking with some jogs mixed in. I enjoy it, though I’ve never done it regularly enough to consider myself a runner. I’ve joined MapMyRun.com and RunnersWorld.com. I’ve mapped out 1mi, 2mi, and 3.1mi routes from my house all in prep for a 5k (which i haven’t picked out yet) in the fall. This time, for at least some of the runs, my 9 year old is coming along side of me. I’m starting with the 1mi today and hoping to run every Monday, Thursday, and Saturday and seeing where it goes from there.
Go J Go! I love running!
