Ah Dang!

So Monday I did my first run for my C25K program.  Then I did the Start It Up! video from slim in 6.  I think that was a bit of an overkill.  I was hurting that night and all the next day.  I did take Tuesday off, shame on me.  But I feel 100% today so maybe it was a good option.  I did not run today :(.  I am trying to decide if Monday was a product of to much over training or something else.  I am going with the over doing it theory at the moment.  I am super excited to run so I emailed my beachbody coach for some advice on how to work that into my routine.  Hopefully she will have some ideas.  Worst case senario I will start it again after my 6 weeks is up.  By then I should be in even better shape and be good to go.  So either way still doing good.  My eating has gotten a little out of control although I still think I am in the 1500-1800 range.  But 1300 was just to few and I was cranky and no energy.  I can do this without cutting so many calories.  Its about better choices.  Ok well enough ramble time to go work out.

ouch

So my abs are hurting a bit today and my thighs are feeling a bit sore.  Glad today is my day off.  I am making spaghetti tonight for dinner.  No garlic bread though :(.  That would have been yummy.  Tomorrow is the start of week three for my Slim in 6 and I am so excited.  I am down 2 inches in my waist and 1 inch in my hips.  If I don't flex I am actually down 1 inch on both arms.  I am moving down.  Body Fat is out of control but I think I will wait another two weeks to see how that goes.  I think it has gone down to.  Just not sure how much.  I think it might be 1% in a week.  I think that would be a good amount of movement.  June 5th is the last day of Slim in 6.  There are 36 workouts and I have done 12.  So only 24 more to go.  I can so do this.

Running Shoes

Here are the new running shoes.  They are cute and functional.  The best of both worlds.  Will need to get stuff to clean them, because I am sure they will get dirty fast.  But I am super excited to use them tomorrow.

Moving down

So I have lost about 2 inches around my waist and 1 inch around my hips. My weight didn't go down this week but it didn't go up so I am happy about that. I can now do 2 sets of 20 push ups in the girl (knees down) position and I am super stoked about that. I was only doing 5 when I started two weeks ago. I am up to doing an hour of the cardio/strength training. And I am seeing improvement all around. I am glad I have been pushing through it. Making it two weeks is a huge step for me. I am more determined now than I have ever been. Its a great feeling. And adding running will only keep me going when my six weeks are up. June 12th I get my new tattoo as my reward for finishing the next 6 weeks out. I can't wait. Its going to be amazing.

Running

Monday will be the big day. I purchased my running shoes from Road Runner in Seattle. They were awesome and custom fit my inserts. So it feels a little funny but should make running not so painful. I am going to start out slow and build up. I need to set up my play list and off I will run :). Its going to be great and something that should be easy to stick with. You don't need a gym you can do it anywhere and most anytime. Although in the dark I would want reflective gear and probably a dog LOL. So I am also going to track my running on here.

working out

I am loving this work out. did another hour last night and feel great. I am sleeping great and have tons of energy. I still need to work on a more balanced menu but other than that doing good. going to start running next week.

Started slim in 6

I started slim in 6 last week April 26th. I have to say I feel great. I am only on the first video but if it is any indication I am going to love the other three. I love the stretching too. I did all 6 days go me and lost 2 pounds. I am going to try to post my weightloss widgett for your enjoyment :).
I am keeping a food log and have done very well at staying at or under my 1341 calories a day. Even with a couple trips out to eat. Portion sizes are getting smaller yeah. And I started the week doing 5 girl push ups and ended doing 10 girl push ups.

My next venture besides slim in 6...RUNNING.

I am going to do this.
