soccer & a run

My son had a game this morning & won his game! Woo-hoo!

After the game I did my job/walk (much easier to say run). I found it much easier to do the same run (C25K week 4) on the treadmill at the gym. I wonder why. After today's run I was TIRED! Took an hour nap.

Now I should clean & all the other non-fun things moms have to do. Not sure what's on the schedule for later. Plan to run again tomorrow. Not sure to stay on week 4 or go to week 5. Anyways, later.

workout & smoothie

{-Just be spLendid-}

I worked out at the gym tonight. I couldn't find anyone that wanted to go with me so I WENT BY MYSELF! I did 45 minutes on the treadmill...did my C25K week 4...but kept walking another 15 minutes. Felt SO good! However I'm not thrilled with my timing...45 minutes for just a measly 2.5 miles. I'm happy to just be exercising, but I admit I like the challenge of wanted to do more. I can't wait to do more...more time, faster mile, 5k...etc. Happy! :)

I have been wanted to make a smoothie at home so soon I'll post about that. :)

Tomorrow holds a soccer game (for my son, not me), then C25K again for me & maybe some followers. <3 & :)

tired & happy

TIRED! c25ked yesterday & today. Felt good. Tired. Not giving up. Excited.

yea! and ehh!

yea! I did my C25K training today. Week 4, day 1. A little hard, but not too bad! I enjoyed it actually. Looking forward to tomorrow's run.

ehh! I met the personal trainer again today & yes he tried to sell me training sessions. I just can't afford them, simply put. SO...AHHHH!!!! I am dreading going to the gym and everyone looking at me as I use the machines wrong. Either I'm going to go at 5AM with the hopes that no one (or hardly anyone) is there to laugh at me. OR I'm going to have to suck it up, stand around like a fool & watch people use the machines...so I can learn. Either way, I'm not giving up. I can whine & complain, but I'm going....uhh...tomorrow? Yeah, tomorrow I'll go, then do my C25K program after.

I did it!

I did it! I did it! Go, Carla. I did it!

Tonight I had an appointment with a personal trainer at the gym. It was fun & hard. We worked on lower body. And he talked to me about a lot of stuff I already knew. Anyway, I'm going back to meet him again tomorrow. I know he's going to try to sell me personal trainer classes, but I really can't afford it, as much as I would love them. It's hurting me just paying the membership. But it had to be done!

Eating today was, ehh! Just okay. Gotta get that together.

Tomorrow the plan is C25K, week 4, day 1. Then, like I said, another hour w/ the trainer at the gym. Chao, 'till morrow. much <3.

gym registration...check

I did it! Signed up at the gym & even have my first free personal trainer appointment set for tomorrow evening at 7...yeah, Baby!

I looked into signing up for my first 5k too! Even if I don't run the whole thing, I will feel great just doing it. I'll have to sign up later this week hopefully. Looks like I'll be doing the Holiday Run at Palmetto Bay on December 11th. I've got almost 7 weeks to train. I'm on week 4 of the C25K plan (the plan has 11 weeks) so I might just be ready to run the whole thing. I'm a little nervous thinking about it now...and excited too.

I also need to sit down & come up with a weekly eating plan...or something like that.

Till next time Project Me fans (if there are any out there). Just being optimistic all the way around. :)
Much <3

Doing Life

I am inspired by Ben Does Life. And totally embarrassed that Ben did in a couple of weeks what I have not pushed myself to do in over a year...SHAME, SHAME, SHAME on me. He ran two miles straight, and I haven't done ONE yet (straight) (in over a fricken year, mind you)...breathe.... I am inspired by his postings from his day 1 on a mission to get healthy. More to come on changes I'M going to make...to...DO LIFE...like Ben. Super excited.

fried foods and 15 pounds

I've been busy with school & other stuff so I haven't been able to move to my next elimination.
But here I am & here we go.

This week I'm eliminating another IBS trigger food.
First I eliminated red meats,
this time, it's FRIED FOODS.

Oh boy! This will be a bit hard.
Self-control.
Self-control.
Self-control.

Don't get me wrong I do not eat fried food all the time,
but sometimes I get in the mood for something like Churches Fried Chicken.
I can do it. I can do it. I can do it.

>I weighed myself today.
15 pounds, baby!
so what if it took 6 months
it's gone

till next time!
much <3>
