Randomness

Wow!  Look two posts in one month!  I'm on a roll.  :-)


So updates on the c25k program.  I'm on week 5.  I'm feeling stronger and my legs are not as sore as they once were.  That being said I feel like my progress is very very slow.  I started this program in November (more than 5 weeks ago) and I am only on week 5.  I suppose I'm thankful that this is a go at your own speed program and not having to increase until I'm ready.  My next increase is to run for 9 minutes all at once.  My most to date is 6.  I'll do another time of running six to see how my legs feel and then move to the 9.  I will get there.  I will run a 5k in May.


I know a lot of people that exercise in the mornings.  I see the benefit to that, but I'm just not one of them.  I actually like to exercise in the late evenings.  It calms my stress, I can go directly to the shower and then to bed.  I sleep better and I think I am more rested when I wake up in the mornings.  Plus I'm on a kick of getting to work by 7:30 and having to get up at 6:00/6:30 is early enough!  :-)


I'm looking for a good meal planner guide, or way to meal plan.  I've seriously fallen off the wagon with that aspect of weight watchers.  It needs to be rectified.  Also I don't really care for their food tracker so I'm looking for something else to use that can travel with me.  The thing that I love so much about WW is the meetings.  The one that I attend is always so fun and the leader is so enthusiastic about our journeys that it can really help to uplift your spirits if you've had a not-so-great week.


I said adios to my papisan chair today.  It is going to live with someone that will use it for more than a cloths catcher and I must say how much I love the space it has left in my bedroom.  I moved furniture around today in the bedroom & the living room and it just feels so much better.  I have a need to move things around at least once a year.  It's inherited from my Mom.  Plus it is a chance to do a good cleaning.  Something I really need to improve on!!

  1. I am REALLY impressed with the running! Not something I have ever enjoyed, even when I was healthier. Very impressive!! Nice job, lady. :)

  2. I'm thinking I need to get on your evening exercising band wagon, because my good intentioned morning work outs are not working out. I can't wait to see your newly arranged house. Rember that Sparkpeople website we used long ago, they have an app that I believe is for meal planning and tracking. Maybe you'd like that one.
