Week 14

Well, I haven't been eating terribly well, but down another pound. And I finally beat my 5k time, I ran in 33:25 this week! YAY nike +! I get to try it out tomorrow for my first 5 mile run. Little nervous about that, it's my longest distance so far. I did 4mi this week, but I had a bit of walking. I was supposed to do an easy run of a 13:54 pace, but ended up averaging 11:18 to meet my goal. So, if I'm consistent with my pace tomorrow, it shouldn't be too much of an issue. Theoretically ;) I just hope it's not raining, because I'd love to run outside rather than the treadmill. And rather than trying to run at my parent's this weekend.

I've also requested New Rules for Weight Lifting for Women from the library to try to get a real routine going on. I have this semi thing and usually get either legs or upper body done in a week, but somehow, I never manage to do both. I've heard the routines from this book are pretty good, so we'll see if that works. I've also incorporated the hundred pushup program back in, which is something I've been meaning to do for a while. I also found out they have a two hundred situp program, which I'll start next week.

Goal 1: Lose 4lbs (weigh 151) at 154
Goal 2: Gym 4x/week, including 3 weight sessions (chest/tri, back/bi, legs/shoulders) didn't make it first week, I did chest/tri and back/bi last week, but not legs. Did legs this week. But I have been working out 4x/week
Goal 3:
Run sub 34 minute 5k DONE! 33:25
Goal 4: Run 6mi without stop
Goal 5: Finish week 4 of hundred pushups
Goal 6: Finish week 3 of two hundred pushups

Week 13

You might notice I didn't update last week. Yea, I was feeling kinda like a fail last week. I just hit a block, and it's hard to get around. I did do my 5k last weekend. Jared told me if I got under 34 minutes I can get a Nike+, I was so close, but didn't make it :( I've started on my 10k training, and am going to try for my Nike+ again this weekend. I'm supposed to do a 4 mile run this weekend, but I'm going to take my time after 3.1.

I feel like I've been doing pretty well on working out, but not eating so much. I'm trying out fitday.com instead of sparkpeople, starting, oh, about 30 minutes ago. I do like that it shows a chart on calories you've burned vs. what you've taken in, so I can see what my deficit is for the week and see how much I should be losing. Yay less math! And I can play and get a smiley of what my mood looks like lol.

March Goals
Goal 1: Lose 4lbs (weigh 153.2) Eh, close but not quite
Goal 2: Gym 4x/week This is one goal I was consistent on
Goal 3: Run 5k 3/28 in 35 minutes
Woohoo, met and passed by 10 seconds!

April Goals
Goal 1: Lose 4lbs (weigh 151) gotta stay hopefull
Goal 2: Gym 4x/week, including 3 weight sessions (chest/tri, back/bi, legs/shoulders)
Goal 3:

Goal 3: Run 6mi without stop
