Day of rest

That is exactly what I’m going to do…rest.  Or try to!  I have had a horrible cough for over a week now.  My mom thinks I have bronchitis.  Yesterday I started getting a stuffy nose and felt run down.  This morning I have a full on stuffy, runny nose and some sneezing.  Blech!

On top of all of that I woke up to a VERY sore right bicep.  It hurts to move it a certain way.  I’m not sure what I did.  I can’t imagine that I could hurt it on the treadmill so I’m thinking maybe I worked it funny at Zumba?  Dunno!  But I’m going to take it easy today so I can be well rested for my 25 min jog on Friday!  (OMG!)

Good reminder for myself

FTR, I do not want the above body…just like the quote. 

C25K W6D2…again

Last night I made it to Zumba.  This was the first time that I put the boys in the child watch and it went ok.  Ryan lasted the whole time, much to my surprise.  He was crying in one of the worker’s arms when I returned but they said he did well the entire time.

It has been raining pretty much all day which meant no working out outside.    I did my first jog on the treadmill!  I’m not going to lie, I didn’t love it.  I think I like jogging outside much better.  I jogged at 3.5mph and the whole time I kept thinking that that’s how long it would take me to finish my first 5k, one hour?!?!  I sure hope I pick up some speed!  I didn’t have any music so maybe that would help?  Zack came in the room a few times and I definitely preferred the peace and quiet (I never get that) over distractions.  I had a focal point on the wall and stared at it the whole time.  When I jog outside I have changing scenery.  At first it seemed harder on my my knees but the second 10 min jog was easier.  It was much hotter and I was more sweaty.  It’s an easy alternative to jogging outside but I think I still prefer the outdoors.  We’ll see.

On another note…I bought myself a new pair of jeans today at Target and they are a size 16!!!  So far I love them and I love the smaller size!

(Do not know why I look pregnant!)

C25K W6D1…again

I started week 6 again this week. Today was pretty easy.  I felt like I wanted to jog more and walk less.  This was my last workout without the stroller for a bit.  It’s starting to get colder now so I’m going to have to bundle Ryan up a little more but I’m going to get out there.  I am a bit nervous though, we’re supposed to be getting some rain and if I can’t get out to do my training I’ll have to do it on the treadmill in the basement.  I’m a bit nervous for that.  Let’s hope for good weather!

Compliments

Today was Zack’s 5th birthday party.  Family and friends gathered at the Y for the celebration.  Two of my friends told me that I am looking good.  Then when we got home Jim’s cousins came over to visit.  We haven’t seen them in a month or two and both of them complimented me as well, one of which was a male!  That may have been the topper for my day!  It’s nice to hear that all the hard work is being noticed (not just by myself).

Change of plans

I didn’t get my jog in today like I had hoped to and won’t get to tomorrow either.  So instead I’ll restart week 6 on Monday.  I’m kind of disappointed but that’s ok.

We also just got word that hubby’s cousin’s birthday party is the same day as the Pumpkin Pacer.  Since he’s only home once a month and rarely sees his cousins I opted to change my plans.  I won’t be doing the Pumpkin Pacer on Oct 29th and will do the Jingle Bell Run/Walk on Nov 19th instead.  This will give me a little more time, more of a cushion and looks just as fun.
