I ran a mile without slowing down or taking a break! It took me ten minutes! I know for a ll you marathon runners out there this may not seem like a big deal, but this is the first time in my life I have ever ran a mile without stopping! I am not a very good runner, and never have been, but I'm getting there! Yay for me!
I have finished week one of my P90X and I am really enjoying it! I haven't lost any weight, but yesterday I wore a skirt that is normally tight on me, but this time it wasn't so snug. That was a good feeling. I am still doing my running program (C25K) as well. I am excited to see where I will be after 30 days. Maybe I will post my before pictures along with the 30 day pics if there is a noticeable difference. The hardest part of this whole thing (besides eating healthy, which I am still working on) is going to be when I make my trip up to Boise. I am determined to make it work though!
I am hoping that doing this and my C25K won't kill me! I might have to drop the running if it gets to be to much, but I am going to try and keep up with both! In 90 days I hope to be a new woman!
So, my friend Cadence turned me on to this program called C25K, or couch to 5k. It is a nine week running program that is designed to help you get off the couch, or the computer chair as the case may be, and run a 5k race. It is a great program that anyone can do. I am just starting week 2. The first week consisted of a five minute warm-up walk, then run for 60 seconds and walk for 90. You keep that pattern up for 20 minutes and then a five minute cool down walk. I am really hoping to be able to run a 5k when it's all said and done. I'm also hoping that after 9 weeks of running I'll lose a pant size or two. We shall see!
Saturday morning, I got up way to early! A friend of mine was having a yard sale, so I threw the baby in the jogging stroller and headed over to her place to check it out. This was around 7:30 a.m.! It was a nice little stroll. Not too far, maybe a mile total. I ran a little and walked a little. 
I have a new workout! It's Zumba, a latin dance cardio kinda thing. It's tons of fun and a serious workout. I don't have any tapes, so I've just been following some routines from YouTube. The gal whose house we are renting and another gal in our ward who is moving soon are both Zumba instructors. So, since one is gone and the other is leaving the gym that they work at needs to hire someone new. It's something I'm looking into, but since I've never Zumba 'd before this last week I'm not exactly a front runner I'm sure. I'm having a great time though, and getting my butt kicked in the process!
This is Heidi Klum after 3 children!!! She is currently expecting #4! Going into this weight loss thing, I was trying to set realistic goals. I would tell myself, "don't expect to get a supermodels body! You're a 30 something mother of four, not 20-something with no kids and all the time in the world!" Well, this picture of Heidi is making me rethink a few things. Granted, if I had a personal trainer like she does, and probably a nanny, that might help. I might have to make this photo the new wallpaper on my computer for a little more incentive! I know the hubby will appreciate that!
I need to get back into shape! The baby will be a year old in a few weeks, and even though I am back to my pre-pregnancy weight, I am NOT back to my pre-prego body. This blog is, hopefully, going to help me be accountable. If nothing else, this picture should be a motivator!
