Beautiful Day!

Nothing beats a beautiful warm Sunday and a invigorating 9 mile run up at the lake! Now off to lunch and running our errands.

Slow And Steady Wins The Race!

Well I didn't win the race, but I ran another Half Marathon! After I injured myself from my first one 7 months ago, and being told by my doctor to slow it down a really think about decreasing my mileage I got very discouraged to say the least. But I have been keeping up with my Physical Therapy strengthening and stretches and my training and 7 months later I did it! Next up another Half in August and in December VEGAS,"HERE WE COME", the husband and I are going to do the Rock and Roll Marathon (Yep, 26.2 miles).

Fitness First!

Since I have been on this weight loss journey and have been told by many people how I have inspired them to make changes in their lives, I feel it is my duty to keep inspiring and motivating those around me. It will also help me stay on track and keep me motivated on a daily basis knowing people count on me to help them change their life. So tomorrow I start my class to become a Certified Personal Trainer. My goal after this course is to help those people who think its too late to get fit, think they have too much to lose and are too scared to try. I want to help them on their journey and let them know change happens one day at a time!

Happy Easter!

Wishing everyone a safe and happy Easter!

Cross Training

Since I have been having issues with my legs due to running, and sometimes its hard for the hubby and me to get up to the lake and ride our bikes on Saturdays I decided to invest in a bike trainer. I also what to bump up my all round workouts I think my body is adapting to my regular routine and I need to mix it up once again. Cycling is one of the most efficient ways runners can train while not putting added strain and pressure on knees and other leg joints. So I bought a new bike trainer on eBay for $82 bucks and have my beach cruiser on it, and I did 30 min this morning 4am. Hubby and I are looking into getting new bikes me a mountain bike and him a road bike. Eventually we both want to train for bike races and maybe even join a bike club.

Happy B-Day Andrew!

Want to wish the love of my life a happy B-day!!!We went to Knotts Berry Farm to celebrate, the weather was nice and warm aww love spring!

Im Ok.....I Think!

It is going on five days now that I have been drinking only one cup of coffee per day. Anybody who knows me knows how much I LOVE coffee, but I am cutting back and instead of having that second or third cup of coffee, I am adding in green tea. I always hear how good it is for you and that it raises your metabolism and is a natural fat burner so I decided to implement it to my daily diet. I am slowly trying to cut out all possible sugars (refined) its all about natural sugars that occur already in fruits veggies and in dairy. I have stopped using sugar substitutes in my iced tea and am slowly decreasing my consumption of packaged and processed food like baked chips, 100 cal popcorn bags (I bought an air popper) I want to be able to control what is in my food. I am going all Natural!
