So I know I always struggle, so I decided to make a few changes, first of all let me say I'm not a great runner but I did enjoy jogging outside a few years ago, I use to go after work and enjoyed the rush after its done...that's how I lost some of my weight. I signed up for the Rock n Roll marathon in June, I'm excited and nervous, I started running again and on Tuesday I did ok, I'm not seeing how many miles I'm doing yet I'm trying to just build my stamina, I took our boxer with us and boy he was tired!!! I forgot how many calories I can burn running!!! I did wear my HRM to see and it said over 500 woohoo!! but it was 45min of jogging/walking.
On days I'm not jogging (I switch every other day) I make sure to do something, so on Wednesday I played Just Dance 3 with Genesis shes been asking and I keep being to busy (bad mommy) so I did it and yes wore my HRM and burned 400cal in 40min!! haha she had soooo much fun and so did I.....Angel was dancing away also =)
So since that was my "rest day" of jogging I ran yesterday (Thursday) and man!! I felt like my legs couldn't keep going I didn't last tooo long but did ok, I didn't push myself to much I don't want to hurt myself.....but I did good =) I woke up feeling sore and "thin" lol I know silly but I'm also trying to watch how much I eat I did notice I didn't eat much yesterday not purposely, I think I had to much going on taking my son to his orthopedic appointment then home to jog then shower get things ready, by the time I noticed it was late! I'm trying to not eat heavy or much after 7.....so water it was!!
I cant wait to see how much better I get at jogging I don't have a set time to finish the marathon the limit is 4hrs for 13miles so I want to finish with that once I get use to it next time I will set a personal goal.....I know I wont loose alot adding the jogging but I know I will feel better about me.....and so far I do , If you live close come and cheer for me June 3 =)) lol

struggle shame and excuses
I've been struggling to see where I have gone wrong, I know what I eat isn't always the best or cleanest.....I know I need and should be working out differently by adding resistance training, I know I need to dedicate more time to my health........then why cant I ??
My reason: my kids....husband.....guilt.
As much as Id like to say that my family is 100% supportive, they aren't, they're probably about 90%, the rest is my kids wanting (mainly my son) all my time...husband doesn't mind me working out, he's ok with it, but he also wants his time to wind down once he's home from work, its not fair for me to ask that once he's home to take over the kids and let me do my 1hr wkouts.....so if I wait until my son is asleep its late and I'm tired and don't have energy at all to do my dvd's, that is MY fault.....I have thought to myself that I can wake up early, (4am) do atleast 1 dvd which is 30min take a quick shower get ready and go to work, but once the alarm goes off I hit snooze or just change the time to get up at 5am instead, I do kick myself once I realize what I did but that doesn't stop me..I do need and miss my sleep but I also don't feel as energetic like before I feel blah, maybe its the time change? maybe or maybe its my body punishing me for being lazy.
My one year anniversary is coming up that I have been using myfitnesspal.com and I got to say I thought Id be at my goal by now =( and Id be posting progress pictures, I KNEW that once I hit 130 I would gain it just seems like my body wants to be 130-135 but for my height I should be 114-125 which is what my goal is (125) I know as I get older it will get harder but that cant and wont be an excuse, so I started doing my dvds again even if it was just one 30min (I couldnt keep up I was super tired) I am eating better atleast Im logging EVERYTHING I eat and I WILL NOT lie about the food, if Im ashamed to say what Im eating then I shouldnt eat it.....right?
In May I have a swimsuit photo shoot my cousin and I are doing, its for fun nothing big but I do have a cute one piece I want to look great in.......its hugging but I dont want my legs to look like they are being blown up lol .....so my goal is to just eat what I say and wkout how I know I should be, dont eat after 7pm, only water, one cup of coffee a day and do my best to avoid junk foods..........my reward other than then the photo shoot?
IM DYING MY HAIR DIRTY BLONDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(imagine Jennifer Aniston) woohoo! now Id love to have her shape haha.....well see little by little =)
