2.5 mile walk with the fam (while Arielle rode her new bike that Santa brought her) It was COLD since we're recently back from Salt Lake we thought we could just go around the neighborhood in sweatshirts- wrong! It was like 30 degrees!

Yesterday and today I did a dry run for my Healthy Eating Challenge.  I am shooting for 10 pts a day (out of 12 possible) starting for real on Monday.  The dry run gave me a good idea of my struggle areas like white flour, junk food & calorie counting.  I ended up with 6 pts Sat. and 7 on Sunday.  10 may be ambitious but I'm going to give it a try.  Taking a water bottle and healthy snacks with me to work on Monday so I can stick to the plan!

2 mile walk around neighborhood handing out RS flyers for Enrich.  Not exactly hard cardio, but gotta count all exercise these days! Sat & Sun I did a dry run for Healthy Eating Challenge and today started the real challenge.  I got 8 pts today, up from the 6 & 7 I got on Sat. & Sun.  10 is my goal (12 possible).  I'm doing good at taking multi vitamin, drinking water, not skipping meals, calorie counting, not eating 3 hrs. before bed and getting A LITTLE exercise. My challenge areas are avoiding sugar & white flour.  I've been getting in more whole wheat but still getting in some white flour too.

Weight lift class at gym today.  I'm going for 10 pts today! Thanks to an hour long workout this morning that starts me off with 4 pts.  I can do it! I'll report back later.

Oh yeah, and I was confronted by 2 friends at the gym today asking if I'm doing Painter's 1/2.  Its less than 2 weeks away, so its way past commitment time.  I told them YES, I will do it.  It won't be fast or pretty, but I'll be a great long training run and I'll be glad I did it.  Plus I obviously need to kick start my New Year in the running department.

Could it be? A legit run? YES! 5.5 miles at a challenging 9:15 min mile.  Yes, this used to be a very do-able pace for me, but now its challenging! It felt great getting my day off to such a great start with Sole Sisters.  Thanks Shelly for kicking my butt into gear!

 

Oh yeah- and I officially signed up for Painter's half yesterday!

8 miles with Sole Sisters, added on 2 more miles alone.  Nice long run.  Green Valley loop was especially peaceful & quiet this morning.  Had good energy this morning, glad I added on 2 more alone.  Needed a 10 miler to be mentally prepared for Painter's next week.
