Feeble Attempt at Blogging

So, I've been neglecting my blog again. I wrote a few posts on paper, but just haven't typed them up yet. But the good thing is that I'm still going to the gym and being fairly good about avoiding 'bad' foods. I've got a 10k to do in a few weeks, so that's my focus.  

Slowing Down

Couldn't get to 3 miles during my running session today. I did get to 3.5 miles on Tuesday. I'll try up to 4 miles this weekend. Woohoo!

Making Time to Write

I had a glorious two weeks off, but now I'm back to work. Getting to any writing or reading has been tricky these last few days. Today I'm finally feeling a bit relaxed after work. I'm getting things done early so I can have some 'me' time after my daughter goes to bed.

The Gym is Full!

I've been going to the gym consistently for about 2 months. I rushed to this morning's strength training class. I was annoyed with myself for getting there a bit late because the class had doubled since the last week. Lots of new members. I wonder how many will actually stick to it. I do miss the smaller class size, but it is awesome that people are trying to get fit.

Workout Update

I've worked out at the gym three times already this week. I ran/walked on the treadmill about 3 miles today. My pace is getting faster and I don't get exhausted as quickly. I actually got a burst of energy right after my workout, but later needed to take a nap. I need to go shopping for new workout gear, so that will get me motivated to keep going!

Anyone else getting their exercise on these days?

Free Rice

Check out Freerice.com. While you play a vocabulary game, you donate rice to the WFP. I'm slightly addicted to it, but it is for a good cause!

A Fresh Start

I love the first day of the year. I've been thinking about what I want to change and what I can do to accomplish my goals for a while now. I've already started to make changes, so January 1st is more like a symbolic day of beginning anew. I started a list of 101 tasks to complete in 1001 days, but have not completed it. One of my goals this year is to get more sleep, so I'm off to get some kitchen cleaning done before I can hit the hay.
