He is also very active, mostly weight training and he has run 2 half marathons as well. He is very fast without training too hard. 1:28 Half Marathon!!! I am working on being able to keep up with him. Someday when are kids are older we look forward to training together.

Ran on the treadmill tonight. It was kind of nice because my husband and I got to workout together. He usually works out during luch but didn't today so we got to spend time in our gym together.

I did a Jillian Micheals circuit workout after. It kicked my butt I couldn't even finish it. My abs feel really tight though. YEAH!!!!

I need to work on toning my "problem areas" so I am going to focus on that and running for awhile.

I am also focusing on eating as little processed food as possible.  

So I am going to do something I have seen a few men do but not women. I am going to track my weight on this blog. SCARY!! Women do not like to tell there weight. I am hoping it will help me be a little more accountable for the things I eat each day.

I have actually dropped a few lbs. since the marathon. Strange since I have been eating terrible. I typically weigh somwhere between 127-130 lbs. I would like to weigh somwhere between 120-123 lbs.

Averaged 8:00 min miles.

Weight 125 lbs.

Treadmill run. It was okay. I would rather be outside. It is hard to get out of bed when no one is waiting for me. My running partner is not recovered from St. George so I am looking forward to her coming back.

Why is it that my son does not eat his lunch while he is sitting in his high chair but eats all the food he has thrown on the ground while I am trying to sweep it up? YUCK!

Another Jillian Micheals workout. Hated it but loved it!!!! Know what I mean? I even finished it. I think it makes a difference when you don't run before. Plus, last workout she had me do 200 squats. I am walking like a duck. I can't wait to see what her workouts will do to my backside.

I am not too happy that I started posting my weight because it was horrible today!!!!

Why is it ladies you can eat great and gain weight? Men you would never understand!!!!

Weight 127.

O well I didn't do anything wrong my body just has a mind of its own. I am a little nervous to see what tomorrow will bring!!!

It was hard today. I always stop taking my asthma meds thinking I don't really need them and then a day like today reminds me...I really do need them.

I ran with my partner for the first time since SGM. Her asthma was bugging her and so was her foot. We were happy to be out there though.

Dang it was windy today. I used my husbands ipod because mine is broken and it was interesting. His music went from Eminem to Techno to Josh Groban to Classical. Strange combinations.
