Enjoying Running...

I must admit, I'm enjoying this whole running thing more than I thought I would. :) Which is great, because I really needed this motivation to get me back on the exercising ban-wagon (is that how you spell it?)...

Last night's run/walk, however, was GREAT the 15 minutes.. Then I accidentally hit "STOP" so I had to re-start it all...the last half, wasn't so great.. My stomach wasn't feeling right, I was getting like nauseous feeling.. I know now not to eat my entire dinner before exercising...I thought by me waiting like 45 minutes, that it'd be okay, but I was wrong.

I didn't work out the night before last, because I was tired from waking up at 5:45am to get to work at 6:30am..but I talked myself into it being OKAY since I started my training a day early... Which I probably should've just gotten off of my butt and gone to work out.. Oh well.. :)

I didn't take a picture for my Project Life thing on Tuesday, either, so I took two yesterday to make up for it.

"jan 12th" - I didn't know what to take a picture of, so I took it of myself...in the bathroom...You know the Myspace way..or whatever. LOL. I realize that I need to buy new scrubs, SOON!!

jan 13th - I had a spoonful of peanut butter after my workout... My boyfriend thinks its gross, but I like it! :)

I'm super excited about tonight, Grey's Anatomy is back on for a 2 hour cross-episode, or whatever, with Private Practice. I'm planning on having my friends over: Ashlee, Desiree, and Sarah... The evening will consit of a lot of glasses of wine ;)... I'm READY!!!

At Work Way Too Early...

Good morning!!! :) I got to work way too early this morning, at 6:30am, to prepare the office for our first chart audit.. We'll see how this goes today. Hopefully smoothly.

Last night, I ran/walked on the treadmill for 30min.. Ended up doing a little over 2 miles, but I had to keep stopping because I was getting cramps. I forget what that means when you get cramps - either not enough salt, or not enough sugar. I can't remember..I'll have to ask my Mom later today, because she knows.

After working out, Brian and I went over to Papa Murphy's in Carrollton (soooo good) and got a Chicken Bacon Artichoke deLITE pizza...Except my half had no chicken or bacon. We hadn't had that in a while - probably a couple months - so it was nice to have it again...

I was really disappointed this morning when I weighed in.. The scale keeps going up a pound a day, and I really CANNOT wait to be off of this dang prednisone (prescribed for my headaches, well to see if it will help). The scale this morning said 156.2lbs. :( Hopefully, once I'm off the medicine (only three days left of it), I'll go down in weight.

- jan 11th - A picture of the treadmill...with my Camelbak waterbottle. I love it. :) I didn't know what to take a picture of for yesterday...

Well I better get back to work and finish these charts so they'll be ready for when the person comes to look at them...

First Follower :)

YAYYYYY!!! I have my first follower, Desiree!!! :) I'm excited! LOL

All These Pictures...

I'm a scrapbooker, and I'm doing a project called "Project Life" (which last year was called Project 365). Basically, what it is - you take one picture every day of something in your life... Then you put it in the scrapbook and journal a little bit about it. So, at the end of the year you will have a full year of your life documented.

Until I'm able to print everything, I will be posting my daily pictures on here...so if you're wondering what all these pictures are about..that's what all that is about. :)

Half Marathon Training!!!

I've decided to sign up for a half-marathon that is on March 14th called the Rock and Roll Half Marathon..I'm really excited about it. I've been thinking to myself that I'd like to get into running, because I do enjoy like jogging with my dogs..and since I've done the Breast Cancer 3-Day, and most of my training for that I did at a high incline (10-15% incline), so how hard can it be to start running? After my Mom sent me an email about the half marathon, I knew I wanted to do it, especially since it is benefitting Susan G. Komen for the Cure.

I started my training last night, a day early, because I could not wait!!!

The training schedule that my Mom made me shows Monday-Friday running 30 minutes, Saturday's are the "off" days, and then Sunday's are the long runs. Since I'm a beginner runner, I'm trying to encorporate what my Mom has taught me from the run/walk training that she had done to get herself starting to run. Last night, I ended up mostly running (more like jogging for now at 4.3-4.4mph) for 2 minutes, walking for 1 minute (still at a good speed of 4.0mph), and then back to running for 2 minutes. Ended up doing a little over 1 1/2 miles. I felt GREAT walking home from the gym.

Brian and I ended up going back up to the gym after he got off work, he ran for 3 miles, and I walked at 12% incline, 4mph, for 20 minutes..then ended up leaving early to go get us dinner before Subway closed.

I'm really excited about starting my training for the half marathon! I'll be running 30 minutes tonight when my boyfriend gets home..so we can do it together. :) I'm glad to have him to do this with me, just hope that he'll stick to it ;). The long runs, I'll have a running partner also, my Mom, which I'm so thankful for that. She was a lot of help with my long walks for the 3Day training.

Anyway, I better get off here, and get to work..

HOPEFULLY I can keep this blog going ;)

I started this blog a while ago, didn't really keep up with it and ended up deleting all the posts. I'm hoping I'll be able to start it back up, and keep up with it.

I love looking at this blog:

called Healthy Tipping Point. This is where I really started wanting to do a blog.. I just didn't know what to write about, so then I thought I'd document what I eat..so maybe it'll help me with my better food decision making. However, it didn't last very long.

Now, one of my friends has made a blog for fashion..which I love to read..but honestly, I'm not really that much of a fashionable person. Although, I have asked her to help me go clothes shopping once I lose the rest of my weight that I want to lose..so I'm excited about that! Just have to start saving my $$ for it ;) .

This morning, I weighed in, hoping that I would have lost some weight because I exercised last night for the first time in a while..probably a month.. I was disappointed to see I had gained one pound from Saturday. I'm blaming it on the steriod I'm on though, that my doctor prescribed for my headaches to hopefully "break up any inflamation" that I may have in my head since I've been having daily headaches. Anyway, so I'm hoping that once I'm done with them (I'm on day three of them, out of six days), the weight will come off...*fingers crossed*

Anyways...here's to re-starting my blog! :) Maybe I'll have a few followers!
