Yesterday and Today

SUCCESS!!! I can't believe it. I put on my music and ran for 30 solid minutes yesterday! I got over 2.5 miles on the treadmill! I burned over 500 calories!

Finally I feel that I can accomplish these goals that I have set.

Tonight I'm planning on doing it again!

I can't wait...to exercise. Can you believe that!

Here's to 2009 being the best that it can be!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Christmas has come and gone (and it was a wonderful holiday :D) and now it is finally time to get back on track. I've taken some time off, but if I want to meet my goals for the summer I really need to get back into my routine.

Thank you to Laura, whose blog has helped me realize that I shouldn't give up just because I took an extended break from my work outs. Thank you Laura, sincerely.

Anyway, today is the day I start anew. I plan to run for 30 minutes (with a good episode of Pushing Daisies on in order to distract me). After that I will complete my crunch workout. Hopefully all goes well, and depending on how my run goes (treadmill), I'll determine how much I plan to jog in the coming days.

Thank you all for supporting me. I hope your holidays were as wonderful as mine. For anyone on the same adventure as me: KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK! WE CAN DO THIS TOGETHER!

Thank you all. Have a happy New Year!

Starting Again

Thank you all for being so patient. Finals week is over and now I am finally going to find time to get back on track. Though I'm probably back to square one, the fact that I'm ready to continue is truly a good sign of progress.

Here's to hoping that I'll get back on that wagon and start trucking toward the goal.

Thanks for the support!

Day Off

Finals week...I'm going crazy. I'm taking time off even though I shouldn't.

I'll start my workouts up again later this week.

It's cruch time (no pun intended :D)

Please keep up and keep me motivated!

Thanks everyone!

Another Good Day!!!

So today I got up early to work, and right after work I went to the gym. Today, for something new, I went and worked on weight machines for about 15 - 20 minutes. It was actually fun! I'm a little self-conscious going in there alone, but hopefully I'll have the courage to keep up with it!

Then I went and did my cruch routine. It was a success. I think I'll need to start pushing myself to do a little more than what I'm currently doing.

I decided not to run today. Instead, I slowly rode one of the bikes - slowly, because I was studying notecards (it's finals week and all).

But overall a good day!

I feel like I'm making headway!

Thanks to everyone out there who's supporting me (especially Laura :D)

Average Day

Today was...well...an average day. I didn't stick with my eating plan, but I didn't eat anything in gross portions, so I consider it a success.

At the gym I ran half a mile and then did 20 minutes on the bike. I finished off my doing my cruch work. I'm still not enjoying myself, but I do feel like I'm getting into a routine and that is good.

Tomorrow is an off day, but I'll still do my cruch work.

Sunday...drumroll please...I'm supposed to run three miles, but I'll be happy to accomplish the 2.5 that I missed last week.

:D Enjoy the adventure!

Thank you!

I just wanted to say thank you: to anyone who follows this, and to myself, for finally decided that it's time to do something about my life.
