mars2kids's Journal, 05 May 14

I ate horribly over the weekend and only got a workout in Saturday because I ended up being gone more than I thought I would be Sunday. I need to start getting here and tracking again on the weekends, but it's hard when you're gone and eating foods that other people have made or eating out at buffet.

It's going to be a super busy week, but I should be able to find time for workouts at leat 4 days. I should also be able to eat healthy this week, I just have to make myself stick with it and not be tempted to grab unhealthy foods during times of stress. Today I didn't have time to make a salad for lunch, so I figured I'd grab one at the grocery store since I had to make a trip there anyway. It took every ounce of willpower not to go through a drive-thru, but I stopped myself and went to the store and got the salad. I feel good about that choice, but I have to take the time to make my lunch this week or tomorrow I may not choose so wisely.

No workout tonight because of my daughter's volleyball practice, but I should have plenty of time tomorrow before baseball. After seeing a bunch of facebook posts over the weekend of people doing marathons, half marathons, and spartan races, I am really wanting to kick my running into high gear. The weather should cooperate this week so that will be helpful. I'm a couple of weeks away from finishing my couch to 5K, then I think I'll move up to couch to 10K. I heard a guy on a TV commercial the other day say "It's not about being number one, it's about crossing the finish line." That really stuck with me. I'll never be a super fast runner, but I will do what I can to cross the finish line. If I can't push to be faster, I'll push to go further, or run more and walk less. I'm feeling confident!

Have a great Monday!!

I've never been a fast runner, either. I always tell people, "I'm not fast, but I can endure." Way to go!

When my kids are at sports practice/games, I try walking around the area.

You can do this. The salad was a great win for you! I need to use you as inspiration and start doing more salads. To me you are a fast runner, so keep it up speedy.
