I have a box of clothes that don't fit me anymore- and haven't fit me in several years- that I've packed up. I gave myself a deadline that if I can't wear them before we move in May- then I'm donating them. I WANT to wear those cute clothes again and I will!
Don't forget to stop by Erin and Alex's page and check out their journey's... as well as everyone that has linked up with the Weigh in Wednesday group! I love the motivation I get from reading other blogs as well as the motivation that you all are holding me accountable!
I haven't been running like I wanted to because.. well because I suck. I could list all of my excuses but that's just what they are- EXCUSES!
BUT- my daughter and I went running tonight without the dogs (sorry pooches). It felt incredible. I ran so much more than I have ran in years! I'm nowhere near where I want to be but I can already feel a huge difference. I love it!
Then I came home- showered- and ate a snack inspired by something Mama Laughlin posted on Instagram. Mine is a bit different than her's because I used what I had on hand but I LOVED it. I put some pumpkin flax seed granola in a bowl with 2 TBSP creamy peanut butter and some fat free milk. OH. MY. LORD! It was awesome. It is my new favorite meal/snack/whatever. Both my kids and my husband said it looked gross. Good because this snack is ALL MINE!
Here's a snapshot of my recent runs/walks. As you can see it took me awhile to realize I needed to change my workout from walk to run. But don't pay attention to that- pay attention to my times and how much I've already improved!
Stay tuned.. I'm looking into getting a guest blog from a friend of mine that is much farther in her running and is training for a half marathon! (Hi Becky! I hope you're reading this!!)
I have tons of cute clothes that are in my attic and I refuse to never wear them again! keep up the good work!!
