lunch time work out

Today I did my workout during my lunch break. That's right in my nylons and skirt and everything. It is just a good thing no one was around for all my high kicks. :-) I've had 4 fruits today. I need to still make sure I have two servings of veggies, but I am planning on having a salad with my dinner, so I will get them in. My water, I really have already had almost all of my water, but I'm sure I will drink at least another 32 oz. before I leave work. I have decided to train for a half marathon. (Thanks to seeing Michelle do it) I got a fitness magazine in the mail yesterday and it has a simple plan to follow... so today I will also be walking/jogging 2 miles. It isn't really that far. The same day I was going to do the Susan G. Koman Race for the Cure 5K is the same day as a half marathon in Ogden. I really didn't think I could have the stamina to do 13.1 miles, but really I have until May 9th to prepare. Why not just go for it? Anyway... I'm a little scared because I have never been a runner, so I'm sure I will start out with mostly walking, but I am really going to push and try to get myself to jog too. Maybe in a month or so I will like to try to push myself to run some. :-) I am not doing this on the treadmill. I don't like the treadmill, and the weather here in Salt Lake is nice enough I can do it outside. I mapped out a 2 mile route that I am going to take this afternoon. I'll have to check in with how I did and if it killed me. If it doesn't kill me... it will only make me stronger.

I was reading Kristina's blog today about going through so many struggles to get Evan and how she doesn't regret any of it because the joy she felt when she finally had him was so great. I really feel like that is part of my weight lose process. I have to go through some really had things, but I will not regret the experiences and the life lessons I will learn while I come closer to my final weight goal. Thank you for sharing such a personal thing Kristina.
