Sorry I’ve been MIA. Just super busy. And not much in the blogging mood. This is going to be a bit random. Maybe I should bullet point, lol.
-The weather has been so nice that after supper that Husband and I put the kids in the bike trailer and go riding. I am totally in love with cycling. Okay, riding a cruiser isn’t cycling, per se, but if I said biking that would mean motorcycle, right? Either way, it’s just the best. I love the wind in my hair so, so much. Husband even bought himself a shiny new bike so we can all ride together! Now, we are contemplating an upgrade on our trailer. In my grand scheme, I want to have a pop-up camper and for vacations we’d drive somewhere bike-friendly and camp and just be a family. I want us to be that fit, active family.
-Exercise is going well. Food is going well. I’m feeling pretty zen about it all. Once I busted 190lbs, things have been better in my mind. For example, I had bootcamp on Saturday. Purposely took Sunday off and Monday was Memorial Day and I was just too busy. Well, Tuesday rolled around and I just didn’t make it to the gym for several reasons. Did I freak out? NO! Because I knew I’d be in there Wednesday morning. And while I did eat a brownie last night after supper, I know that I can control myself in the evening hours now. I wouldn’t call it loosening up on myself. It’s more like a new perspective. That may be a crappy way to describe it, but it’s the best I’ve got.
-Yesterday, I ended up working out with one of the female trainers at the Y. Informally. It was an ego boost because I think I am in equally good shape as a TRAINER. How crazy is that? Fred was in the vicinity of our workout and I think he was really proud of me–he said, “Look at you, training the trainer!” It was really fun working with this woman and I hope timing works out so that we can do it again. I think we could learn stuff from one another.
-I’ve been running on the treadmill again because I’ve committed myself to a 5k in November. I’m not training for it yet, but trying to warm to the idea. Right now, I do a 12 minute mile. In fact, I’ve been running a mile as a warm up before my workout. A 5k is 3.125 miles. So theoretically, it would take me just over 36 minutes to finish a 5k. Yesterday, I ran for 15 minutes solid. So I’ve got to triple that basically. I’m pretty sure I can do it. Luckily, I have a friend who is running with me!
