So its Monday and I thought I would give a little post.
My weekend was pretty laid back. I spent the most of Saturday out shopping for baby shower stuff with my mom. Her and I are helping plan a shower for my sister in law for next Saturday. We were having a hard time finding the paper goods but did alright in the end. I also had an electrolysis appointment. For those of you who don’t know its permanent hair removal. Being of Spanish blood I had a lot of excess hair on my face and a serious uni-brow when I was younger. It’s been several years since I’ve had to pluck my eyebrows or anything else on my face for that matter. I decided that why stop at my face?? So I’m having my pits done. It’s pretty painful but well worth it. I used to have to pluck my brows daily it seemed like and now I comb them… ha ha its pretty sweet.
We had a late lunch with my parents and then went home to just relax… well it was soooo nice out that we decided to go for a run. We had Boomer this weekend so he got to go along. We did just over 2 miles in about 35 mins. That included 2 grueling hill sprints… I actually passed Step at one point but he wasn’t really trying… but it was still nice to speed past him.
We had a nice stretch and then threw in a movie for the rest of the evening.
Sunday I got up early and headed out to my parents place about 40 mins away to do a workout with my mom and weigh her in and stuff. She did really well… I had her do a circuit type workout with really light weight so that I could teach her proper form and breathing. She kept complaining that the weights weren’t heavy enough … ha she is ambitious! Next week she will come to me and we will walk 3 miles (the loop) to start prepping for the 5K walk we are doing on Valentine’s Day. My hope to is someday be able to run with her… but she said she hasn’t run since junior high some 30+ years ago... but she wants to again someday which makes me happy.
I didn’t get my points for yesterday as far as food goes… I was still in the deficit but only 596. I didn’t think I ate that much, but oh well. I also took the day off of exercise which I am now kicking myself for… I will make up for it this week though.
Today marks day 1 of my ½ marathon training. Step thinks that upping the mileage a mile a week is too ambitious but we will see how I do. In 2 weeks when my long run is 5 miles, that will be the true test… I haven’t run more than 4 so we will see. I am fully confident that I can do it and if I feel I need to repeat a week I have no problem doing that. Step thinks I should just do that anyway, but we will see maybe when I get into the 7-10 range I might want more time.
At the moment I am not really feeling too hot… I have a bit of a headache… I swear the water here gives me one. I went to school on my lunch break to see what books I needand also got a nice walk in. The majority of my classes have an online component and for my C&J 314 class there is already an assignment up and a packet we have to pick up before class tomorrow and go through, but School was closed today so I don’t know how we are expected to pick up stuff and go through it before tomorrow… Its my last class of the day so hopefully I will get an opportunity to pick it up and go through it… but the copy center its at on campus is like waaaaaay out of the way… I swear all the buildings are over .25 mile from each other… which is NOT a bad thing but when I have only 15 mins… then it becomes a problem!
Okay now I’m just ranting. I’m slightly discouraged that my weight hasn’t changed much but then I figure I’m just not working hard enough… so I need to work harder and STOP being impatient. I think hiding the scale might not be a bad idea for this next week… I’m getting obsessive again about it. I think I might just have Step take my measurements and compare to the last time… see if there have been any change… Okay again I’m ranting… that’s all for now.
Happy Monday.
VIRGO! 
You and Steph are so cute, exercising together. PZ and I had a great bonding experience during our breakdancing lesson. He also put some ferns and stuff in his greenhouse and said I could put orchids in there and he'd take care of them
