One of my goals was to be able to run a 5K. Well I just found out yesterday that the 5K is scheduled for April 17th. I have 12 weeks to get ready for it. In talking with a co-worker we decided that to train for the race I should start out at running .25 miles and increase my distance by .25 each week. So hopefully by the end of the 12 weeks I will be running my 5K.

Yellowstone

My husband and I had our 10 year anniversary trip this past week. We were able to get away to Yellowstone National Park and spent a couple of days in the park on snowmobiles. I had the best time ever! I could not beileve how beautiful it was in the winter. Plus it was nice to be gone for a couple of days and not have to worry about anything including the kids.

Time Flies By

Do you ever have those days were you wander where the time goes? I have the all the time anymore. It just seems like there are just not enough hours in a day. I get up get kids ready for school and get myself ready for work, work all day, then come home to homework, dinner, bath time and then ready for bed. There is just not enough me time in the day to do all the things that I would like to do. Does anyone else ever feel that way or is it just me?

Well I did not meet my excerise goal this past week, however I am going to add 15 more minutes on to my time so now I will need to excersie for 120 minutes this week. I will also be cutting way back on the sweets which should really help this week.

A New Year!

With the begining of a new year and New Year's resolutions I have realized that I can not just have a goal of loose weight or it will never happen. So I have set 3 goals that I would like to accomplish by this Spring.

1. To be able to fit into my cute capri pants again, because as of right now they are really tight.
2. To be able to walk up the stairs with out huffing and puffing when I get to the top.
3. To be able to run a 5K to help support victims of domestic violence and sexual abuse which will be taking place either April or May.

To be able to accomplish these goals I have to be able to set weekly goals so that it will be more managable to me. So for this week my goal is to drink more water (so hard in the winter time) and to exercise for at least 90 minutes total.

Santa was really good to us this year and brought us a Wii and I also received a Wii Fit Plus-which I did not think that you could get that great a work out playing games, boy was I wrong:-). So between the Wii and my treadmill I will accomplish the 90 minutes this week (I have to remember to think positive)!
