My Cool Dude

I did not do my weekly check in last week because I forgot and actually could not remember what workouts I did the previous week. I have not been able to work out as much as I would like as I started to get back pain again. So I reached out to some of my girlfriends and went to see a chiroprator. They took x-rays of my spine and lets just say it was not pretty. No wonder I have back pain. So I have started some exercises for my back as well as weekly adjustments. I am feeling better but still not working out as much as I would like. Still trying to find that balance of family/house stuff/me time.

I ran 3 miles last night and it felt pretty good (the 65 degree weather might have helped too). I have started to eat better at work and not snack as much. In 2 weeks I have lost about 2lbs. It is not great but at least a start. So till next week.

At it again

I know I have been away from the blog world for some time but I am going to take a shot at it again. I started working out again, so I figure I can keep a log of what I am doing & my results. And I will TRY to post some pictures of the little ones or funny stories from them. So lets start with the workout. Monday check in... It has been really hard for me to start working out again after this pregnancy. I just always seem to make an excuse. I ran a 5K on Thanksgiving and have not done anything since then. I always make this great plan of running so many days per week & then doing some other type of workout as well. So time to change it up again. I got Zumba for the Wii for Christmas & am signing up to do the Go St Louis Marathon Relay in April. I started out slow with Zumba as I have no idea of the moves. So Lucas & I did a few songs Tuesday. He seemed to have fun & I started to get a little sweat going on. I can only imagine what it will be like when I do a full class. Then I ran about 1.8 miles on Thursday night. It felt so good to get out there and run again. I also got my butt out there last night in the cold and ran thanks to a good friend and her text. I plan to run 2-3 times this week as well as some more Zumba. So until next Monday's check in.

2012

I know I have not posted in a long time and I am not going to make excuses. Because that is just a waste of time. But here is to a new year.

So I have never been one to make new years resolutions and if I did, I never stuck to it. But I am going to try this year. I have a good group of friends that will keep me on track and hopefully get me to stick to it a little better.

So in 2012 I am going to try and get my life/house more organized. I always say I need to clean out the closet or organize the basement, but just never get to it. So I am going to take a page from a friend's book (or her binder) and try something new this year. She uses a Goals & Project Binder. In it includes meal plans, goals for the week (personal & family), and projects for the year. Of course this is not something that I will put together in one week for the whole year and then try to stick to it. I plan on taking it 1 week at a time.

So hoping this works for me and can de-clutter my life/house.

Happy New Year!!!

P90X/running

Let me first say that I am upset with myself. I am not going to finish the P90X (at least not this time). My back started hurting, so I took a couple of days off which turned into 10 days. Now I am still going to be doing some of the workouts, but have decided to start running as well. I really miss the running (I thought I would never say that). I decided to run a 5K with 6 of my friends the end of July. So since I have not run since the half in April, I figured I better get back to hitting the pavement. So this is my workout for the next 6 weeks. Running Sunday, Tuesday & Thursday. Monday will do P90X core & Friday will do P90X either Cardio or Kenpo. And then I will also do the ab ripper X on Tuesday & Thursday. I think this will still get me working out and ready for the race in July.
