My Purpose

Hey guys! I created this blog as kind of an exercising/healthy eating journal for me, hopefully to solicit some encouragement, advice, and support from you. I thought a blog would give me a sense of accountability to you, the reader, and therefore would help me get my lazy behind out of bed or off the couch, and "get-er done!" This is an interactive blog so please, comment! (so I know you're there). Due to an ongoing low energy problem, and a personal goal to improve my fitness and eat healthier, I'm doing the "couch potato to 5K" training program and am just starting to follow Dana Thornock's "Lean and Free 2000 plus" which tells you how to eat 2000 to 4000 total calories a day, from all food groups, and still lose weight, get slim, and have energy. I feel strongly that a "Word of Wisdom" way of eating (found in the Doctrine and Covenants, Section 89) is the very best, and Dana follows this perfectly. It is my great desire to "run and not be weary, and walk and not faint!"

Please join me!

Week Five.

It took me more than two weeks to do week five, but I'm done!(phew)  I did my 5K practice tonight.  I wish I could capture with my camera how beautiful it was (not me, the scenery) but I'm not that great of a photographer, so you'll just have to believe me.  My goal was 35 minutes and I made it in 34!  Yeah!!!  I even walked the last 6 minutes, so I felt really good about that.  I think I could have done better, but then I would have had to kill myself next week to beat it, so I took it easy and stuck with the goal.  I got some new  headphones for my mp3, and they work (meaning, they don't fall off while I'm jogging).  They're the kind with the big pads that go around the back of your neck, so, cushy, but not dorky.
It's good that they work.  I was having to wear a hat all the time to keep my ear buds in.  Yucky in this heat!  On to week six, happy running!
