Crunch In Starting Wk 2

Procrastinating on the Christmas Crunch Blog is making me procrastinate my diet. There is a reason why Dani planned this during the Food Season. Which is great! I ran 2 miles a day ago and did 15 min on the elliptical. Today I did some weights in front of the TV with my son. Hard to get motivated when he "rules" the TV and I can't put in the exercise video.

My son was battling flu-like symptoms the past 5 days which added an extra challenge to my diet/workout. He is finally well now. And he will be with his father the coming week. Time for me to step up the diet and workout. I still weigh 126-7lbs in the morning and about 128-9 in the evening. No budging on the scale and I know the exact reason. Gotta work on diet. The carb cravings between 2-6p that keep me snacking.

Next Saturday is a local 5K and my goal is to run that 5K and finish it in a decent time. I'm not a runner. I repeat...Not a Runner! My right foot and left knee usually protest in pain. I've worked up to 2 miles and I believe 3.1 miles is possible. I will run a 5K. The next goal may be a 10K before I hit age 40. Blessings to all!

I'm impressed that you can run 2 miles! I have never been a runner, but I would LOVE to be one someday! I dream about running a lot.

I pray your son is feeling better!

Keep pressing on. We can do this!

I wish you both can run the 5K with me! I'm on my own here and friends at work are not going to go. It's sponsored by the hospital I work at. I have never did this before! It's hard to keep going after a mile but this blog and my recent "life changing events" have motivated me to accomplish some personal goals such as this run. 3 days left!
