I heart my Forerunner

OMG, I love my Forerunner!!!

It totally rocks. It tells me exactly how many miles I've ran and what my pace is. It's got some other cool stuff but I haven't played with it yet.


I went for a run Tuesday and I went for a run today. Today I did over 3 miles. My legs are a little sore, but it was nice to get out and run. Just to be on the safe side, I called the OB to make sure it was ok to run. The nurse said yes, if I had been running before which I have. So, I got the ok.

My Detour

My journey to healthy living has a bit of a detour. I am currently pregnant with our 2nd child. I'm about 4 weeks pg, and my due date is around late August, early September.

I haven't run in about 3 weeks. 2 weeks I was sick and then this week I just have been feeling blah. However, I want to keep running, as long as I feel good. I am feeling a bit better, I haven't really had any morning sickness. I'm a bit tired, but I can still function. So, I am going to keep running this week. I really want to keep in shape with this pregnancy. I am about 50-60 lbs lighter than when I was pg with Kalynn. I am hoping that since I am in better shape, that my labor will be shorter. My last labor was 29 hours and I'm hoping that it will be significantly less.

So, I will keep running, and eating better, just not to lose weight. .Although, I haven't been eating very well this week, I plan on doing better this week.

FREEEEEZING!!!

Hello! I'm doing very well weight wise. My ticker has moved! My goal weight is 145 and I'm 147.5. Hopefully, if I keep on doing what I'm doing, I'll get to 145! I think my sewing has really helped. I'm keeping busy with my sewing orders, and I don't get bored and I don't snack.

I haven't been able to run since Tuesday. Yesterday we got a weird ice storm, where it got below freezing. Today may not be any better. Today is group run but I don't think I'll be able to go..I just asked advice on what to wear when it's cold. They said NOT to wear cotton and that's all I have. And I really don't want to freeze my booty off. I guess this means I need to get on the machine of torture. Too bad I don't live close to mom, I could use her tread mill :D

Speaking of mom..Mom, I think you need to start a blog and use a ticker to keep track of your progress!! Dad too, because he's lost over 60 lbs and he looks so great!

One of my biggest fears was the holidays and I think I'm doing pretty well!! I did gain weight but I've lost it!

My new ventures

So, how does everyone like my new template? And see the ticker at the bottom? I don't have much further to go!!


I've started a new venture which I think is helping me with my weight loss!! I belong to a message board where I've decided to sell my sewing projects! It's been going well, therefore, keeping me busy so I won't get bored and snack on bad stuff.

I haven't been able to run this week. I did, work out on the elliptical yesterday! I really hate that thing. I call is the "machine of torture". I don't know why I despise it so much.

The lbs that I gained at Thanksgiving, I have lost them! Very happy about that! I'm below 150 by .5 of a lb, but hey, that's fine with me!
