First time training outside this week and with 3 weeks to go I am already doing half the 5K in around 25 min. Not too bad in my opinion. My goal is to be at 2 miles without gaining too much time, we will see. I am planing to run the Komen in june depending on how the hermann one goes

A 5K Really?!
It all started as a normal uneventful day until 12:15 (Dun dun dun) I walk into the gym, signed in and started to walk in with Michelle and she says "I want to talk to you but let's get started first" this can't be good. Michelle is my trainer, and a very sweet person who actually cares, I just feel so bad for her because sometimes during our training sessions the devil enters her body and she makes me do horrible things like sweat.
So I hop on the treadmill and start my warm up and she wants to give me a challenge, I said sure (because I am a moron and agree to things blindly).
So now that I have pretty much agreed she informs me the challenge is a 5K I hold my breath for a second and sigh "Ok" before i can think she basiclly said "Good, we are starting training today lets crank this treadmill into warp speed" and the butt whooping began. I am not sure what a Bosu ball (you know that half ball thing that is flat on one side that you balance on) has to with 5K training, but it is a moronic thing that i am frightened to get on and once on am more scared to get off. Why did she put me on that thing again? Oh yeah, pure humiliation.
Oh yes for those who are interested, my diet is going crappy I am not eating enough and struggling. At last check i havnt lost any weight I have been fluctuating between the same 5 pounds. I am not worried though it will come.

Going to do a 5k more to come

Cookies brownies and get out of jail cupcakes

Today has been a day of ups and downs and if I didn't know any better I would say someone was playing a rotten April Fool's gag on me. We are trying to buy a house, and just getting the preapproval for financing alone is enough to make you want to jump off a bridge. Anyway by noon today my body was screaming for me to go get some get out of jail cupcakes.
Get out of jail cupcakes are just grocery store cupcakes, but for me they are ultimate comfort like a long term prisoner would feel after being released into their mother's arms.
So anyway since no one in my general area carry these cupcakes I went to the gym, I didn't work that hard because my body wouldn't let me, what it did though was make me want to cry. Then it made me want to get mad, but before it was all said and done I was laughing and forgetting my problems. That is when things turned for the better. My body was no longer screaming for dangerously sugary snacks that I would have eaten a dozen of. My phone started ringing with positive calls and we now have pre approval. We looked at some great houses, and had some great family time, then I went to one of those grocery stores that sell the infamous cupcakes. I didn't buy any. I bought chocolate chips, m&m's, brownie mixes (yes mixes)and many other baking ingredients. Don't worry, I havn't lost my mind. I am baking some goodies tonight for some hard working menhanging drywall at my church tomorrow and not a single one will pass through my lips. I won't even sample the dough.
I know there will be times that I will faulter, but today I didn't and I am proud of that. I survived today, and that is good enough for me.
