So, started the routine this morning. I was pretty anxious last night, and kept checking the clock. Woke up at 2, 3 and 4 AM. When my alarm went off at 5:00, I was up, dressed and off to run 4 miles. I got to the gym and boy, are there a lot of people in there that early. I grabbed a treadmill. Miles 1 &2 were okay, then I felt extremely sluggish up to mile 3.5, when I stupidly hit clear. So, I just walked/ran the other .5 mile. Oh well, I will do better on Wednesday. I feel full of energy this morning and hope to carry that through the rest of the day!! WOOT WOOT!!!
On my new plan, I will only be running every other day. The days I don't run, will be all about the stair stepper, eliptical, and stationary bike. I am hoping to avoid injury before the half marathon so I am taking it SLOW my first time around.
I do have some awesome news! I weighed in last Monday and was 130.8. This morning the scale said 127.4!! Woohoo!! I hope to be below the 120's by marathon time, if I am not at goal :)
I hope everyone had an awesome weekend :)

New Routine....
I am participating in the "Beck Diet for Life" discussion group that Jen is hosting on her page! I am excited as I have read about 55 pages of the book. The thing about it is, I have already been following some of the Beck Diet without realizing it because I stopped the snacking before and after dinner. I used to snack like CRAZY! A package of licorice after dinner? Yes, please! How about a half gallon of ice cream? If you tempt me, I will naw your arm off!! It was pretty bad. I had horrible portion sizes, as well. Typical lunch was a Taco Bell Chicken Quesadilla and a Cheesy Bean and Rice Burrito....YUM!!!
However, the past few months, I have kept myself pretty occupied. It's to the point that I don't even notice the ice cream or candy that Love always HAS TO HAVE :)!!! That guy has a sweet tooth like you wouldn't believe. He never gains an ounce though. I am so glad that I have the will to resist the temptations!!
I have decided to get into a new routine. I am going to get up and out the door between 5:15 and 5:25 to hit the gym every morning Monday-Friday. Workout for an hour to an hour and a half and come home to cuddle with Love for a few minutes before he has to be up for work. Then, I will get ready for work myself. Go to work and work all day(while planning eating and snacking). Come home. Get right on the cleaning, dinner making and household business. After dinner, pack my lunch, lay out my gym clothes and shoes for the next morning, get my breakfast necessities ready. Then, to bed before 10.
I have found that once I start a schedule, I am pretty diligent about keeping up with it. It is just getting into the routine and getting used to the alarm at 5AM lol. So, wish me luck.
Today, I have already had the repair man over to fix my dryer, started and mostly finished laundry, scrubbed the kitchen, read my "Beck's Diet for Life" book and started making my Response Cards and Advantages List. I think it is just about nap time for this tired girl :)
Have an amazing day, y'all!! Thanks for visiting!
