Was feeling a bit sluggish today, had a tough time getting my self to stay running, so I switched walk, run over and over.  I am not sure how to track calories burned for that.  I know it is supposed to be really good for you to do (is it called intervals?) that.  My treadmill said 461 calories and of course I would like to believe that, but looking at the calorie calculator here - it is inaccurate.  So, I am going to say 400.   I felt like going a bit farther today - so I did 3.1.  But, heck that means I have to go farther tomorrow.  Oh nuts.

It feels good to sweat again.  Did a little over two miles.  Ran a 9 min/mi for a few (seconds!!  Ha Ha).  My goal is to run/walk further each time, even if only a tiny bit.  Felt like I was going to cough up a lung, but am now that much better for doing it.  Wanted to fit in some lifting today, but as usual have to cart the kids to school, etc.  Wont be back until 8:30 tonight.  Maybe lift before bed?  Hmmmm . . . . .   Regardless, I am so unhappy with what the scale is telling me, personally I would like to think it is lying, but, I know it isn’t.  I can see the extra several lbs and feel them.  Darn holiday cookies, pie, cake, pastries and lovely things filled with butter and fat.  I should take a picture and file it away for next year, and when the holidays hit, post a life size image in the kitchen.  Maybe that will deter me next year!!!

Warmed up with a 5 min walk and then ran and then a 5 min. slow down.  Was in no hurry - just wanted to get 1/2 hour in.  I am following the Abs Diet workout to the letter to see if I can lose anything.  Feel good.

My time is getting better over the last 3 days of beginning to run again.  I am walking less and running more.  I probably ran about 3/4 of the time.  I feel great.  I am so proud that I am actually sticking with it and doing it.  This = 9 miles between Sun, Mon & Tues.  Yeaaaaahhh!!  2-3 miles tomorrow and 2 circuits/full body (abs emphasis)  Go me!

didn’t have enough time to get in as much as I would have liked.  Need to get my little one off to pre-school.  Did get in circuit training too - so I did really well today!

Beautiful weather!!  About 55 degrees, in the woods, on the dirt road.  The road is just softening up. The things we heard (in no particular order): 3 streams, wind blowing through the trees, cars, woodpecker, chickadee, mourning dove, rooster crowing (that’s always funny to hear in the middle of the woods), 1 river flowing, a branch falling, a small airplane, our foot steps on the dirt road, a husky barking,  a chain saw.  The puppy growled & barked at a creepy man that walked by us.  That was A good feeling to know he will be a good protector.  Such a nice bonding experience with the dog. (I do have issue with the fact that the automatic calculator is telling me I only burned 7 calories.  impossible)

Just couldn’t make myself do any of it today.  Yeah, I did 2.25 mi. on the torture device - walked about 1.25 of it.  Am I lazy?  Am I doing too much without days off in between?  Not sure. I am tired of the beginner video workout - tomorrow we amp it up to the next level (should be fun to watch my husband doing that!) I couldn’t even force myself to do the lunge portion of the video - and I skipped the push-ups.  Man what a BAD attitude I have!!  Back in tomorrow - 4 miles on the mill and I will rock the advanced video.  Maybe I will introduce my husband to pilates.  That may be even more amusing!  (At least I burned a meal’s calories with my pathetic walk/run)  RHCP just came on the radio as I am typing this, maybe it is a sign!  Oh - and I am down to 133 this a.m., so it IS working.

It went like this:  Walk .50 mile to warm up.  Think to myself “I will walk .50 then run .50 until 4 mi”.  I am so darn haphazard, that didn’t happen.  I am in such a grumpy mood this morning and Ellen was already over so I had to run to “The View” (not that stimulating for me).  I almost quit at 1.25 - but I refused to get off of the treadmill.  My guestimation:  I probably walked about 1.5 miles and ran 2.5.  When I ran it was at 5.2-5.4 which I found very comfortable for the mood/lack of Ellen.  Back again tomorrow.  Going to make a nice veggie/hummus wrap.  Proud that I am keeping it up.
