or do i?
wiggle wiggle wiggle wiggle
wiggle
YEAH
now, i know everyone has their own...
"self portrait"
i may see one thing
and someone else will see another
i realize i am not ginormous
but
i've gotten fairly "soft" these past few years.
working a 9-5er can really do some harm
to your bod
especially when you
sit.all.day.long.
with a lil more time on my hands this summer
i have been trying to stay on track
cutting out soda
drinking more water
grilled chicken/not fried
(wah.)
no fast food
etc. etc.
not a diet, just better decisions.

and while i've been trending to do a bit better
i still fall off that wagon every so often
i want to be one of those people who likes to run
I WANT TO BE ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE WHO LIKES TO RUN!
i'm getting there.
i think.
i've asked friends what kind of jams they listen to
i always thought i needed something with a beat
that keeps me pumped
but, if i want to last longer while running
and keep a consistent pace
i've realized that songs that i can sing-a-long to
are what's best for
ME
i'm quite the "clicker." i tend to only listen to the first
45 seconds of a song
so i've been finding some
sing-a-longs
(mainly country)
AND
have been leaning on a new
FREE

Couch to 5k
it's awesome!
i'm tempted to purchase the 1/2 marathon one
(baby steps ok?)
it's great because
i can run, and not have a timer!
--i've been told to do the whole 60 second run/90 second walk
but as terrible as it sounds
looking at the time every 20 seconds was
NOT
cutting it--
a lady's voice will chime in and
tell me when to
"start running"
"start walking"
"start your cool down"
i can play my playlist at the same time, too!
all things grand.
ALSO,
i swiped Just the Rules
by Tosca Reno
on Amazon for about $twelve
she recommended eating every 3 hours and
has all kinds of quick tips!
including:
plain ol' oatmeal with fresh fruit
a dab of honey if you need it
(for breakfast)
so that's basically what i've been eating every morning
and it's not too shabby!
it keeps me full, and it's a great way to start the day
quite the wordy bird today, aren't i?
what's your lifestyle like?
do you have any jams that keep you going on a run?
what keeps you motivated??
