Ok first off, I want to say thanks to everyone for the prayers and what not for my back...I feel much better. I think it was just a very badly pulled muscle, but I feel better now. MzzLily left a comment on my post but I accidently hit the reject button instead of accept :( So if you're reading this, I did get your comment and I appreciate it. I tried to go back and undo it, but once it happened I couldn't do anything :(
My back is doing better, so I'm back to running again. I'm home now for the summer and in a way I'm really excited and really scared all at the same time. I mean, this is the place that I got fat pretty much. It was the food here, and the lack of exercise that made me this way and now I'm back here. I'm hoping with my job this summer I'll stay busy and away from my house that way i'm not tempted to eat everything I see lol.
I just bought some Workout Mix CD's...I'm hoping they help. They seem really cool so I'm hoping I can listen to them while I run and it'll help inspire me haha.
I thought I should give you an update on the 5K this summer...as far as I know I am planning on doing it. It might possibly kill me and kick my butt in the process, but I really want to do it and once I start it, I WILL finish it. Whether I have to run or walk, I will finish. It's a 5K which is about 3.2 miles, so for me to run the entire thing would be a big accomplishment. I'm gonna start running more at the farm here versus on the treadmill that way I get used to hills and what not. The treadmill is flat and so it's fairly easy to run, but once you start running uphill it gets a little more difficult lol. But yeah, I'm pretty sure the marathon is the 4th of July at like 9am or something like that. I'll keep ya updated as it gets closer.
As all of you know I absolutely HATE weighing so I try not to do it very often lol; however, I came in last night from Memphis and after I put my stuff down and changed I stepped on the scale. I've lost around 40lbs of fat and I've gained about 6lbs of muscle since I've been lifting weights. I'm really excited because my clothes are starting to officially get big on me :) It's awesome lol!
Well I'll keep you guys posted with everything, but as for now I've got my tennis shoes on and my ipod in my pocket so I'm off to run. See ya! :)

Yea! Fantastic! You have motivated me to get outside and move. Thank you. I know what you mean about home. I live with Hubby & his folks. They eat way too unhealthy! It's hard for me to stick to small healthy portions. They don't like the healthy stuff I cook, so I don't cook very often. Good luck. We'll help each other stay motivated.
ReplyDeleteCongrats! You have an award waiting for you on my 'blahwg' blog. Stop by and claim it!
ReplyDeleteMy goodness. Good luck with the running. I am trying to start also. I am thinking of trying the City of Oaks Marathon http://www.cityofoaksmarathon.com/. I live in Raleigh.
ReplyDeleteHere is a website I have found really helpful for me the novice runner. http://www.halhigdon.com/marathon/Mar00novice.htm
I literally started running by running one min. walking one min and doing that as long as possible.
Have a great day. We can do it together!
Hello!! I just saw you on MzzLily's as one of her award-ees and had to peek to see what's going on in your blog world. WOW!!! I am so proud of you!! If you can stand another peep cheering you on....I'm here! Keep at it Chase. I know you can do this.
ReplyDeleteJesterrose: Thanks for the website, I'll have to check it out. I've pretty much done the same thing. I run for 5 minutes then walk for 3 then run for 5 and repeat as many times as I can...it's hard work, but it works lol.
