challenge: day 5-9

SORRY IN ADVANCE -- IT'S LONG.

so... the first week of the challenge went by with flying colors! my mom drank pop & had a punishment...so instead of 4 1/2 hour walks...she had to do a 1/2 hour walk every single night...she still drank pop 2 other times & tried to laughingly blame it on someone else... oh mom, you can't fool me! :)
my sister lynds did good, except instead of walking 4 nights, she put the 2 hours of walking into 1 or 2 nights...and me...WHAT, WHAT? i win. i passed with flying colors, as i said. 

THIS WEEK'S CHALLENGE is given by lynds...here it is... 3 1/2 hour walks/runs...10 minutes of stretching before each one...only 1 sweet per day...veggies before EVERY lunch & dinner.... OOOOH. i usually stretch, but not 10 minutes... so today when i did it, i convinced myself i could tell a difference in my run! i actually think i did! it's not hard for me to eat veggies...at all...but making a conscience choice to every meal is hard. i guess i just don't think about it. to make things easier, pretty much all i'm eating is veggies...that way i won't forget & won't loose the challenge! i've pretty much cut out sweets & pop...for now! FOR NOW.

here's a recap of the last 5 days!

today was a BIG day of eating & fun. i was feeling just fine again, which was great...and had my sister's baby shower. yes, lots of food. i did...eh.

weight & measurements: i weighed myself, but didn't put much stock in it...because it's a different scale (at my mother-in-law's) & i like MY scale...lol, sounds dumb, but whatever. plus, it's the weekend. and i was away...and i just didn't, okay?! :)

after day 7 (going 4 miles), i found out my shorts were apparently TOO short...they were VS Pink ones...ummm, my thighs weren't having it & MAJOR CHAFFING happened, people. ouch. ouch is RIGHT. not doing that again. i waddled home like a penguin...and i woulda ran MORE, but it hurt too bad. so, i got out my cooly-dooly biker shorts to run in tonight! no more chafing! BOOYAH.


$10 or $14 at wal-mart last year...i'm going to look for more. maybe tjmaxx...cheapies...i'm cheap.

  1. Well look at you, bein' all healthy! Congrats! First, have you heard of the LoseIt app or the MyFitnessPal app? You can track calories and it's free! Also, spinach... It's the best. I put it in/on a LOT of food to get my veggies. Grilled cheese, in my eggs in the morning. It's grand!
