Happy Monday!!!

Hey guys!

So it’s Monday! The weekends seem to go by so freakin fast!

Well I wanted to drop in and give you guys a quick run down of what I’ve been up to over the weekend.

On Friday, I did get up that morning and work out before going to work. Yay me! High 5!!! Pat on the back! LOL!

So what did my workout consist of?
I did 45 minutes of interval training on the treadmill. I did about 3.5 miles in 45 minutes and that included alternating between brisk walking and full out running. I want to get that up to 4 miles in 45 minutes, but that will require more running and less walking. So I’ll wait on that! LOL!
I also worked out my abs, arms and even did a little stretching.

Saturday I ran 3 miles. I was very tired that morning and I didn’t really have any energy. I was supposed to run about 6 miles with the group that day but my new ear buds kept coming out of my ears and there was no way I was about to do 6 miles w/o music. Especially since I already wasn’t feeling too good; so I cut that run in half! LOL!

After my run I got a much needed massage! It was great! You guys should treat yourself to a massage every once in awhile!

So after I left there I went to Breakaway Running and got me new pair of running shoes! Yayyy me! And they are cute too! My last pair were not as cute as these, so I was happy that they had an option that I actually like!

That pretty much sums up my weekend! I plan to get at least 3 good workouts in this week, I’m hoping for 4, but we’ll see how it goes! Tues, Wed, Fri and Sat!!!

What goals have you set for yourself this week?

Talk to you guys soon,
L

I'm Backkkkkkkkkkkkkk!!!

Hey Guys!

I know! I know!!! It’s been awhile (a little over 7 months to be exact) but I wanted to try and get back into the groove of things! Especially since spring is right around the corner! My last post was made the day before my birthday last year! SMH!

Well to say the least, the skinny fat girl still rings true! I just LOVE LOVE LOVE to eat food.

Since my last post quite a few things have occurred! So I’ll give you the highlights!

I ran my first half-marathon in December. Woop Woop!!! Never in a million years did I think 1.) I’d ever be a runner and 2.) That I would ever be able to run 13.1 miles.
FYI: That was the 1st time I ran that long of a distance! J
I completed the half marathon in 2:31:41 which isn’t too bad for a newbie!
I tried to come in under 2:30, but hey I’ll take that!

I have also joined the natural hair movement! My last relaxer was on my birthday of last year and I ended up chopping the rest of my relaxer out in December.
So I’m sporting a TWA (teeny weeny afro) which is very conducive to me working out!

So within the past couple of months I have completely fallen off with my workout routine, but I plan to get back on track soon! I still workout with my friend Tichina. I call her a crack head when it comes to working out. LOL! She is more discipline when it comes to her eating habits and working out than I will ever be! So it’s great to be around someone who is really into their health and fitness. I’m sure eventually her habits will rub off on me, well I sure do hope so! LOL!

Well that’s all for now! I plan to workout tomorrow and Saturday. My last workout was on this past Saturday and the workout prior to that was over 2 weeks before!
I know! I need to get it together! I’ll grab some fruit tonight on my way home.
Were having cake and ice cream at work today to celebrate the February birthdays, so OF COURSE I will partake in the festivities! J I’ll be back soon w/ more confessions!

Later,
L
