Working out is going ok, but eating wise I finally feel that I have balanced out pretty well. It's so nice to not feel so tempted by my usual favorite snacks. Also I have found that I love my spinach salad I have for lunch on most days. I even feel like I had a little treat when I have just loaded up on tons of veggies, what could be better?

One major frustration is that I lost my Ucard, which is my student ID that I need to work out at the field house. I went to get a new one the other day and they wouldn't give me one because I am not currently enrolled as a student. I need to call them and see what the field house can do for me, since I paid 30 for the membership this semester. But I did got for a run yesterday around here, it has been such nice weather and it was nice to be out for a little bit. Also I am getting obsessed with baby carriers, I have sewn 3 different kinds in the last two days so hopefully by wearing Gideon around more will help shed some extra pounds!

Weekends are hard!

Well it's back to routine. Last week was hard because we had company, and then weekends are always a struggle for me. The bad thing is I haven't lost any weight, the good thing is that I haven't gained! I took the two little boys on a walk this morning, had a fruit smoothie for breakfast, and a salad for lunch. Our ward is playing basketball for fun tonight at 8 (girls only) and I will probably go as long as I get a run in at the gym first.

Two down

Well I have two workouts down! On Tuesday I ran/walked for 35 mins and then did 25 on the elliptical and yesterday I ran/walked for 35 mins. Eating has been going ok. Yesterday I only really had time for lunch and a snack for dinner before my workout. I don't think that is enough too keep up my nursing because Gideon is eating for a really long time and often. I guess it's time for breakfast ;)

One bad thing is I got a blister and some chaffing from the 3 sport bras I need to wear. I think I'm going to take it easy today and clean the house, do a pillates video and play church-ball tonight. I am starting to not miss the sweets though so that is good. Here's to salads!

Old Fieldhouse

Well this past weekend has not been very good on my body. We had family in town for Gideon's blessing and while I have tried to eat well it has not gone as well as I planned. I went up a couple of pounds, but in that I lost about 4 last week I'm still overall losing. It has been hard to work out inside every day with the two little boys, and too cold and dark to go out outside, so today I am going to get a membership at the fieldhouse. For those of you not familiar with the U the fieldhouse is a gym on campus that students can use for free, but spouses of students, and students who were enrolled the previous semester can pay $30 and work out for the semester. It's a pretty good deal and I plan on spending about 30 mins on the treadmill and 30 on the elliptical tonight. It will feel so good to get moving!

Another bonus is that I'll be able to start using the ipod Adam got me for Christmas more regularly.

I also started a new ticker. I find that I log quite a few miles, but don't keep track of them. So I thought of a cool place that is pretty far away (Seattle) and I will log my miles by having them count the distance. So hopefully sometime in the next year (or two) I will be there!

March 15th

I set a goal. I am going to run a 5k in March, on the 15th to be exact. It is the Leprechaun Lope at Memory Grove and the State Capital. We used to live behind the capital and I ran up there all the time. I love it, I"m just hoping that they are running the lope so it's mostly downhill rather than climbing the whole time. Either way I'm in. Now if it would start drying up so I can go for a run. . .

Let me know if you want to join in, it's always fun to run them with friends!
