MEASURING UP PART V

I can't believe that it is June already.   The months are flying by, but the pounds are not.   I knew it would come to the point that the weight loss would come off much slower.  That time as definitely came.  I have been back on track for a couple weeks now and have exercised every day.  I'm taking tomorrow off and then going back to the exercising 6 days and taking off Sundays.  I'm also not losing inches as fast, but I feel wonderful.   I love, love, love, that I know that I can jog 3.5 miles now.  I think I could even go 4, but I usually don't have time.

Today's Recipe: "Parmesan Crusted Baked Pork Chop"  I would normally fry this up in olive oil.  I found baking it is just as awesome and much healthier.  200 calories.

I DID IT!

I have been walking & jogging for a about three months now.  I get up at 5 am to walk or jog.  I do this because I start watching babies at 6:45.  If I wait until they leave, I've cleaned house and made dinner, the last thing I want to do is exercise.  I am training to jog/run a 5k this Labor Day weekend.  I was excited when I finally could jog a mile straight, but really had my doubts that I could jog much further.  I figured that I would jog a mile of it and walk the rest.  Three days ago I decided that I would jog until I couldn't jog no more.  At one point (about 2 miles), I thought I would have to quite, but I kept going.  I found out you get a second wind.  When I finally stopped I looked at my trusty little "pedometer app" only to find out I jogged exactly 3.2 miles.  I DID IT!   I jogged a 5k.   Yesterday I jogged 3.5 miles.  Maybe I'll get up to 4 miles before the summer is over.   Now I will have to tell you that my time is not pretty.  It took me 40 minutes to jog the 5k.   Maybe that's what I need to work on next, moving just a tad bit faster.  I am still in disbelief that this person who couldn't jog the length of her front yard (150 ft) just a few short months ago, jogged a 5k.

Todays Recipe: "Baked Cod Sandwich with Mango Salsa"  I could eat this every week.
