Day 19 & 20

SUCCESS!
Yesterday I ran 1.4 miles and stopped by the church to do five 40 yard sprints in their parking lot. I  had gotten up at 6 like planned (the kid actually woke me 10 minutes till six). Today I woke at 6:30 and ran 2 miles! (well, I ran for 1 mile straight and walked/ran the rest), then back to the church parking lot for another five sprints.

Felicia and I followed up this morning with a small run to the farmer's market where I got some great produce for some corn salad and some chocolate basil for bruschetta.


 I plan on making the baguette myself. Everyday I seem to be eating better. Tonight will be dinner with the parents at La Baguette and with it great temptations.

I've also started working on fractions & decimals as part of my campaign to get better at math.

  1. Great work!

    Re the restaurant tonight, if you see this beforehand... saw a great quote at Norma's blog today:

    "Do Not Use Your Stomach As a Trash Can"

  2. Thank you. I didn't see this before going. Had a chicken pesto pizza with, interestingly enough, lettuce and tomato on top.

  4. J.R., I'm glad to hear you are doing well overall. The food from the farmer's market looks great! I wanted to make it to the farmer's market today, but I had yard work to get done before it got too hot, and while I had my son to help. You are doing a great job with the exercise.

  6. I keep forgetting about my town's little downtown marketplace with fruit and vegetables. This post reminded me I need to check it out! Great job on eating better and improving.

  7. Great job on the workout! A lot of people (even the "average sized" ones) can't run a mile straight, myself included. Stay focused and you will achieve whatever you put your mind to. Even if your body says no, your mind will say yes.
