One of my New Years Resolutions should be linking up regularly with the lovely Ashley over at The Domestic Wannabe and her Move It Monday.
Ever feel like you are shooting yourself in the foot? I am working my batooty off running/workout wise. I have been running three times a week. I have been doing weights 2-3 times a week as well. So- you would think that I would be seeing positive changes right?
Well... the diet has been lacking. I have to say that I am much more aware of what I am putting in my body. Whereas in the past- there was little thought. I had sort of checked out. Now I think more. I may still make bad decisions (which has been my issue lately) but at least I am aware.
I am working on that now. I am on day 2 of tracking again with WW. That really helped me last spring.
Speaking of Spring... I cannot wait for it to arrive. I love love love running outside. I am simply too much of a wimp to run outside here during winter. Our high lately has been 39. There is snow and ice on the ground and it is dark until 8am. So- these are all excuses really. I have instead been trekking the 20 minutes to the gym on post. It has been fun cause I have been running with two girlfriends. So it makes it a lot easier to do! But when spring comes- I will be back outside and adding up the mileage.
I am looking at signing up for a 10k in May here in Ansbach. I am also eagerly awaiting the registration to open for the CIM 2012 on March 1. I cannot wait to sign up! I think we are talking about 2 teams of runners and my BFF Ande and I doing the second half together. It would be my longest run (by 5.5 miles) but it is a lot easier than the section I did this last year. It was 7.7 but ALL hills. Tough. This one is flatter. Plus we could do it together and cross the finish line together at the Capital! That would be awesome.
So- my plan this week- keep up my workouts. Get my diet under control. Track my points for the next week straight. One day at a time.

Thank you for the positive encouragement, I sure needed to see that! :) I'm lucky I live in a warm climate so I can run outdoors right now, but come summertime I will be keeping it inside on the treadmill as well. It will be way too hot during the day to take it outside. It makes me nervous training on a treadmill though, I feel like it's much easier than running on the pavement so I feel like I might be setting myself up for failure come June for my 1/2 marathon. Maybe doing at least 1 of my 3 runs outside should do the trick, like my long run? Good luck and great job on how much you are running and strength training! :)
I love that you know what you are doing. Calorie counting (and WW points tacking, I'm sure) are time consuming and annoying but they have helped me more than you know!
Good luck to you!
