I've got to get better!

I used to post more often, but this new job has had me wiped out these past two weeks!!! I'm happy to have it though!!!

I'm still at 179.. so I guess that's ok. At least I didn't gain. I've been doing ok with my workouts. Although I did change one thing last week. I've been getting up in the morning to do a tape before getting ready for work. It was hard, but I only got back in the bed one day this week ( hey, a girl loves her sleep)!

Couch 2 5k progress
So I repeated week 5 this past week, because I could not seem to make it to the Day 2 and 3 runs. I kept running the week 5 day 1 run each day. But not today!!!! I completed the day 2 run! I think I might do it again tomorrow. Then Monday (crossing fingers)... it will be a 20 minute run. I can do this.

Oh yeah!! Guess what I did when I hit the 8 minute mark? You got it, my famous watery eyes!! But not just one tear or two... I was straight bawling. My husband, who ran with me, kept giving me high fives and thumbs up... saying " I knew you could do it!" He's so sweet!

Speaking of sweets...
My husband brought a coconut cake into the house early last week. I've been sneaking tiny slices of it each day. I know, horrible decision.. but it was good! But, he caught me today!!! He felt so bad! Poor guy. Then he ate the rest so I couldn't have anymore. Gotta love his metabolism!!

Hmmm... maybe that's why the scale didn't move this week!!!

Have a great one you guys!!!

Coconut cake, oh gosh! That DOES sound good :-) I like your attitude- getting sound mentally and physically before you have children: I wish the rest of the world would be so smart!
Best wishes in your journey. I will keep checking back to see your progress!
