I'm doing it, Dang It!

Last week was a great week. I went running a couple days on my lunch break then my calves started hurting way too much to continue with that, so I made myself at least go walking every day. I also watched my diet better, I didn't eat any junk until the weekend.

For dessert on Sunday I made dark chocolate zucchini brownies. They were okay, I've had better so will probably not use that recipe again.

And Yesterday I started with the running on my lunch break again. My calves are really tight, but I'm going to keep it up and try to run every day on my lunch break this week.

Last week was Great!

So I've started going running on my lunch break as I have mentioned. And last week I went running at least 3 times. and walking at least 1. Friday I gave myself a break. Which I probably shouldn't have, since it lead me to doing nothing on the weekend. But that's beside the point.
I ran a mile. 1 mile straight from start to finish. I can't tell you how proud of myself that I did that. It wasn't fast or graceful, but I did it and I'm really happy. I haven't been able to run a mile in years. I'm going to try to keep it up this week and maybe I can go longer. We'll see.

Good Job, Me!

I'm patting myself on the back today. I actually went running on my lunch break. And when I say running, it means more like jogging with some walking. I am not a runner, never have been. I wish I was, I wish I liked running. I don't. I find it to be one of the most boring ways to workout every. My brother loves running, he runs marathons for fun. Freak. Just kidding, I have a lot of respect for that guy.

Anyways, back to me, I think I ran a total of a half mile. I've measured before that around the block I work at is almost exactly a mile. I ran about half of it. Also, aside from that, today is day 2 that I have done my 4 minute workout. I wrote about it here. I'm feeling pretty good about myself.

I also started my meditation class yesterday. The teacher talked about setting an intention. Hers was faith. Usually the intention set is one word. I think mine will be action. I don't want to be a lazy couch potato, I want to get up and do things. I want to live in a clean apartment that isn't cluttered all the time by junk not put away. I don't need to leave 5 pairs of shoes out on the floor in the living room. You get the idea. I want to be the person that takes action. Something needs to be done, I want to go do it. I think I'm on the right track.
