Good question

My friend Erika commented on my last post asking if we were also exercising. Since she asked and both my boys are down for naps I thought I would fill you in on our exercise routines so far this year.

I decided I wanted to start running after I had Malcolm. I have never been good at it before but it seems like something you can enjoy once you get into it. I got a ten week program from a friend that slowly eases you and your muscles into running. There are two prep weeks of walking and then by the tenth week you are running for half an hour. I started the program and a face book group a few weeks ago. So I have my 30min of Running/Walking I do three times a week.

There is actually a 5k the weekend after my last week so my currant goal is to be able to run the 5k on March 6th. I want to build myself up to a half marathon that is my ultimate goal and why I started the program.

Next we have our ab workout we do on the days we are not running Tue, Thur, and Sat
Its just Steven and I doing a few exercises we have learned but Steven wont let me go to bed till we have done them.

and lastly I have an 8 min in the morning program that helps build lean muscle tissue.
That is Basically it plus all the stretching that goes with it and.

I know that is sounds like a lot we are doing here but it really isn't. Also I want to say that we are not doing these things as new years resolutions That will fade to the back of our minds and be forgotten. I started the running program after I had Malcolm and was giving the okay to exercise and I really want to be a runner for life. Then Steven and I were watching The Biggest Loser Finale (we are big fans) and I was amazed how people starting at 300 pounds could get down to weighing less than I do. So I asked Steven if I lost 50lbs if we could go on a cruse. We looked it up and I would be in my healthy weight range for my height and age so he said yes.
Who knows if we will go on a cruise but 50lbs is my currant goal. It all seemed to fall around the new year and my 25th birthday so I guess it is just that time in my life to make a change, So wish me luck because here I go!
