i workout

well, since i've been slacking on my fitness blog (oops) i guess i'll just keep you in the loop here.
as some of you know (from previous posts) i decided to run a half marathon.

i am currently 20 weeks away from race day and i am feeling great.
tonight i went running alone, which is something i love.
i love to just run and have time to think (and jam out to rock music)
i ran for 3 miles straight.
no stopping.
no slowing down.
no breaks.
about 13 minutes into my run the sweat commenced and that was that. (waterworks)
(sorry if that's ultra nasty TMI to the max, but whatevs)
i finished strong and was running at 5.7 on the treadmill (give me a break, you runners out there)
i felt great and tonight i am feeling so energetic and pumped.

i came home and grilled some chicken.
cooked some broccoli, carrots, and onions.
my dinner was delish.

there's something about being in healthy habits that makes me so happy.
i just feel healthier and happier.
oh, and this is one of my proud moments...i've lost 10 lbs. thus far!

yippee!  i am so happy about that.  my jeans are starting to sag a little bit, but it's ok.
my goal was to drop 30 lbs overall, not necessarily for the weight issue, but i realized that being 'lighter' would make it easier for me to run the half marathon.

and let me tell you.  watching my caloric intake, running, weight lifting (toning), and using myfitnesspal.com really does WONDERS.

i might start posting my "progress" photos (if i'm brave enough) because i am just feeling so good y'all...but i am thinkin' it might scare the children
(or gross your babies out if you're preggo - again, thanks GLEE for the reference)
