Training

So last week the rain kind of trampled on my buddy training day but we made up for it yesterday.  She's training for a half marathon happening in a couple of weeks so she's running further and longer than me but she was awesome motivation. 

Yesterday was my first 45 minute workout session. Well, 50 minutes if you count my five minute warm up.  Which I do because I'm walking pretty fast and it's calculating my mileage.  (Like I'm a car or something...only I get better with each mile.  Unlike a car. Heh.) I've gone 30 minutes before on the treadmill but this was new territory.  It went by super fast as well.  Talking will do that to you I suppose.  Time flies when you're having fun?

Anyway, my 50 minute workout ended with me running/walking 3.7 miles.  That means I'd easily finish a 5k in less than an hour.  Of course I'd like to run the whole thing but that's going to take a lot of work.  I'm still pretty out of shape but it's a goal.  And  I need all the goals I can take to keep me motivated. 

I'm not really seeing results on the scale but I'm noticing pants fitting a little looser.  Just barely but hey, noticing results also helps to keep me motivated.  Especially when you don't see results on a scale. 

I also know this is Thanksgiving week.  I tend to extremely over indulge on holiday meals.  I love the foods I typically eat only once a year.  With the exception of mashed potatoes.  I'd make a good little Irishwoman.  Yes I know they are not really good for me but I love potatoes.  However! Cauliflower mashed "potatoes" are almost as food with none of the starch. There's your tip of the day.  I may have mentioned it in a previous post but whatever.  I love turkey dipped in ranch dressing.  I love homemade chocolate pie (which I make myself), I love peas, and deviled eggs.  OOOH Deviled eggs! <3 .="." a="a" am="am" and="and" balance="balance" before="before" bought="bought" days="days" earlier="earlier" endure.="endure." few="few" for="for" forward="forward" fruits="fruits" going="going" help="help" i="i" is="is" it="it" juicing="juicing" ll="ll" looking="looking" m="m" nbsp="nbsp" obvious="obvious" of="of" or="or" p="p" paragraph="paragraph" point="point" pound="pound" reason.="reason." shed="shed" should="should" the="the" this:="this:" this="this" thursday="thursday" to="to" too.="too." train="train" try="try" two="two" veggies="veggies" week.="week." week="week" will="will" wreck="wreck">
Why do I love food soooo much???? (Espeically the bad stuff...)
