I should probably check my temp to see if I have a fever... lol. It's Monday and I'm totally excited about the new week. My homework is finished and I'm prepared for my classes. My running is going great and rather than feeling like I'm having a heart attack after, I feel like I can do anything. I even managed to catch up on things around the house this weekend. Usually when Monday comes I feel like I have to go from first gear to fourth... but this week, I'm on top of things and ready for it. I'm working on not only dropping a few extra pounds but more so a healthier lifestyle. Mine, compared to most, really isn't horrible but I know I can do so much better for myself and my family. I've been sort of neglectful of personal health and wellness since we've gotten the house earlier this year... Guess, I've been more concerned with the house's wellness and let mine sit idle. No more of that... I want to help myself so that I am better to help others...

I had more carbs this week than I really care to... I will keep a better eye on that for the coming week. I just really have a bad habit of getting my calories from carbs, rather than a variety. It's not that I'm overeating or really even that I'm eating junk... Just too many damn carbs. I felt like I worked my butt off in my workouts this week and I haven't lost actual weight, but I do see a difference in my figure. I'm slimmer and my legs and butt are more toned... So long as I look better and am more in shape, I suppose that my weight doesn't matter. Though I would love to weigh less in consideration of my weight-class for Competitive Trail Riding. If my body really seems to favor my current weight and I am in really good shape, I suppose I could just look into a lighter saddle... Hmmm? I guess thats food for thought or a "Plan B" anyway. As for now I'm going to continue trying to lose and keep working hard, I'll see where it takes me.

First day of fall semester today... Totally excited about it! Great professors for the two classes I had today, the rest is still to be discovered. Totally, set myself up for failure today... Left the house in a hurry, without breakfast or snacks... Yicks, I thought I was going to die! But I seriously refuse to let myself get food from a vending machine and didn't have time for lunch between classes so I went until about 4pm until I finally got nurishment... I had to stop into the market to pick up some household items and grabbed Clif bars. I ate one on the way home and have a few for the rest of the week. I also grabbed some peaches and 100cal packs of almonds. When I got home, I had about a half of a cantalope. So even though I suffered it out, I set myself up to over eat and I know that. When you are hungry all day, you will tend to overload at night. Whew... That was close and never again will I be caught with out snacks!

Today's a "run day"... I so look forward to it. I'm not sure that I have ever looked forward to a workout the way that I do with this program. For me, it's not so much a workout as it is a challenge that I am going to win! Once I complete each workout, I feel amazing... My heart is pounding, my respiration is up, my legs feel like noodles and I feel great! My only bummer is that the hubby wants to go with so I have to wait until he gets home from work. Running in the evening is so different from the morning runs. Living in the desert, its still around 100 degrees when we take off at 6pm.

Fall semester is back in session on Monday and I am uber excited. Summer always seems so long and there's only so much of doing nothing I can take. My goals for this fall are big and I believe that completing this program will give me a sense of accomplishment and the momentum that I need to tackle them.

Running does seem to have given me an insatiable hunger that I really need to get a grip on or rather than losing weight, I'm going to bulk up (in a girly sense, of course). Today I'm headed to the market to buy as much fruit as I can stand so that if I feel hungry when it's not time, I can just binge on that.

I have been running using the "couch to 5k" program and doing rather well. It feels great to being exercising on a regular basis again. My husband and I had moved into a ranch back in April. I love our new home but its remote location is not the most convienent for getting to a gym. These back, dirt roads are great terrain for running. The incline varies from road to road and some have deep sand. The interval training used in this program is wonderful, I only hoped I had known about it sooner... I have an old knee injury which in the past has prevented me from running yet I've been doing this program for a week and a half pain-free. It just seems to work. What beats all is that even the hubby joins me! I hope to lose about 10 more pounds. I always looked great at 135lbs. I've cut grain carbs from my evenings. This not only seems to help me lose weight, but helps me sleep more sound. I am anxious for the fall semester to start so that I won't be sitting around quit as much.
