Well, Alrighty then!

Hello beautiful people!!

Ok, so I was asked this morning how come I hadn't blogged in like 2 1/2 weeks.  I said that I figured that nobody was reading it, since nobody commented.  I was informed that there were "lurkers" (LOL) out there that were reading it, but not commenting!  SO---I will start blogging again for all you lurkers out there!
Thanks for your support!  Please feel free to comment at any time, too.  Makes me think that I'm not writing to empty cyberspace!

I have started running.....I have found that my body is much too accustomed to any form of low impact cardio, like the elliptical and walking on the treadmill.  So, I have started training for a 5k (target date on this race is 7/17/10 - let me know if you're interested in running it with me!) by running.  Actually, it's more like a very slow jog, but it's not walking.  My oldest daughter is doing club cross-country running this spring, so I figured there was no better time to jump on the running band wagon. 

I started out last week, doing a 30 min run, and I alternated 1 min of jogging with 1 min of walking.  This week, I decided that it would be better for me to just run continuously, but at slower, consistent pace.  I jogged today on my lunch hour for 30 minutes and only walked for 2.5 min of time total!  Woo Hoo!   Heart Rate averaged about 151 for the 30 min.

One of my goals for the year was to run a 5k in less than 45 min (which is my best time---really.)  I know that it's SLOW, but you hafta start somewhere, right?

Nutrtion is good today, I'm on pace for my 1600 cal goal.    With 1 meal left for the day, my ratios are as follows:
Carbs-50%
Protein-35%
Fat-15%

Will probably have some chicken breast and a veggie tonight to round out the day. 
Have a great day!!
