Ok, so here's what's been going on.
I have hit a bit of a road block for various reasons...I didn't have a whole lot of time this past week to work my training in because we were going out of town on Thursday to spend time with Hubby's family & some of our friends. BUT, up to Thursday of last week I was tracking my food!!
While, at my in-laws though, I have a tendancy to not get on the computer...I need to change that. So, that being said, I have not tracked my food since Thursday...& I really haven't watched what I've been eating...it's kinda hard when you don't have control of how things are cooked. I did just try to make the best decisions with what I had in front of me, but breakfast was harder than other meals. I haven't weighed myself, but I'm pretty sure I haven't lost weight...just hoping I haven't gained either.
Also, Friday, JHubby had another round of Steroid Injections for his neck. That usually wreaks havoc on him for a couple of days, & then the hope is that it will give him some long-term relief. He was in pretty bad shape this weekend. And to add insult to injury, I started having neck issues Friday, and am still dealing with it, though its much more manageable right now.
CJ was SO incredibly moody...2yr molars coming in...plus don't think she was too keen in sleeping in her pack-n-play since she's in a twin bed at home. She kept us up almost every night & was even having trouble with her naps...and she was VERY attached to me...
As much as I enjoyed spending the time with the in-laws, it was very stressful because of these factors, and I was very happy to be home yesterday with all of us sleeping in our own beds!
So, all these factors derailed me quite a bit.
BUT, today we are getting back on track. I have caught up on some much needed sleep, tracked my food so far, & I'm hoping, since my neck is feeling a bit better, that I might be able to get a run in today, but if not, then definitely tomorrow. Either way though, I will do 30min of exercise today.
My MIL paid for my registration for The Nun Run, so I am definitely doing that & I want to get moving on it so I can get thru the run in just a few short weeks. So, the next time I run, I am just gonna turn my ipod on, do a 5min warm up walk, & then just start running for as long as I can. Then I will do a 5min cool down walk. (or I might walk for just a min or 2 & then run again.) But, I wanna see what I can do. Then however long I can run, I will compare it to C25K training, & go to that week. I just don't have time to get all 9wks in before the run, so I need to move a little quicker right now. I will see how it goes & blog about it...

Dear God,
This past week has been really hard. Please give us all the strength to continue to get through the things that we are dealing with. Please help J & me to keep a positive attitude while we are both in pain. I pray that You provide both of us long-term relief & that You guide us to the paths that will help make that possible & give us the strength to follow those paths. Thank You for the AMAZING people You continue to put in my path that help me along my path. They help me in so many ways, & I know that they are Your angels here on Earth to help us in our daily lives, & they do every day. I pray that You give me opportunities to Pay It Forward, & that You help me to recognize those moments so that I can help do Your will. AMEN
