Motivational Monday

This is something that I need to keep in mind.

My First 5K

I did it. I signed up for my first 5K. I am both nervous and excited. I have wanted to do one for a long time, but obviously, I am not a runner. I tried C25K before and failed during week 3. I am currently on week 3 and feeling really good. I WILL push my body to do what I want it to do. I will run/jog that 5K and give it my all.

The race is on June 8th and I will be running with my friend, Tinese. According to the picture below, my Color Runner name is Sassy Sugar Socks and Tinese's is Glamorus Floating Bubbles. :)


If you've never heard of The Color Run, here is how the event works:

Less about your 10-minute-mile and more about having the time of your life, The Color Run is a five-kilometer, un-timed race in which thousands of participants, or “Color Runners”, are doused from head to toe in different colors at each kilometer. With only two rules, the idea is easy to follow:

1. Wear white at the starting line.

2. Finish plastered in color!
The fun continues after Color Runners complete the race with an unforgettable Finish Festival. This larger than life party is equipped with music, dancing and massive color throws, which create millions of vivid color combinations. Trust us, this is the best post-5k party on the planet!


 Tinese and I are super excited about this 5K. 62 days!!! Woot! Woot!

Weekly 2 Recap

Pounds Lost This Week: 2.0 lbs (8.6 lbs TOTAL)

Exercise: I exercised every single day this week (AGAIN)! That makes 2 weeks in a row! I haven't added in strength training yet. I'm not really sure when I'll do that! Right now I am focusing on training my body to be a runner. I just started week 3 of the C25K program today. This is the point that I quit last time I tried, so I am determined to make it this time! I love the way that running has transformed my body so far and I hope it continues to do so!


This week I:
Walked - 298 minutes
Ran - 39 minutes

Eating: I stayed between 1100-1500 every day this week (AGAIN)! :)

Weak Moments: I haven't had any week moments this week! I stayed STRONG!

Cravings: NONE! :)

Next Week's Goals: My goal last week was to lose 3 pounds, but I only lost 2 lbs week. I know that I am losing weight the healthy way, so I think my goal this week will be 2 lbs. I also still need to find the time for strength training. Time to cruise Pinterest for some ideas! :)

Start & 2 Weeks Later - Definitely starting to see a difference...especially in my face!
I hope everyone's having a great weekend and I hope you all have a fabulous week!!!
