| | I did the elliptical again today. I think I will do the elliptical tomorrow as well and then try running on Thursday. My calves are really sore from the Saturday elliptical workout. I can tell that different muscles are being used than in running. I also did a 60 minute P90X workout, core synergistics. I have taken two weeks off of P90X because my friend I do the workout with was out of town so I just ran more and then hurt my hip. It is good to get back to the P90X, but it was tough! I can tell I took a little time off. I have a goal to eat more fruits and vegetables. Really, if you are going to get the recommended servings you have to have a fruit or vegetable every meal and for snacks. I have only eaten an orange so far today but I am trying to be more conscious about increasing my intake.

| | I did the elliptical again this morning. My hip is feeling a lot better and I am going to try running on Thursday. Yesterday I jogged about two blocks to get my son from school and my hip didn't hurt at all so that is promising. I am excited to run on Thursday. |

| | I slept in this morning and it was wonderful! I was ready to do my P90X workout at 8:40 when my friend usually shows up. I waited, then made my bed, then got me kids dressed, then looked at birthday cakes for my daughter. I was wondering where she was when I realized at 8:55, I was supposed to go to her house this morning. It was pretty funny. So I called her and then got to her house quickly and we did the cardio workout from P90X. It was a good workout. Incidentally, I can feel that my hips are tired from the workout. Not sore but there was a lot of kicking front, side and back, and I can feel my hips are being worked. Hopefully that helps strengthen my hip.

| | I ran 3 easy slow miles on the treadmill this morning. My hip hurt a bit when I woke up but I stretched it before I ran, after I ran and iced. It didn't hurt at all while I was running so hopefully it is getting better. It is really cold outside this morning and there is a it of snow on the ground. Yesterday Carolyn gave me some Yaktraks for my birthday, I wanted to try them out but my neighbor likes running indoors when it is cold and snowy. I am sure I will find a time soon to use them. I got a nice birthday surprise this morning. When I came home from running there was a cake in the oven that my husband made before he went to work. We call it yellow cake and eat it for breakfast. I love it warm with milk poured on top. I am going to go enjoy a piece now(maybe two.)

| | This morning my friend I do P90X with called and canceled. It is always a hard moment when I realize I am on my own to motivate myself to complete the whole workout. I still did the planned workout so I am happy about that. It was an hour and fifteen minutes of shoulders, arms, and abs. I prefer cardio to strength training so it is really good for me to get strength training in. I don't really enjoy it, but now it is done. My kids did the cool down with me and my oldest commented that he was doing a really good job with the exercises. I like to see them try and exercise with me.

| | It was nice to get a longer run in today after taking the last two weeks a bit easy. I ran with Carolyn and Michelle today. We ran a route I had done once before that wanders quite a bit through some neighborhoods. I was glad that I remembered the route from the last time I ran it. The terrain was a little difficult in a few spots with some snow and ice covered sidewalks and a short distance on a gravel path that was covered with frozen snow. Luckily no one got hurt. I slipped one time but didn't fall. It turned out to be a nice run with a bit warmer temperatures than expected, and great conversation. Thanks for running with us Carolyn, I always enjoy Saturday morning runs. When I got home my family was leaving to go buy Krispie Kreme doughnuts. My husband, Ben, loves to take the kids out and buy doughnuts on Saturday mornings. I kind of have a love/hate relationship with that habit because I love doughnuts but, I hate starting my morning with so much fat and sugar. I also hate the fact that I can't just eat one, doughnuts call to me and I must eat more and more:) |
