Lost 3 Pounds!

Last night I drank a wee bit too much at a party, but stayed in my calories food-wise. Still, I’m running an extra mile today and drinking lots of water because alcohol has been known to dehydrate me and bloat me up, yuck. good news, I lost 3 pounds since Monday! going low salt is the key for me, for sure. That and running. I feel I am losing both excess water and actual fat.

30 minutes yoga
30 minutes brisk walking
2 mile run
Drink 120 oz water
One serving low salt meals, no seconds
Raw veggies and/or air-popped popcorn for snacks
Fruit for dessert
Brush & floss after every meal
Today’s weigh-in: 161 pounds
Goal Weight: 130 pounds

Preparing to Race

I’m going to run in the Cleveland Marathon 5k run on Saturday…planned to do the half-marathon, then the 10k, but I’m not really ready for either. Baby steps back into running, for me. A 5k run is only 3.1 miles, so it will be an ok run, not strenuous at all. I’m not ready for strenuous or stressful either physically or mentally. It starts at 7:30am this coming Saturday. I’ll be done at 8:10, LOL, that is seriously how slow I run these days. I was thinking then on Sunday maybe going down to watch the full, half, and 10k races, see how the runners in those are doing.

Marathon Mommy!

I just discovered Marathon Mommy, a blog about mothers who run marathons. I’m so excited to come across this blog, because as you know I’m a mama and I like to run and this year I’m doing the Cleveland Rite Aid marathon. The last post asked, Why do you run? Well I run because:

-it is fun
-it makes me feel good
-it makes me breathe deeper
-it releases stress
-it’s free
-it increases my metabolism
-it helps me lose weight
-it makes me think better; clearer
