Wellness Wednesday
How has everyone been doing this week?
Re: Wellness Wednesday
My diet hasn't been the best, but I'm going to work on that this week (after my cheesecake lunch yesterday). I have been running regularly and loving it! So hopefully if the rains stays away and I get over this bug, that will continue.
On the financial health front, DH and I were able to cut our food budget by 1/3 last month! Our goal was 1/2, so we are hoping to achieve that this month. I think we'll be able to do it!
So far this week is going well for me. I officially started my half marathon training schedule this week and managed to run 4 miles outside in the blazing heat yesterday. I am trying to work out really hard every day this week b/c we are going to the lake this weekend and I will surely overindulge and skip my workouts.
Great job on the food budget! I hope your knee feels better soon.
I've reached the decision that for the time being, I'm going to let go of some of my expectations as far as exercise go. I've been running twice a week and sometimes getting in a 3'rd workout (typically some sort of video). It's not as much as I'd like to do, but I have a big test coming up at the end of October and am traveling a bit on the weekends too, so my focus is just elsewhere right now. On the plus side, I don't think I'm as much of a ragingbitch as the last time I was studying for a test, so I think that's a good reflection of the mental health benefit of my lowered expectations
I'm glad you've been enjoying your runs, Elissa, it will just get better as the weather improves!
