How has everyone been doing?
I finished week 3 of C210K and start week 4 tonight. I have been really struggling with my breathing while running, so it has been tough, but I am determined to push through since I do miss running. I skipped the last two days of my other work outs, but overall have been doing good. I usually hate working out at home, but what motivates me to do it is how little time it takes, so it has been easier to stick to than I thought.
On the downside, the 4th really threw a wrench in my eating. I have been slacking since. On the upside, I hit 1 month of packing my lunch every day! This is big for me since I can't even remember the last time I packed my lunch once a week (if I ever even did that). Of course, I celebrated by forgetting my lunch and snacks today, LOL.
Re: Fitness Post
Good job at packing the lunch. I can be bad about that. Or pack and then do not want what I packed and run out for something.
I joined WW 2 weeks ago. Did pretty good except we keep having these parties. ALthough this lat grad party the food was horrible!! So didn't waste many points.
I ordered new sneakers and am ready to start running too. Now back to work, I am hoping to get us in some sort of routine (as much as you can with a 10 week old) and either run/walk outside or get the treadmill set up again. I got a cold late last week, so I could barely breathe and didn't even attempt to exercise. I know I feel a million times better when exercising. I need to just sign up for a 5K to get me motivated!!
Now to survive the little picnic we are having at the house saturday after Julia's baptism. Ha. I know the food will be good at this one. Ha.
They've improved with rest and my doc recommended getting heel cups for my shoes and not wearing flats anymore to work. I thought I was doing my feet a favor with the flats.
A typical workday, even with chores and cooking dinner is only 3,000-3,500 steps, so it takes more than just a quick evening walk to get there.
I've been going to 2 Zumba classes a week but haven't been able to get in a 3rd class. I want to do Saturday morning but seems something always comes up Saturday. I took Monday off and really planned on going to a class that morning but I ended up getting a stomach bug or something Sunday overnight! Ugh!!
Anyways, now that tball is over I've been trying to get dd to go on a bike ride so I can get in somewhat of a jog with her. And then trying to get another run on my own at some point. But I am getting annoyed because lately I keep getting side stitches. Otherwise I feel great running but have to take breaks because of my side! I don't understand why sometimes they are so bad!

You ladies are all so dedicated - I applaud you, struggles and all!
The most exercise I get is walking up the stairs a few times a day. Hardly enough. Thankfully my weight has stayed the same since I started working remote almost a year ago, but I know I'm more fluffy than I should be.
After lunch yesterday, the older boys wanted to bike ride around our new neighborhood. Since there are no sidewalks, and I'm not that familiar with the traffic patterns yet, I ended up leashing up the dog and walking with them It felt good to do. It was probably only a half mile, but if I can get in the habit of doing the loop twice every weekday with them, it can only benefit me!
