Be the Change

another week or so gone by

Haven't written in a while again...

My latest obsession: Running! I'm on the third week of the Couch to 5k Program, and I'm loving it! Now, I'm trying to find good running shoes, something that's proving to be complicated... I've decided that I'm an overpronator (my foot rolls along the outside edge while I'm running) and that I have a medium arch. So I need cushioned, stability running shoes. I'm off to check local shops today.

I've been going off my diet a little lately... I'm not worried about it. As long as I stay within 100-105, I'm happy. I'm also not exercising as much as I'd like... I need to average 42 minutes per day to reach my 1200 goal, but lately I've only been doing about 20 minutes per day. Oh well, I'm still exercising, right?

It doesn't help that my resistance band started tearing, so I started using a new one (Gold's Gym Resistance Tube), and it feels like a lot more resistance than my old one. Shoulder presses hurt! So I've been more sore lately. Also had to get a high-impact sports bra for running because my chest muscles (pectorals, right?) were hurting after W3D1 run.

Off to do some shopping! That's exercise!
