Run, Forrest, Run

AAAHHH!!!  I ran for the first time in over a year today and I feel A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!!

I started my day with a good, healthy breakfast of 1/2 cup hash browns sauteed with mushrooms and 2 eggs, some strawberries and grapes.


That held me over for about 4 hours until I had a salad very similar to last night.

Today's salad had less bacon {boo!}
I MAY have also indulged in a very rare midday treat:

Leftover Nutella from a baking project

It's not every week that I can enjoy such a sweet treat on a Tuesday afternoon!

The whole morning/early afternoon I did laundry and sat on my butt watching Hart of Dixie and Biggest Loser.


I was BORED out of my mind.

So I knew what I had to do.

Get up.

Get out.

And GOOOO!!

I planned on walking my normal mile route, but something inside of me wanted more.  So I went with it.  And probably freaked Sasha out...poor dog didn't know what she had gotten herself into.

Out of my mile, I probably jogged half of it total.  Yay!

Then I came home and did strength training for 15 minutes.

I cannot say loud enough how proud I am of myself!!  Not only did I feel a fire inside of me to do something active, but that fire pushed me to do something I was uncomfortable with.

Watch out world, here I come!!

Feeling good after my workout, yo!


I'll leave with pictures of Sasha pre AND post walk...I do not think she has moved in the hour we've been home!

  1. That's awesome!! I wish my back would let me run more, and I wish my dog would run with me! He probably wouldn't last very long! :)

  2. Congrats on your jog! Your puppy is so cute. My dogs do the same thing after a nice run. I love it.
