Sixty & Ninety Second Intervals

Over the past two weeks, the three of us ladies have been venturing out to Katy Trial to complete our Couch to 5K. While we have hit some hurdles including busy schedules and poor weather on some days, we've actually been pretty good and keeping up pace with the current schedule.

The program advises that for the first two weeks you do rotations of 60 & 90 second intervals where you mix 60 seconds of jogging and 90 seconds of walking and do this over the course of your work out.

We'll go about 3-4 miles per work out period.... and honestly we all feel pretty great!

I'll definitely keep you posted with more updates!

Katy Trail Day 1

Yesterday, a few ladies from work and I began day 1 of couch to 5K. We walked a total of 3 miles and jogged 1 mile. The path was such a perfect spot to complete this challenge!

On another note, Ray and I borrowed a copy of P90X from a sweet friend. I will also have to keep you up to date on the progress. I have been informed that P90X is beyond challenging to say the least. I guess we'll see how it goes. Only 44ish days left until the beach with the fam:)

Fill'n our Tummies w/ Easter Yummies!

This was an amazing weekend of post birthday celebrations, dinners out, a night on the town, and delicious Easter goodies! This was NOT; however, a good weekend for our waist lines.

After a night of recouping, Ray and I will be back on track for our usual workouts. About 50 days until Panama City Beach:)

Couch to 5K!

I am unsure if you have heard of this amazing program. It is called Couch to 5k!

The website provides, "C25K, is a fantastic program that's been designed to get just about anyone from the couch to running 5 kilometers or 30 minutes in just 9 weeks." It gives details about running schedules, podcasts, apps for your phone, and motivational information.

You gotta take a look!

Reaching Your Mt. Everest!

I think Miley said it best...

"The struggles im facing the chances im taking sometimes might knock me down but no im not breaking i may not know it but these are the moments that im gonna remember most yeah just gotta keep goin and i i got be strong gotta keep on pushin on cuz

There's always gonna be another mountain im always gonna wanna make it move always gonna be an uphill battle sometimes im gonna have to lose aint about how fast i get there aint about whats waitin on the other side its the climb"

I know in this picture... this "hill" might not seem like much, but for some reason I dreaded this part of the run more than anything. I never wanted to run up it... down... around... anything but up. The funny thing is that we all have our own "Mt. Everest" and even though they may not seem like much to others... it's something that we put off, dread doing, or we just let it stand in our way. But as the song says you gotta just keep pushing past all the fears and insecurities you may have because you are truly the biggest obstacle in your way!

Day 3:

Wednesday night I had determined there was no way I would actually get up first thing in the morning. Ray and I hit the snooze and agreed that when we returned home from work on Thursday that we would hit the gym running... and so we did. About 400 calories burned. I've continued to lift weights while walking/running. I only lift about 5 lbs each arm but after an hour it burns. Wednesday I could feel the burn, my back was completely sore and honestly the majority of my body ached... but after a good stretch Thursday before our work out I was ready to go.

Also on a side note... what would you suggest as good snacks before a run? I cannot eat a full dinner before but wanted to know what your thoughts were on healthy snacks to provide energy for a work out? I've tried celery and peanut butter which actually is super good... any other thoughts?

Memorial Day Sun Rays with Fam!

This Memorial Day weekend, I will be visiting my Zellner family in Panama City Beach Florida and I couldn't be more excited! To be honest, getting beach bod ready has ultimately been on my mind. I have about 64 days before I'll be strutting my bathing suit for the world to see and I'm thinking I'll be ready... My wonderful sister in law has been such an amazing motivator. I get daily updates of all that she has done! Thank you Mrs. Farrah Zellner for your continual love and support! I can't wait to see you guys! PCB here we come!
