Update

Well, January is just moving right along, isn't it?

I have moved to a new office, got a new keyboard for my computer, (no more pounding the keys to make them work), and am now ready to blog.

I have been doing very well with my workouts this month.  My eating has been fairly good... but I have allowed myself a few indulgences.  My favorite is Dove Dark chocolate bars.  They are so small, and so good!  And dark chocolate has flavanols, so it's actually healthy, right!  I guess it's better than the alternative of hitting the vending machines at work and getting a Take 5 or a Twix or something, right??

Today is my rest day and I am soooooo happy about that.  Yesterday I ran 5 miles and did some weight work, so my body is telling me that it is DEFINITELY a rest day.  Tomorrow is my long run... 8.5 miles this week.  Fortunately, it is not supposed to be ultra-cold tomorrow morning.  I am not that crazy about heading out in the freezing cold... especially when wind is involved.

I hope that everyone is doing well and having a good month of healthy eating and awesome exercise.

Be Blessed

GO SUNS!!!

Hi, Becki!

I remember seeing in one of your previous posts that you are a Suns fan.  Aren't they awesome?  My husband got a good bonus last year and decided to splurge and get Suns season tickets.  We are having a ball going to the games.  They have been scaring me to death lately, though.  You never know how they are going to come out playing.  Did you see the Suns/Cavs game?  Now, that game the Suns came out to PLAY!  I just love Steve Nash and Shawn Marion.  And LB is always a treat to watch.  Beep Beep!  Whenever he makes a fast-break basket, they call out his name and use the cartoon road runner "beep beep" sound.  Dallas will be the formidable foe this year.  I think the Suns are up to the challenge, though!

You are doing great on your weight loss!  I envy you and all the miles you run.  I have attempted to do the "Couch Potato to 5 K" program, but I can't seem to stick with it.  I do love the FIRM videos, though!  I've lost 20 lbs so far, but it is very slow going.  I have a new resolve this week, so I'm doing much better!

Keep up the good work!
