Before After

I ran... I ran! =)

I ran... I ran!

 

Yes sir!  I ran! 

At the gym last night we decided to do the tread mill.  I'm a fan of ellipticals, but there were only girls on those machines and the BF didn't want to feel girley.. (only guys were on the treadmills)... So we did the treadmill.  We started with a brisk walk... elevated the incline to 7% which is pretty steep.  Walked briskly for about 10 mins.... then put the incline back to flat and started jogging.   We jogged on and off for 2 miles!  It was great!  I was so proud of the BF. 

 

gettinfit... When the BF and I go to the gym we don't split up.  We work out together.. Which is nice cuz i got someone to talk to.  Plus he has never been to a gym before so I teach him proper gym manners like wiping down the machines after you use them and how to use them correctly.. It makes me feel good kind of like a teacher.  We're going back tonight to run some more.  He really liked the running.  I think I may be turning him into a runner lol.  Maybe I can get him to do some 5k's with me.  That would be great!  After we ran we left.  I didn't want to over do my body with trying to get better and all.  We went to the grocery store, picked up some healthy snacks.. went home and made dinner.  Which consisted of whole wheat ziti, organic vodka sauce, ground turkey, peppers and mushrooms.  YUM YUM it was delish!

 

Today my plan is to work... then hit the gym for about an hour, come home and watch TBL and finish up my project for school.  Which is due tonight.  Tomorrow is the last day of this class phewey I can't wait!  thennnn I start another... I can't wait for winter break.

 

On that note.. for fooding I have today:

Yogurt

banana

grapes

progresso soup

special k bar

dinner - maybe left overs from last night?

 

I always loved running...it was something you could do by yourself,
and under your own power. You could go in any direction, fast or slow
as you wanted, fighting the wind if you felt like it, seeking out new sights
just on the strength of your feet and the courage of your lungs.

Way to Go!!!

Way to go on the running!!!!  You will be seeing lots of changes now!!!

Love how healthy you and BF are eating!!  Dinner sounded yummy!!!

Keep up the great job!

Yeah for your run!

I hope to be able to run again.  It has been a long time and I have been stuck with the eliptical machine due to my knees.  Plus, the eliptical is the only exercise machine at work in our little work out space along with some free weights. 

That is so awesome you and BF can work out together.  It is always easier if you have a buddy.  Great job on the November challenge so far

WTG!

Great job on the running! That is awesome!

Way to go!

Way to go on that running.  And for teaching BF!

round two, ep, round two.

 ugh! i hate it when my comments get deleted!


here is a running homer just for you!

now- tell me your secret to getting you bf to workout with you!  i cant get mine to workout for anything... maybe after he sees me run some 5ks he will jump on the bandwagon!

ooH!  you should look for a couples 5k in your area.  they are normally around valentine's day.  super fun!


awesome!

Yay you for getting to the gym and getting your boyfriend to go too!  It's so much easier to stick to working out when you do it with someone else.

Wonderful

That you were running and that the BF runs with you!
