C25K schedule

Ok, so I ended up taking a week long break from running... It wasnt planned that way but thats how my schedule worked out. So far my Couch to 5k schedule looks like this:

Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday
Week 1 - - - - w1d1 (and 1 hr group fitness class) w1d2 -
Week 2 - w1d3 w2d1 - - sick -
Week 3 - sick w2d2 - - - -

You can see that on week 2 I was going to just take a day off and resume on Thursday, but I was still really sore so I was going to get back into it on Friday. I think I pushed myself too much at first so I took too much time off. I gotta remember to take break days! Friday I got a bad headache so that messed me up. Then the fiance and I went out of town for the weekend. I know... excuses, excuses, huh? I plan on running tomorrow, which is Wednesday, then taking thursday off (I have a group fitness class that day) and then running again friday. Then I will be back on track and I can start week 3 next week and hopefully get the 3 per week running back on track! That will add a day to my w2 running plan, but I think that will be best for me! I am struggling at the end of the 20 minutes! My fiance and I joked that I wasnt just coming from the couch, I was coming from the bed! I have never been a runner in my entire life! I remember in 3rd grade we had a race and I came in last!


I really hope I see some results soon so I will stick with the program! I am bad about giving up on it when nothing is happening.... I really want to lose some weight before the wedding! 20 pounds in 2.5 months is possible right?

The 45 President's of the United States Song!

Image
With the presidential inauguration of Donald J. Trump only hours away today, I felt like it was appropriate to update the old President's Song I memorized in 4th grade. For some reason the song has always stuck with me, and it has been quite handy throughout the years when answering bar trivia questions! The song originally stopped after Clinton, ("Bush and Clinton and who knows some day it might be you!") but I have updated it as we have added new presidents over the years! I can't seem to find the original song anywhere, so if you happen to have it please post it in the comments! Below are the new lyrics and I hope to eventually make it into a video with the presidents pictures! Link to song: https://youtu.be/OQZzOLx5EQ8 Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Madison, and Monroe. These are the U.S. Presidents all lined up in a row! Adam, Jackson, Van Buren, Harrison, and Tyler. Polk, and Taylor, Fillmore, Pierce, Buchanan, Lincoln, Johnson. Grant,

Last Name Banner

Sooo.. you know you can buy those picture frames that spell out your last name with pictures of random objects that make letters? Like these... Well, Our last name has 11 letters - ELEVEN - so there is no picture frame on this earth long enough to contain all of those letters.  I could have spent a fortune to pay a company to make me one, but I figured it would be a lot more fun to take all of the letter pictures ourselves! I let the hubby know my plan and we planned a day at the local flea market to take pictures. When it rained us out, we went to the art museum instead and got a lot of great pictures! I used a tree root for the L and K, art sculptures for the S’s, and found a lot of E’s and the W with in the ancient artifacts exhibit. I later took a picture of our gate for the Z and some sticks in our backyard for the other Z. It was fun going on the scavenger hunt and it gave us something to do together as well! Once I got all of the pictures printed in Sepia tones I had

TOP: The Organic Project

Image
I recently had an awesome opportunity to try out some feminine hygiene products from the TOP project.  TOP products are crafted with 100% organic cotton and are 100% biodegradable, so I can rest assured that what I'm using on my body is completely safe! TOP provides a subscription service, which as a part of my samples I didn't get to try, but isn't that genius!? I mean, these are products you KNOW you're going to need every month, so doesn't it make complete sense to just go ahead and get it delivered monthly?! You can customize exactly what products you want, choose how often you want your box delivered, and you have the ability to hold or cancel at any time! Plus, you can add one-time purchase items or make changes whenever you want! As a part of my sample, I received tampons, liners, and ultra thin pads. Let me tell you, I don't use pads very often, but these were so amazingly comfortable! It felt just like I was wearing regular cotton underwea
