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, ...

Romantic ideas

Image
I stumbled across this really cute idea to create a crossword puzzle for the hubby to figure out. You can make all of the clues related to your life together. Your first date, where you first kissed, where he proposed. So fun! You can generate a crossword puzzle online here . There was another idea to make a word search for your hubby.The words could be to ask him out on a date for later that evening. After he finds all the words he has to unscramble them into the sentence. Such a creative and romantic idea! I found a word search generator too here . Even another idea would be to create a matching game with pictures of the two of you. This would be great for long distance relationships and there's an online generator available here . Now I just need to think of clues.... :)

Baby on the way!

Image
Wow - It's been a year since my last post! We have quite an update to share, we are expecting our first baby on November 19th! We already know that it is a little girl and we have started gathering baby items we need. Luckily, an awesome lady at work said she is done having children so she cleaned out her baby stash and gave it all to me for free! We got a bouncy seat, jumper, swing, pack and play, floor mat, mobile, and walker! Our baby girl is going to be living large! LOL. now, all we need to do is buy a crib and get this little girl some clothes to wear! We are planning on having a shower in October so we will see what we get then. Oh, and we cant decide on a name to save our lives... That should be fun! Poor girl may be the nameless baby at the hospital for a while!
