My March Goals

Click here for my WWW Week 9 post.

My March Goals:

1. Drink 8 Bottles(16.9oz) of Water a day.

2. Workout 6 days a week; at least 3 days at the gym.

3. Eat at home 95% of meals.

4. Make an honest (not the lazy lack of effort I have been giving it) effort to save money.

5. I am starting the month at 249lbs. I would like to be in the 220's by the end of March. (the 2teens would be AWESOME!!!)

Bonus Goal: Run a 5K. No matter how long it takes me to run/jog 3.2 miles, I want to do this by the end of March to see how it feels and to see how much I improve by the Zooma Austin 5K!

I am looking forward to March. I am also looking forward to striving for these goals!

P.S. My hubby went back on nights this week and I miss him. :(

WWW Week 9

Positive Picture

I want to be in one of these this summer!!!

1. What have you done this past week to help you achieve your goals?

I started Couch to 5K training program. I also have quit eating beef for now (btw its not easy in TX) EDIT: We also received our tax return and PAID OFF $2140 in debt!!! I am so excited. It puts quite a chunk of change back in our budget a month to throw at the rest of the debt. VERY HAPPY ABOUT THIS!!! 

2. Today's the last day of the month - how do you feel you've done in February?

The beginning and middle of February I was lazy and un motivated. I began to get       re-motivated near the end of February. I am hoping that March will be a much better month. The warmer weather will hopefully get me outside for workouts. I am excited for MARCH and spring break from school.

3. What is your go-to favourite meal to cook? Share the recipe if possible!

Chicken Italiano. Pasta, grilled chicken, pizza sauce and mozzerella cheese. Preferably with broccoli or green beans.

4. Share a quote or saying that is inspiring you today.

Today I am not sure. My favorite quote is "Single minded to the point of wrecklessness." Bee from 

Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.

"Why choose to fail when success is an option?" Jillian Michaels

5. Fun Question of the Week: What's your make-up routine? Wear any? Lots? Do you have a must-have?

I attempt to wear makeup on days that I have class and for church. I use Mary Kay and not alot. I do subtle

make up. My must have from Mary Kay is the TimeWise Cleanser and Moisturizer. And I love their lipsticks.
Summary: Super happy about the debt pay off and the beginning of March!!!

WWW Week 8

Positive Pic: My friend swinging my son at the park. Don't worry we didn't do that too long... he started turning pink in about 20 minutes. Poor child got his Momma's fair skin. :(

1. What have you done this past week to help you achieve your goals?

Last week I don't remember doing much to help achieve my goals except for planning out what we are going to do with our tax return and focusing on school work.

2. Pretty much everywhere this past week experienced some mild weather...did this change have any effect on you? Yes it reminded me that summer is coming and here in Texas its going to be HOT HOT HOT and I DO NOT want to be stuck in jeans again for a whole summer. I want to be able to wear shorts and skirts and swimsuits and not be self conscious(embarrassed) about my legs(and stomach and arms and butt). Anyway basically it reminded me about summer.

3. Walk us through your ideal workout. 

An ideal workout for me would be one that combines running and strength training in one. Or a cardio and strength training combined workout. And ABS.

4. What happened in the last week that you to brag about?

My husband and I went on a date to the rodeo!!! It was the first time we had been on date in about 6 months. It was awesome!!! We saw Miranda Lambert in concert. I love her.

5. Fun question of the week: Spring Fever has hit the stores... What's your favorite thing to shop for in spring? Flip flops?... hopefully this spring/summer I can add to that list. 

Alright well that's my week 8!

Couch to 5K Day ONE

Day 1 of Couch to 5K went very well. My husband went with me. He is also training for the 5K that I am planning to do. We are not sure if my husband is running the 5K with me or just supporting me in training and at the race. Speaking of the 5K I never did tell ya'll about it. It is the ZOOMA Women's Race Series. I am doing the one in Austin. It is a half marathon and 5K. I am very excited!!! And I can't wait to get my new running shoes soon. Asics or Brooks not sure yet! Any suggestions??? Oh yeah if you are thinking of starting the couch to 5k program make sure you use the podcast available on itunes. 

Hugs,
