P90X progress

Now I'm on day 5 of ab ripper x and I feel pretty good. Surprised I'm already seeing results and it's very exciting. Up to 3.3 miles consistently a day on running. My 5k is around 28 minutes so I'm pretty excited. Now the next step is to incorporate the diet. I just tried a homemade smoothie today and wasn't crazy about it. I guess I may have to tweek it a little bit. 

Almond milk and spinach surprisingly in a smoothie go pretty well together. 

Below is the progress so far I see a definite difference don't know if it is that much but at least i'm seeing progress. 

Below is a picture of day 4 of running and just doing p90x ab ripper x. I'm going to slowly start putting more workouts in throughout the week :) Let me know if anyone else has some advice. 

Panini!

So I may seem like the crazy pet lady but of course I couldn't not recognize that it's panini's 5th birthday. To celebrate we will be going on a hike.

I've been managing to jog 3 miles a day 5 days a week. It's getting easy and I even made it to my goal of 4 miles!

Have a great Monday! It's going to be a great day off!

I feel great

So never thought a week without running could make me feel so depressed. Went running yesterday and today and I feel awesome! Up to 3.5 miles now and I feel unstoppable. Never thought I could accomplish this but it feels good to.

Made barbecue pulled pork last night and it was amazing! The recipe called for root beer and I was a little bit skeptical. It turned out great. The recipe is in the picture below.

Now tonight is chicken quesadillas hopefully those turn out just as great. I love my crock pot!

Things

There's something's I wish I could say but can't find the words to say them. How I'm feeling and why I'm feeling weird. Ever have those days when you know something's wrong but can't explain what because everything looks and should be fine?

Yeah my dilemma tonight.

New hair

Had a fun weekend. My mom came and spent the whole weekend. We had fun but had to break up a few dog fights between our dogs.

Got my haircut and first time getting bangs. I even kept up with my running. Up to 36 miles in 5 weeks and I'm running more everyday. I feel great! Now just hoping my teeth hurt because of this stupid sinus infection.

Work tomorrow definitely not looking forward to it.

Oh yeah!

So finished my run tonight! Even did it in the rain. Feel great even though my mile was a minute longer because I couldn't breath out of my nose.

I got the Nike + that you put it your shoe and its actually really accurate. I like how it will let you know how far you've gone just like the other app would. FYI for the new iPhones you don't need the entire kit so I could have saved 15 dollars. All you need is the pod but if you have an iPod an older model you need the whole kit with the sensor and the receiver.

At least it's almost Saturday and I can enjoy my 2 days off without being sick. Maybe get my haircut?!

Spartacus and panini said they do not like this rain or thunder. At least their each others thunder buddy <3

Sick

I hate being home sick only to sit here and watch horrible tv.

Pretty bummed that I have to miss another day of running. Was doing so well....only to be set back by this. Shouldn't of ran yesterday maybe it wouldn't of made me go back to square one.

At least I have the best dogs ever! Nurse panini and doctor Spartacus have not left my sight.

Well hopefully I can kick this because I hate missing work 😒

Running

I just started running a few weeks ago. Started out at .5 miles and was wheezing. I'm not the athletic type but I'm not lazy either. A few weeks ago I purchased my first pair of Nike shoes because I know if I spend over $60 on them I'm going to stay committed to this. At the Nike store I didn't know running shoes you had so many options. An associate helped me out and looked at me like an alien when I said I have never owned a pair of Nike's before. After my purchase I had to break these bad boys in, immediately my knee wasn't hurting and it felt awesome.

3 weeks later I'm now up to 2.75 miles and it's starting to become easier...hoping it will be the same as I had to take 3 days off due to a sinus infection. 

If you haven't downloaded the Nike + running app I suggest you do. It gives you motivation by picking powersongs when you are slowing down. Also people like your run on facebook and you hear cheering, which helps you gain more motivation. 

Better get off the computer so I can get my run over with. Wish me luck since I've had 3 days off...lets hope I can breath out of my nose.
