Heat Wave

I am so over this heat wave!!!!!!!!!! Fall  hurry up and get here!!! But before that Earl please go away and do not harm anyone or anything!! I will not be affected by this hurricane because I am more inland but if anyone is PLEASE stay safe, my thoughts are with the people in NC…
I did the 30 day shred this morning, I really enjoy this video! It’s just a quick 20 minutes to get my heart pumping and energy up to start the day off on the right foot!
Breakfast was a bowl of Go Lean and Cheerios with fruit, morning snack was a banana!


For lunch I made myself a bowl of plain greek yogurt with granola and fruit, it’s so pretty I almost don’t even want to eat it! :)

And dinner was tuna wrapped in a whole wheat wrap with salad mix and veggies. I am really getting sick of these quick sandwich/wraps but there is no way I am heating up the kitchen in this weather! I JUST WANT TO COOK A REAL MEAL!!!! :D
Today was my second run, hubby and I waited til it was almost dusk to head out, despite the temp we had a great run. I’m really enjoying it and I completely understand everyone that commented on my last post about running with a partner who is faster. Poor Keith was almost doing a power walk just to stay with me. lol He’s not complaining so neither will I !

‘Night!

Surprise!

Holy cow where has the day gone?! Sorry this is going to be another quick post, getting back into school routine is tougher than I thought!  Teachers sure don’t wait to start shoveling out the homework!  Grrrr!
I have to tell you about my first run last night, it went great! Loved it and I am really looking forward to my next one. Don’t think I stretched enough because I was a little stiff this morning. One of the best parts about my run was, I had a surprise partner…my hubby! Not sure if he’s in it for the training or wants to keep me company but either way is a bonus for me! :D
Here we are after our first run last night!

It has been so hot here, my appetite has gone down the tubes! If it’s not water or fruit I don’t feel like eating. One more day of this heat and our temps will be down.  I am really looking forward to the fall with the cooler weather, hearty soups and baking with apples and pumpkin!  Mmmmm!!!
Breakfast and lunch were the same, cereal and yogurt with fruit and some granola. Dinner was fast and light, toasted ham sandwich with spinach and tomatoes with some veggies cut up.

I like my toast a little burnt….just sayin’ ;)
Do you like to run alone or with someone or a group?
I am off to hit the hay, hope everyone had a great day! 
Did not intend for that to rhyme! lol
‘Night!

Ready or Not!

First of all I want to shout out a huge thank you to everyone that has encouraged and inspired me to start running. I have enjoyed reading all your comments and have taken everyone’s advice. Follow a program and start slow, just what I am going to do. Couch to 5k seems to be the most popular so that’s what I’ll be starting with tomorrow! Can’t wait to get started, I’m so excited and nervous! I know it’s going to be tough especially starting a new program the same week the kiddos are heading back to school and my daycare has started back up but I think I can manage to find 20 minutes and I’m hoping the energy will follow! I’ve put my Couch to 5k Plan on my Workout page, on a couple of  the rest days I will still be doing 30 Day Shred or video of some sort,  just because I really enjoy them! That is if I can walk, I can hardly walk from my run yesterday so I’m guessing I didn’t do enough stretching after wards! Live and learn, I suppose! ;) “Pain is fear leaving the body” Jillian Michaels. In my case I hope that’s true! lol
So for breakfast I had a bowl of mixed cereals and banana.

Lunch was yogurt, fruit and granola…forget to take a pic!
Afternoon snack was two Wasa multi grain crackers with Laughing Cow cheese, grapes and carrots!

Dinner was a delicious quesadilla! Here are some of the veggies…I cooked the red onion down slowly till they were a golden brown, nice and sugary! :D

I added some feta, leftover chicken from last night and sliced tomatoes.

Well tomorrow is the first day of school for my girls, 6th grade and 1st grade. They are excited and nervous and completely bummed that summer is over! I am expecting a lot of getting out of bed for water, belly aches and the like! :(
