I'm Still Logging...Wish I Was Jogging

Five days in to March and I'm still logging my food!!! I went a tiny bit over my calories yesterday, but I'm OK with that. I'm not letting the number on the scale which hasn't moved AT ALL bother me. I know it takes time for the body to start showing that change. In the meantime, I could really help myself out by getting in some stinkin exercise, but that just isn't happening right now.

I will, however, be running 3.1 miles on Saturday night/Sunday morning as the time "springs forward." This is race weekend. The 5K in Paradise is here!!! Yay!!! I really, really, REALLY love the course of this race. I have never run a better course and for that reason, I will continue to run these races for as long as they offer them!

The new job is going great. I am really starting to get the hang of the computer and the way they do things. I'm still just enjoying how laid back everything is!

Sorry that this post is both choppy and brief, but I am sleepy and cold. Time for a shower and bed!!

March Logging

I would like to start this post by saying, "Happy Birthday, Dr. Seuss!" His stories live on in the hearts of children and adults alike. I don't know a single person who doesn't enjoy a Seuss rhyme.

Now, on to other things. I'm really enjoying my new job. I still miss some of my old co-workers, but I don't dislike any of my new ones. They all seem to be good people. Also, it is a MUCH more laid back environment, so my stress level has dropped tremendously. I hope it continues to go well. I am very optimistic!

I did not accomplish my February goal of 20 Zumba workouts. I really didn't beat myself up over it. I had, as usual, a lot going on in my life and, yet again, working out went on the back burner. I did begin my March challenge of logging all food on MyFitnessPal yesterday and I am happy to report that I have continued to log even today! I have to say that logging all of my food again has caused me to be a little more accountable of what is going in my mouth and I have managed to stay under my calorie goal for the past two days. Perhaps this is the month that I will get back on track mentally and perhaps I will also lose some pounds along the way!

The 5K in Paradise is one week from today. I have run on the treadmill a couple of times and I have to say that I am REALLY out of shape and I am hoping and praying that I don't have a longer time than my last time on this course. I am hoping to get my act together soon because I want to repeat the half marathon again this August with proper training and hydration. I have to decide soon if I am up for it as registration has already begun and there are a limited number of spots open.
