33 Days to 5k
Monday, October 19, 2009 by Lindsey
So, I was really disappointed and discouraged the past week or so, because I didn't feel like I was seeing any physical change as a result of my working out. This weekend was very crazy with a photo shoot, and enjoying some time with friends, and then hanging out with Molly and Tay so that Mom and Dad could have a mini-vacation and I haven't had a chance to work out. Despite that fact, I finally got up the courage to step on the scale yesterday. (Scales make me really nervous...because if I hadn't lost any weight, I didn't want to feel more discourage because I know even if there is no change, I'm still working towards a healthier lifestyle.) To my surprise, in the past 2-3 weeks I've lost 6 lbs! It was just the motivational push I needed, annd, today I'm going to go out running because the weather is the nicest it's been in days. *grins*
Despite the awful weather, Ron and Amanda's photoshoot went fantastically. I've known Ron for a long time, and have always enjoyed his conversation/company, but I felt like I really "clicked" with Amanda and we have a ton in common. Nathan and I are planning a trip up to PA to spend some time with them in March, I'm already very excited. It will be nice to have another couple to spend time with. Saturday was pretty great, after the photo shoot we drove down to Woodbridge and played laser tag, and grabbed some dinner. Very relaxing day.
Yesterday was pretty quiet, spent most of the day just watching/playing with Molly, then enjoyed a bit of Rock Band with Taylor and some great conversation with Nathan afterwards. I had trouble getting to sleep though, because miss Molly snores like you would not believe. I knew I had to keep the baby monitor up loud enough that I would wake when I heard her this morning...so I was also listening to her snore, and then the heater in her bedroom would come on and start making really loud white noise through the monitor. Haha. I 've got plenty of coffee this morning, though - so I should be good. Maybe I'll take a nap this afternoon. If my crazy week doesn't inhibit that.
This week is certainly looking to be insane. I have a ton of little things I've been procrastinating that really need to be done: go to the bank, send out some forms, send out a few boxes, build forms for KitchenKids, get ready for the consignment fair this weekend and finish everything I need for my KitchenKids/ElusivePhotoDesign booth (and pray my new business cards for EPD get here in time.), study for and finish my second assignment for HTML class, and...who knows what else?
Now I'm off to conquer my day.
