ChasingSkinny

Yesterday was that of a day at the gym. I suppose due to my recent love for the elliptical, my quads were being kind of stubborn. I did 3 minutes, stopped. Went and switched head phones with the hubs came back and did 3 more minutes, stopped. Gah! I was a bit frustrated at my poor endurance. I hit the treadmill for a mile and I guess that warmed me up a bit because I went back to the elliptical and got in 2.75 miles; so total 3.75 for the night. I was very happy with that considering it was one of those I would've rather been somewhere else kind of workouts.

I have a friend who almost 2 years ago started her weight loss journey and through healthy eating and exercise, has lost 50 lbs. Since, she has ran several 5ks and an 8k and is currently training for the Knoxville Half Marathon. She amazes me. I also have found so much inspiration from you sweet bands sisters (Manda, Beth Ann, Sarah G, to name a few), that I think I have talked myself into signing up for a 5k after the local marathon is over. Thank you girls! [I wished you lived closer so we could do it together!] You really don't know how much of an inspiration you are too me.

Happy note: My hubs has been with me to the gym twice now. That makes me so happy. I've tried for months to get him to come with me and am thankful he has finally stopped talking himself out of it. The way it works for me is if I get in the routine, I can't live without it; I feel fabulous. But when I begin to miss, it's so hard to make myself go. Fingers crossed he'll continue. He makes a pretty snazzy workout buddy!

Speaking of snazzy, I found some new shades for spring; the bigger the better! And even better - the sunshine is finally hanging around.

I welcome spring! ✿
