C25K 1.1 and 1.2

Yes. I know this has become very weight loss/ work out oriented and while I see this blog eventually becoming more about life, right now my focus and goals are all pointing toward getting in better shape. So I am sorry if this is boring...
But anyway. Monday I restarted the C25K program and then I rode for 24 minutes (it needs to warm up outside so I can go get my bike instead of using the stupid stationary bikes at the gym...). Then Wednesday- are you ready for this? I got up at 5:30 and went to run. As we were laying in bed with the alarm going off, Monique and I talked about staying in bed and I could go after work (which I've intended to do before but never quite made it)but I stayed strong and we got up and went! Okay, I wanted to swim in addition to running but we didn't get there with enough time. So 2 days are done. Today is an off day but I am riding and swimming tomorrow, running on Saturday and swimming on Sunday.

5.8

I've lost 5.8 pounds! Awesome! And I am going to start C25K again today. I counted and the Valpo triathlon is only 17 weeks away.
Okay, off to finish laundry and cleaning the house.

Lent

No, I am not Catholic but I have always loved the idea of having a season of preparation and sacrifice before Easter. So this year I an giving up cussing. Being surrounded by everyone at work and elsewhere I have developed a bit of a potty mouth. So that has been what I'm working on for this Lenten season. What about you? Are you giving up or starting a new habit for lent?

On another note I will be working on Q2 goals (April- June) soon, any ideas? (Other than being more gangsta. I've given up on that- it seems I'm destined to be preppy and white and I'm coming to accept that...)

And no. I have not been running. Remy and I did go for a nice long walk today though. And you may have noticed that I haven't posted about eating breakfast at home (my other March goal). Let's be serious- as much as I want to be the kind of person who has a nice calm breakfast at the table while reading the paper- I LOVE my sleep! When we have kids I'll want us to eat as a family but for now the car works just fine. But I am getting to work on time everyday still! Let's celebrate the successes!

A success!

Woohoo! Are you ready for a change of pace for my blog? I have lost 3.6 lbs! And that us just from counting my calories! It is actually really cool. I think about the size of my portions. If I want dessert I eat lighter during the day. So it's not like I have to cut out anything out.
But Remy did get bumped from my March goals. (yes, she seemed hurt but we had a good talk and she understands...) it is too cold and dark when I get off work still.
But we have decided to keep out gym membership and I (& Monique-I think) am going to do a 5k on April 2nd. I need some really push to start running again. A goal of training for a 5k in less than a month is quite push. So I AM going to go running tomorrow! I AM!!!
