C25k

I wanted to mix up my exercise a little this week. I always do Boot Camp twice a week and Elliptical twice a week. I got a wild hair on Saturday to go for a jog around my neighborhood. It was really nice out this weekend. I decided to do the first step in the Couch-to-5K running plan. Alternating 60 seconds of running with 90 seconds of walking for 20 minutes (I did about 2 miles, which was a little less than 20 minutes). I REALLY enjoyed it! I had my iPod, listening to music, nothing to worry or think about except running, no distractions, no child pulling on my pants, no husband waiting for dinner, no laundry to be done... just me. Running.

I liked it so much I did it again Sunday.

I sweat a TON doing it and my heart rate stays up the whole time, so I know I'm working out hard. Every one I know who runs says it melts the weight off like nothing else. So, I think I'm going to find a place for jogging in my workout week. Who knows, in a few weeks I might be running solid for those 2 miles!

Since Philip is working days for the next 2 months, I decided to make us dinner like normal people on Saturday night. I found a recipe for this yummy looking Veggie Casserole with 'breadcrumbs' on top. I've been wanting to make it for a while.

Well let me tell you. It was nasty! Normally Philip will choke down just about anything I make (mainly because I think he doesn't want me to feel bad) well, he couldn't even eat this. I thought it was sick too. It must have been the comination of too much onion powder (I followed the recipe!), honey nut fiber one cereal, and nasty chicken broth (I just can't eat that anymore, the smell ruins it for me)..... so we threw out this big 9x13 pan of food and ate frozen dinners. Boo. Big fat fail.

At least Philip was home for dinner though. :)
