Yep...time for an update...I think it's been a while since I've actually had a chance to do any sort of update on the goals I established at the beginning of the year.
Health & Fitness
Running
So I haven't ran an actual 5k yet...but...I did complete the C25K app! No short cuts, no breaks...I did what the program told me to and I survived...I did it! Today was the last day, I ran 30 minutes straight (first time ever)! I am not the fastest runner...I ran at a pace that was manageable for me while keeping track of my heart rate. I did it and was so excited about it, I had to post this on facebook:
Improving strength, tone, all that fun stuff...
That is coming along as well. There are definitely some areas that I'm nowhere near where I want to be...especially strength-wise (push-ups come to mind), but darnit...I'm getting there! The definition is getting pretty decent...especially my legs. Overall, I am happy with the progress that has been made.
Better eating...
As I've posted in other entries, we have been experimenting with a paleo diet. Not 100%, but definitely have made some improvement in that area and I have been pleasantly surprised with a lot of what we have tried (but this does tend to get a bit expensive). Last night's baking adventure, double chocolate muffins from Piece of Cake Paleo:
The bottom line...
I am seeing results and happy with what i see. There are definitely some areas that could be improved, but overall...I'm happy. We are about 6 weeks out from our cruise, my 40th birthday and I think that I will be able to wear a bikini with confidence on my 40th birthday (that was one of my goals). I ordered two a few days ago, they arrived tonight and while one will not work without huge risk of wardrobe malfunction, I am absolutely in love with the other!
