Week 1 of C25K completed! :)

So I had decided that May 1st was going to be the day I was going to get serious about running again. Last summer I did really well, but then winter hit and I got lazy.. and fat. OOPS. As I am out of breath right away from running the first minute in the Week 1 C25k I remember back when I was running for 35 minutes straight and beat my 5k time by like 4 minutes! Now I am back at square one. Kicking my self for that...

It feels good to be back though! I have lost 1 lbs so far this week, and my goal is to lose 2! I hope! I ate really well today I had scrambled eggs and toast with peanut butter on it this morning. Finished drinking 64 ounces of water by noon, Had 2 cups of strawberries, 2 slices of toast with peanut butter and that is it at work! That is a huge accomplishment for me! I usually it almost all of my calories at work! having that protein in the morning really seemed to help! Now I get to have Friday and Saturday off of running. However my mom wants to walk/run with me on monday. So I think I may do my 1st day on Saturday just so I don't have too long of a gap without running, or all of the days in a row.

May goals

So the spring is here, well somewhat all I have felt lately is cold and rain, but I hear that the temps should turn around to the 60's this week! and this little bout of spring here and there and my little infertility problem has got me motivated to change some things and really take action and control over my life! After all this is my life, I am responsible to live it and not let it pass by. so here we go...


Bible goal- As I said waay back here that I wanted to read the bible in 90 days and read it cover to cover. Well I gave up the hope and dream of 90 days. Which actually I am ok with, because I would rather soak it up than finish in 90 days. My new goal is to read Numbers & Deuteronomy ( I have read all the previous). That is about 3 chapters a day.

Exercise goal- my goal is to exercise 3 days a week. I plan on running 3 days a week. I am doing warrior dash July 23rd and I would prefer not to make a complete fool out of myself.

Weight goal- my goal for the month of May is to lose 2 lbs a week. Which totals to be 8 lbs.

Nutrition goal- Stay between 1250-1600 calories a day, Eat more fruits and veggies. Stay as far away from sugar as I can (Hi I'm Tara, and I am a sugar addict)


Money goal- I am going to try and spend $10 less this month than I did last month

Photography goal- do 2 photo shoots this month (not of husband or Porkchop)
