Knee's feeling better...

So I am back in the gym just taking it easy trying to build up some endurance for the 1/2 in a few weeks.  I already have a couple 5K in mind for Feb and March.  Audrie's Tinkerbell run is coming up in Jan.  She is pretty excited.  Crossing my fingers my knee keeps feeling good.  Back in the gym tomorrow for the lift/step class.  Gots me some body fat to shed.

Not sure who is going to win the weigh in.  I think Dave has be beat.

Spaghetti Squash tonight for supper. I know I will enjoy it, but I think Dave will hate it.  We shall see.

Not much going on...

STILL FRAZZLED MOMMMY... can you tell?

Ready for the holidays to get on the way and the kids to get a break from school and me a break from classes.
I have a plan,  I really do.  It's just executing it.

:-)

1/2 Marathon

At this point with my knee troubles,  my goal is to just simply get through it.  Finish the race and not in LAST place.  After this,  I have to go back to running 5K's and probably forever.  My knee is just a mess and I know the dr. is going to kill me when he finds out I did the 1/2 before surgery.

Over-all doing okay.  Still haven't lost much.  Thanks to the fabulous craziness going on with kid stuff, my 2 moms groups,  family,  college,  volunteering, etc.  Hoping come Jan,  I can work things out better. I just haven't made me a priority.  It's hard when you have kids as we all know.

Bleh...

Gotta get back on the bandwagon.  My knee is giving me fits and Dave hurt his back.  Always something messing up our fitness goals.  But... we will prevail.  lol.

Anyhow, I found a bit of humor today.  For those of you on FB... this is quite common with people and I can't help but laugh.

I guess if your running... your still burning calories... or in this case I guess not.  

Health low fat foods I love

I am bound and determined to do it this time.  And... I would like more then anything to kick my husband's ass in this contest.  Winner gets the new I-phone.  (I have wanted one for a couple years now).

 Tilapia, veggies and brown rice. 

Turkey meatballs with veggies (great protein source). Awesome for snacks.

Pre-made meals.  Chicken and rice or veggies.  Portion control

Best dressing ever.  Only 5 calories and low sugar and sodium

I have a couple Mrs.  Dash seasonings now, but they are a most for the lift style change.  

Egg White omelet with spinach and some onion or peppers.  Sometimes I add salsa.  

Updates

Still haven't been smoking!! Go ME!!!!

Dave and I are for sure doing the Surf City half.  No backing out now.  We're in it to do it!!

So yesterday to start off,  we did a walk run of 4.5 miles ( more running then walking) and today we did a 10.5 miles bike ride.

Tomorrow I am doing a 2 mile run and then a YOGA class.

Dave and I are in a Biggest loser contest with each other.  Who do you think will win?  Our date for the end of the contest is Jan. 1st 2012.  So we are doing it during the hardest time of the year and I love to bake and share goodies, so this will be tough, but I will do it.

Night all.

Still not smoking...

Going on day 3 of no smoking at all.  Gettin back on track.
