two weeks in a row!!!

so i have accomplished running two weeks in a row for twenty minutes without stopping.   i definitely made a foolish decision in the time i chose to run on Thursday.  i decided to run in Escondido at 2:50 in the afternoon, yuck....  i felt like puking and thought i was going to pass out the whole time.  i ran for twenty minutes off and on not continuously or anything like that, i was out for forty minutes and i only ran for twenty minutes.  but i went for another run this morning with a friend and we ran for over twenty minutes it was awesome.  i only stopped once to give my boy his apple to eat.  well more to come, i'm going to San Francisco next week for a much awaited wedding.  very excited.

no excuses, confessions of a pastors wife

so i have been praying about how to talk about and share with people what has been going on my personal life, and my families too.  so i've decided to change my blogs name (if i can figure out how to do that).  so i hopefully will start blogging more about more stuff.  one thing i want to share today is that this is the ninth week i've been working out with my trainer, and the second week in a row that i am running one day in.  and just for fun i weighed myself the other night and total i have lost ten pounds in the past nine weeks, that's a pound a week, i am so excited about that.  and another big blessing is that my sister in law has been helping (basically doing it all) count calories for me.  so for the past two weeks i have been trying to stick to 1800 calories a day and having small snacks in between my meals, which has been making me eat smaller meals.  i think that has been the point the whole time i've been training.  one more thing i will share is that i have been reading a book by Elizabeth George called A Woman After God's Own Heart.  this book has been very helpful for me so far.  i will get into specifics in another blog.  my husband gets off early today so i have a twenty five minute run waiting for me still.
