Fitness and Weight Loss

Hey ladies and gentlemen.

I took a break from my blogs and running. I know, how could I stop running! I am upset too. You probably don't care, but oh well. I am home now, and I think I have ran a total of 2 time in the last month! That is so bad! I went for a nice run today! It felt amazing to get back out there. I ran a total of 3.4 km non-stop. I know that is not a whole lot, but it's nice to say that I did it non-stop.

I am having a hard time finding a route to run back home that is a bit longer. Right now the hwys are all washed out so the back roads are really busy. So as of right now I am running the 3.4km route. Until I find a new route I will just work on decreasing my time. I could run to my friend's old house, but there is a HUGE hill in the park. Once the hwys are back up and running, I will start running on some of the back roads.

I want to start losing my belly. I haven't been watching what I eat. I know, I know, I totally should, but I don't. I enjoy food way too much. My whole family does, but that is no excuse. Tonight I actually said no to myself. I told myself "you don't NEED that second helping, you just want it." I have to learn the difference. That will be hard.

I am also going to start running and walking more. I LOVE walking. I could and would walk all day. I wet for a walk down Poleline the other night and I was in complete bliss. The skunk was the only downer, but he ran away pretty fast. I also went for a walk in the park on Wednesday night for two hours. That was amazing! I was in the bush with no music. It was just me. It was so nice! I am thinking of going for an all day walk on one of my days off. Bring a backpack with water and some food (fruits and veggies, I have to be healthy you know :P). Am I crazy for wanting to take a day just to walk? It's like an all day hike.

I work in a greenhouse this summer full time, so I get to be outside all day. That can be a blessing and a curse. The weather dictates what kind of day I will have. There have been days where I sat there in front of the heater just freezing! Then there are days like today were it was 26 out and I was so hot in the greenhouse. I forget where I was going with this.... Oh right, I walk around for my job which is good! I get sidetracked easily.

I think that is all for me tonight. I hope everyone is enjoying their summer :) Remember just keep swimming, swimming, swimming.
