St Patty's Day Challenge - January 2011 Thread

YAY! I ran my 1st 5k race this morning. I finished in 30 mins 3 secs. It wasnt too bad but that cold air, fog, inclines and a couple of stomach cramps had me thinking I wasnt going to be able to run the entire time. However, I just kept telling myself to push through it and I did!

Congrats!! That's such an amazing accomplishment!!

I used to have trouble staying under sodium, too. I was able to combat this by switching to lower sodium food options, ex. no salt added whole-wheat bread, and by making my own foods. Without doing that, it's almost impossible to stay under sodium because there is so much added to regular foods.

Thanks! Im still working on it.

Ok guys

what has everyone been doing this week?

Anyone set any mini goals for the week?

I have been trying to eat my servings of fruits and veggies.
Excersize wise I have had a slow week. Getting at least 10 to 20 min of walking in. I have more pt on my knee this week.

Anyone have any goals to work on next week?

Well, this has not been a great week. Ive been eating bad and ive just been lazy.
Hope everyone else is having a better week.

my weigh in this week 200.1 I lost 1.2 lbs this week. can you believe how close I am to onderland, I will get there SOON

I had a good weekend. Me and my husband decided we needed to spend some one on one time with each kid. So we had them rotate every hr, one kid with my husband, one with me and one cleaning their room. So with my middle daughter I played games, sorry, manacula and hangman, with my son I walked to the park around the corner and played basketball (horse) and I lost only by one letter, YEAH I havent picked up a basketball since 10th grade. Then with my youngest daughter I jumped on the trampoline then we went to the nature trail and walked down to the river and skipped rocks as we talked. So it was a good weekend and I got in lots of exercise. what did everyone else do this weekend?

I'm just joining the St. Patty's day group, so my goal will be 10 lbs by 3/17. I need to kick the chocolate habit, but I'm otherwise a healthy eater that needs to get back on the treadmill:)
