I should have mentioned in my last post that I've been following YOU On A Diet for the last 3 months. The exercise portion suggests walking every day for 30 minutes. This is a life long habit, and not part of a diet per say. They also suggest 20 min of strength training 3x a week, hence the M,W,F strength stuff. The last step is 20 min of cardio 3x a week. I had been slacking on this one, because I don't like cardio and it's hot and a million other reasons.
The C25k is the perfect fit for it though, so I caved and started. I feel like I can't drop the others because they are working so well for me. I'm considering running while D is getting ready for work in the morning and leaving the kids with him. Then I'll walk as normal, with the kids, when he leaves for work around 7-ish. Not ideal, but it gets the job done I guess.
It DOES seem like a bit of overkill, because how much more could I possibly work out?! I should be super model material by now. (except I like to eat and well, you know...)
I even have a free 3 month pass for yoga and step and other classes at a wellness center that I haven't used because I can't figure out when I would possibly be able to work that in.
Now, if it would quit being so hot, maybe I wouldn't keep eating ice cream. THEN the fitness program would be a little more helpful...

let's talk about ice cream.
What's your favorite?
ooooh, I LOVE the birthday cake ice cream from Bruesters. Also, the birthday cake remix from Coldstone is YUM!!
I also adore the blueberry cobbler from Bruesters and the cheesecake from Bellacino's.
Can you tell I like ice cream in the summer?
This makes me feel so much better about my exercise habits, because I do almost exactly what this plan describes. And it's actually working. I have to just not pay attention to the ice cream part of this post, or I will counteract all the good effects of the exercise.
