New Shoes and Fitbitbe

My new kicks!! In love!!! Asics Nimbus 16

been waiting for what seems like forever to get this and it finally came,
it's the Fitbit Charge HR.. so far love it!!

P90X3 mixed with running

This week I started back running again..

 I finally got some new running shoes when I was in Utah last week...and I LOVE them!!! They are so comfy and roomy too!!  I needed to start running soon and get some good miles in before my marathon training starts next month...

To say I am scared is a HUGE understatement...  I keep going back and forth wondering if I can even do this... this is so big for me... one of the biggest goals I have ever done.... it is so CRAZY right??  I don't know...

Right now I have just started out super slow... 2 miles a day, after I get my P90X3 in... and right now I am running on my treadmill, cause there is snow outside!! Yuck!! It's April for crying out loud... the snow had its chance and now it needs to be done and over with it!!

So far with the running it has been a bit of a struggle, but I have tried to push myself to keep going... I need to have a base of 20 miles a week to be in a good place... if I can get there then I will feel good...but right now, it's not looking to promising... but I will not stop.. I will keep going... just need to keep up with eating better so I can drop some weight and then I will feel much better....

I also am going to keep up with the weight training while I train for my marathon, I want to go into this being a lot stronger than I was when I did my first half... I have confidence in this..! I need all your support...

I also cannot wait to move back to Utah to get in with some of the group runs they have going on out there.... lets hope I can keep up... anyway for now here are a few pictures of this week after I got all my workouts done...

Keep it real!! Love you all!



P90X3

It has been a while since I posted... and I am sorry for that... I have a lot of crazy stuff going on in my personal life and so I am kinda flying by the seat of my pants... I am keeping up with my workouts faithfully, but as far as keeping up on the blog not so much...

Anyway, so I have started P90X3 and at first I was so hesitant, and thinking I don't like how it is so slow compared to what I have been doing...but since the first week my mind has changed...  I love how I don't have to beat my body into the ground every day..  With the insanity programs which I still absolutely love they are just very fast paced and feel so good to have a bit of a break from that... This program is a lot of weight training which is something I think I have needed...  There are some workouts that are cardio based as well... which I love having a mix of both...

So I did my first month of the program and just felt much stronger, and started to see a little definition in my arms... (little obsessed with my arms right now... ) I started my 2nd month while I was in Utah visiting some family... and I just continue to love it!  Now if I can just keep my eating in check for the next month and a half that would be the best!!

I am really struggling with my eating...but just recently feel like I have found a new motivation to eat healthy... I feel like I am being held accountable by some friends and family to get some great results.. so that is helping me track my food and help me to watch what I put in my mouth... Every day is a new day!

Here are some of my random P90X3 workout pictures...
I honestly never thought you could sweat so much when doing weight lifting... or push-ups and pull-ups... boy I was wrong!!
