• Something nice I did: (I usually only go out only once a week and on Sundays so I'll be doing this stuff for my family, and I could be nicer.)
  

let's get this going..at least for 12 weeks.

Ok, I've been a rockstar at working out now that I've gotten settled. I'm up to running 5 miles a day (4 if I do speed work). I'm doing ti 4x a week, but I'd like to get up to 5 again. The pounds are not melting off like they do RIGHT after baby, but slowly my fat pants are getting smaller. I now have 3 pairs of pants I can wear, and 2 are not sweats.
So, my friend Sara is doing her wellness challenge again and I'm going to stick to it...because there is money involved. And I don't want to loose my 20 bucks, so I'm determined to make all 10 points every day!
I have to work out 6 days a week, so i'll do yoga one day, and I just have to do 45 min a day of working out. Not a problem. It takes about a hour for me to run 5 miles- i'm slow... and then I lift...and do abs most days. But that "rest" day from running. I think walking to the bus stop (1.5 miles round trip) counts as working out on my rest/yoga day.
