Week 4 - AGAIN

Well, I'm still stuck on week 4. School has been a huge source of stress and there was a week or two in there where the baby didn't sleep well, so I took more naps during the day and didn't make time to run. I've pretty much had a week and a half off. So on Monday, I restarted with week 4. I didn't run on Wednesday, but I did run on Friday. I figure twice a week is better than nothing. I'll repeat week 4 again next week just because I had a little trouble restarting. This week, the goal is to drink more water and watch what I'm eating more carefully. Today and yesterday went really well in terms of that. I eat sandwiches on Ezekiel bread, which is supposed to be better for you, and I put lots of veggies on them. My favorite lately has been a turkey sandwich with a little bit of mayo, swiss cheese, lettuce, tomato, avocado, and alfalfa sprouts. I like to eat it with garlic pita chips (not as good for you, but at least they're baked and I don't eat too many) and tomato/basil hummus. I'm feeling better, at least, and less like a zombie :-) School is over once I take my unit 2 test, so next week will be a time when I can focus a little more on myself and my family. But mostly on myself. That sounds pretty selfish, but that's not what I meant. I mean, I've let some things go like my running and my nutrition because I just didn't have the time to follow through on those things with school wrapping up so quickly. This week, I can make sure I have the time to do those things. And I'm going to get a pedicure too! :-)
