Updates!

Here is my update since my last post:

Accomplishments:

• I have done three short runs (10-20 minutes) in my minimalist shoes.  The longest run, I could definitely feel it burning in my calves.  
• One yoga class last week.
• One workout with Richard Simmons "I wanna see your ass hit the floor." 
• One ten mile hike.
• Some stretching and crunches. 

My weak moments: 

• Chocolate
• Cupcakes
• Chocolate 
• Swedish Fish 
• Ice cream cake 

I have had a sweet tooth lately.  And I maintain the sugar is addictive, because I am normally more of a savory person and when I get into sweets, I can't stop.  And then when I do stop, I get crabby.  Theory proven = addictive.  

Goals for this week: 

• Three more short runs in new shoes.
• One cardio dance class (just bought a Groupon to my co-workers dance workout studio, so going to try it out with her!).
• One (or maybe two) yoga classes.
• Stretching, ab work and lunges while watching TV instead of couching it.
• Reduce sugar intake and increase greens intake!

Running barefoot

If you have talked to me in the last 24 hours, then you have certainly heard me ranting about barefoot running because I am reading Born to Run.  I went out and bought a pair of minimalist running shoes today, and I decided I am going to try them out and see if they work.  I've been having IT problems for about two years now, and I have been scared to run more than 4 miles because of it.  But I miss running.  So I'm hoping to re-teach myself how to run in hopes that this will alleviate my pain!

Seth and I went for a ten minute job in my new shoes tonight.  I was told that because it is so different than how we are used to run with stability shoes, that I need to gradually make my way into it.  So week one will be several 10-15 minutes runs.

I took a two week hiatus on yoga, but I am going back tomorrow to buy a membership and my goal is to do yoga twice a week.  It just makes me feel great both physically and mentally.  Bonus.

Hey Ladies,

I'm jumping on board the sassy health train - mostly in an overall sense. In an effort to keep myself balanced, in shape, and happy, my first mission is surfing every day. I know a few of you have heard my surfing theory a couple of times, but here I go, just to keep me accountable - 

I live NEXT TO the water and have a surfboard that I LOVE. I fucking designed it. It is awesome.

One of my top three favorite things in the world is snowboarding. If I could surf as well as I can snowboard I would be such a happy happy girl. Also I would be pretty ripped and tan. All it takes is practice!!!

ok, catcha.
