Running and Kettlebells

:) I've been doing c25k for a while now, but somehow find myself only on week 2? I did w1d1 so many times because I didn't want to move forward until I could do all the intervals. Turns out pushing a 50lb stroller (kid included ;) ) up and down hills is WAY different from running stroller-free in the park, who knew? So now that I've ditched the stroller I am doing much, much better and feeling much stronger and like I'm moving in a positive direction and gaining momentum. I can even run and chat at the same time -- I never would have believed that was possible for me! I'm excited to up my intervals some more, but I am also pretty determined to follow the program, especially because I have had problems with my knees.

My weight is fluctuating but I think it's about to start dropping again soon. I gained a lot and now I have to lose it. But once it's gone it's gone, of that I am totally determined. My amazing and inspirational husband has lost 20lbs in 2 months! Isn't that awesome? He is working out 2 hours a day and eating a very healthy and reduced calorie diet. He is so awesome to have around for inspiration and support!

In the morning, we start working out with kettlebells together. I'm super excited. Then tomorrow evening it's our run.

I keep finding myself in excited anticipation of working out... That's a change!
