Busy, busy...

I've had really busy weekends for a while now. Fun, but I miss lazing around and having nothing to do. It's going to be like this for a few more weeks too.

I missed my WW meeting this weekend, long story, I wanted to go but it just didn't work out because we left for Orlando Saturday morning. John and I had fun in Orlando at Disney. We went to Typhoon Lagoon and Magic Kingdon.

For a NSV I am proud to report I only used 3 WAP! Horray!


As of Saturday I cut out all diet soda. Now, I know it's only been about two days but it's not easy. It's such a go to item for me that it's rough. John suggested I get some La Croix sparking water which is no sodium, no caffeine and no artificial sweeteners. It's helping so far but I still miss Sprite Zero. :( I plan on sticking to this!

I also got some new healthy snack and breakfast items so I am eating less processes crap and healthier stuff all around.

For instance I will have an apple with 2tbsp of Naturally More PB tomorrow for a snack instead of popcorn or chips or other crap. It's a little higher in points but I can make it work.

So you may be thinking, "Danielle, don't you have issues with PB?" I do. However I came up with a new plan. Whenver I want to splurge or snack at night or other times I have to ask myself if I am hungry five times. That gives me time to really think about it and make a smart choice. :)

Last thing, I completed my first of four 25 min. runs Friday. YAY! Tomorrow I will do the second. :)

Okay, my wrist is hurting from typing. Nooooo. :( I better go!

Summer is here.

Well, for those of you who don't know, I live in Florida. This weekend summer hit us and it hit us hard. The highs were in the low 90s and the humidity was out of control. I want to crawl in a hole (an air conditioned hole) and not emerge until October. Ugh.

The humidity in Florida is what makes it the worst. It's like living in a sauna. :(

Anyway, I don't think I'll be doing any outdoor running for a while. :( It stinks too because I enjoyed it the one day last week when it was nice. Maybe I'll try it out in the mornings once or twice before the 5k.

So I am done with my interval running with Couch to 5k. That means from today on I run 25 min. with no breaks (walking) and over the next three weeks work my way up to 30 min. and from there I will work on speed.

I am not going to lie - I am nervous! I am scared I won't be able to make it 25 min. tonight on the treadmill.

I have been getting side splints the past two days and I don't know why! My friend suggested I try to eliminate soda (note: drinking one now). It's going to be hard. I said goodbye to caffeine a while back but I like some fizzy goodness in my day.

In other news, John and I are leaving for the Bahamas on Thursday! I CAN'T WAIT! I can't wait to swim and be in the Atlantis water park and snorkel! YAY!

My goal is to not gain weight while I'm there. I'm going to be mindful of what I'm eating and drink lots of water.

I will update at least once more before I go!
