Up with the cranky daughter. Jenn's at church playing for worship.
Haven't eaten yet. Need to plan out some meals for the week so we can go shopping today. Thankfully I get free lunches at my job and they have lots of healthy options.
We're looking into a membership at the Meriden YMCA. We'd pay more money for both Jenn and I to sign up. But, the YMCA has so many more programs and options, plus cheap childcare if Jenn and I wanted to go together, on top of it...they have a pool, and showers if I wanted to hit that up before work.
Was on the website www.coolrunning.com They have some great tips on how to start running. Since my goal is a Half Marathon (with maybe a 5k sprinkled in this spring)...I think my exercise plan is going to reflect that. Lots of Cardio, and core and leg strength training.
I've also begun thinking about each food I eat, and what the caloric intake is. It's really opened my eyes to simple things I would eat during the day and just how bad they are for you. Like this little Chicken Kiev things I would pick up at Aldi...500 calories for this little stinkin thing. Crazy!
