couch to 5k {weeks 2-4}

So, I'm still not {what I would consider} a runner.

But, starting up week 5 of the Couch to 5k,

I'm beginning to feel a lot better about my running.

I've had some hard days, where all I really wanted to do was fall on the ground,

but I've pushed through & finished every workout so far.

I'm really, really slow, and I tend to use up all my energy during

the first half of the workout, which means I really have to push to finish.

But, I'm determined to at least make it to the end of the program,

and hopefully, the more I run, the better I'll get.

The one thing I don't have is a good running playlist...

I've been running without any music, which can get a little boring.

So, that brings me to my question for today...

What song is a must for your running playlist?

hello, Monday.

hello, Monday.

hello, happiness because my husband is home!

hello, celebrating a year since my guy proposed

& three months of marriage!

hello, counting calories & running & trying to get fit.

hello, starting week five of the Couch-2-5k program.

{I'll update you on that another day...}

hello, lots of projects to work on!

I don't know about you, but I love making new things. :)

hello, new blog look!

I'm kinda in love with it.

hello, meal planning & list making.

hello, dishes & laundry & normal life.

hello, new week.

What are you saying hello to this week?

inspired by the lovely Lisa!

I adore him. I really, really do.

He's off on a trip the rest of this week {for work},

and I miss him so much already!

I'll be distracting myself by hanging out with friends,

shopping for new project supplies at Joanns,

having my sisters come over for a stay,

working on fun things.

I'm sure he'll be home before I know it. ;)

hello, 2012.

Hello, lovelies!

I hope your holidays were merry & bright...

I had a wonderful time celebrating with my husband & our families,

and I'm so excited for what the new year may hold. :)

{a his + hers journaling project}

I'm not great with New Year's Resolutions.

Staying motivated is hard for me.

But for 2012, this is what I want...

grow in Christ.

finish reading through the whole bible. pray more!

spend time with God every day.

get fit.

complete the C25k program. work out more. Wii Fit.

work on portion control. lose 10 lbs.

cut out soda.

at least temporarily. drink more water!

grow The Sweetest Petunia & Petunia Blooms.

watch less, read more.

write more letters.

& send encouragement cards just because!

create for the sake of creating

not because I have to, not just for the shop.

just for me.

date my husband.

making him feel loved, respected & important.

enjoy every moment.
