So I'm on week 5 of my 10K training! I'm still at the point where I feel like I'm doing more walking than running, but the fact that I've stuck with it consistently is major!  Because sticking with any kind of exercise routine is a struggle for me.

I'm a week behind because of the flu/bronchitis combo but other than that I've only missed one day. One!  *happy dance

It's a 14 week program, so I have a long way to go but I'm feeling good about it. I definitely need to get my speed up though. I am so slow. Like, super slow.  But I'm outta shape so what else can I expect?  I'm lugging around a lot of weight...and that's no joke.  I'm at my max weight and running 10 pounds heavier makes a huge difference. Huge.

In addition to running, I've been cooking.  Like real cooking. I got some recipes off a website that a friend shared with me a long time ago and so far, everything has turned out great. Easy recipes, good food and low calories. That's a win for everyone. Except my kiddos, because they've had to suffer the injustice of being provided several meals containing broccoli.  You can check out the recipes at skinnytaste.com, I highly recommend it.
