Week 2 (of 52)- 2021 edition

January Challenge- spend no extra money- going great! Really trying to not buy stuff lol. It doesn’t help when my skincare “kit”, mascara and eyebrow pencil all seemingly need to be replaced this month 😳😒

Monday didn’t start out soooo great, I woke up on the wrong side of the bed. It was so cold I didn’t do any walking and the pup wouldn’t budge and go outside. I barely moved.

Tuesday– I ate so badly 😂 like oreos and pretzels for dinner, ok!? Haha and cheezits! Nothing sounded good, I wasn’t even that hungry, just like bored and Snacky. And so I snacked all day and didn’t even have a proper dinner.

But I did fit in a 1 mile run that I did in under 9 minutes, so that was EXCELLENT!!

Wednesday – it was a short day at school! Only had a few assignments and I pushed for a quick finish so we could go out on a hike. Or really, a nature walk – I don’t like that word much though, I think it almost condescends our activity. So, HIKING it is! We were out for 50 minutes, but strava says we were moving for ~36 minutes and we walked 1 mile. Then we came home and I asked H to go on a bike ride so I could get a mile run in. And then it was rest and lunch time.

Thursday– we walked around and went to a different complex and met a dog named Sweetie and a nice old man. That night my heel hurt really badly! I wasn’t wearing good shoes for walking, and I guess my old feet can’t take it anymore!

Friday– abs and random body work that actually left lefts a little sore on Sunday!

Saturday– run with Amanda! It was so much fun and great chats! This was my FIRST time feeling like I had a friend here! And I spent $9.90 on chipotle. So I didn’t meet my goal of no extra spending this month but I really needed the fuel… so I’ll continue to work on that goal. If I can only spend $10 extra I’ll consider that a WIN!

Sunday- the boys wanted to fish Fairhope and I didn’t want to sit around doing nothing. Story of my life. Why don’t I fish with? I would need a fishing permit and then all the gear so it’s just better and cheaper if I don’t. So I hopped on my legs and did some run/walk intervals. Run 1/2 a mile, walk for 2 minutes. It was nice and my average speed was around 9:45 during the runs… which is better than I thought it was, I felt like I was going really really slow. Of course garmin takes the average of the run and walks, so 11:13 ya have it. And I’m not mad about it.

Total run mileage: 9.37 miles (just a little less than last week, oooook! We got ourselves two consistent weeks!

Next week my goals are: get dressed/ get out of pajamas and sweats every morning! And get active- at least 10 minutes a day (outside of a quick river walk)
