So...started what you may be saying. I have officially started couch25k, my training to be able to run a 5k. Im hoping that since Im announcing it that it will be sort of an accountability and motivation. :) When I started I thought this was going to be easy...running for a minute and walking for 3, thats not hard. WRONG!! Its alot harder than I thought. Now I know why they said only start out with 30 minutes. But I can say successfully that my friend and I did it!! It felt so good to have started, the problem now is keeping it going! I am asking everyone for help..ya I know I dont do that often..keep me accountable!
On another note. Today before I went for my run I thought I would have half a peanut butter sandwich to get a little something in my stomach but not a big meal. I was curious and thought that I would see how many calories were in the peanut butter. I should have never done that!! I love peanut butter and when I eat it I use a ton! Not anymore! There are 190 calories in 2 tablespoons of peanut butter!!!! So I have basically been eating over 400 calories in my sandwich. WOW!! Guess I need to find another kind, huh.
I hope everyone had a wonderful day and got outside to enjoy the awesome weather!!

Actually peanut butter is pretty good for you. Look at mike, he eats it all the time. it helps keep his energy up. It will help you too. Just do it in moderation.
Good for you with the 5K training. I admire people who run, but it's just not in me to do. I am not a runner...my breathing gets so out of whack...sounds and feels like I'm going to die! Maybe having runner Liz nearby is helpful...she is a die hard runner, as I'm sure you know.
And as far as the PB&J goes. I love it and it is quite the reality check when you realize the calories/fat in PB, but still well worth it once in a while.
Hope you've been enjoying the weather :-)
