Let’s move it, I like to move it, move it.

So in case you forgot, my sorella is getting married. This means I need to whip into shape in a mere 14 weeks so that I can impress the crowd with my good looks to distract from my nervous speech.

Anyways, so starting this week, I am going to be adding challenges here so that I can challenge myself to a more active lifestyle. It’s summer. It’s time to get moving.

Challenge 1: Walk 10,000 steps 7 days in a row (running included.)

This challenge is brought to you by my pedometer, which I bought a few months ago thinking it’d help me walk more. For a few weeks it did, but I need to have a goal to reach to get motivated. Normally my steps are around 1.5 miles, which is about 3,000 steps. Embarrassing. But that’s not including any running I’m doing. But I don’t run every day. So starting today, I am going to get my 10,000 steps (about 5 miles) in every day until next week.

Who’s with me?

Cat used my flower bed as a litter box. I’m gonna kill it, if I find it.

This is what my neighbor said to me as I walked by his apartment building this morning. (And contrary to what I’ve said in the past about meeting my older neighbors in the street, I was actually running early, if you can believe it.)

It was pretty hilarious, and I did all I could from laughing out loud.

I have found in the past few weeks that as I have started running outside, I have become more familiar with my neighborhood, and extended neighbors. Although I am still waiting on a route that doesn’t include a million lights (the much needed break while waiting for a light to change is doing nothing for my endurance) I am enjoying the path. I basically run to the gym, and back, which is about 1.6 miles, and is a hilarious thing, if you think about it. Running to the gym. But it’s been cool enough out to do so, so I am counting my blessings before I am punished by 90 degrees and have to hop on a treadmill.

The running, by the way, is going. I run a little further each time, and want to kill myself a little less. I have tried to mix up my iPod mix, but I need a little help (mixes? suggestions? anyone? hello?) and I also have tried to make sure I actually stretch before I leave so I don’t get halfway and have to embarrassingly have to stop and stretch in front of the police station that is about halfway. So, we’re working on it. Feet have been hurting less, although I tell you I don’t understand how one person can sweat that much. Also, Nikki, the headbands you gave me are magical, and I can’t believe I lived without them.

In other news, last night I had a salad for dinner that was giant, in the biggest Tupperware I own, because “losing weight for weddings” is officially on. No dressing, just veggies, nuts, and fruit. I am on this diet for the duration. Minus Thursday, when I plan on eating the rest of the cupcakes that Mary and Rebecca made, because I can because calories don’t count on the day of your birth.

Tonight we’re back to yoga, since Sunday yoga was canceled due to the gym reflooring it’s classroom. In the next few weeks, I’ll be venturing to a new yoga studio that I bought a GroupOn to, so we’ll see how that goes.

Crow, here I come. What are you up to?

Your entire team in a shopping cart.
