Song of the day: Bruno Mars - Grenade
Ahhh, sleeping in! I slept until 8:36 and it felt awesome! We have a big day planned of shopping for things we'll need for Elliot's birthday party, but right now both Kyle and Elliot are napping :) I guess I've just kind of given up on working out and completely diving back into eating right this week. I'll consider it my adjustment period. I haven't eaten horribly, but it definitely hasn't been good. Kyle's gone again this next week, but thankfully only until Wednesday night, but I really need to push myself to eat right. And hopefully the weather works out so Elliot and I can go on walks!

Day 76 - lots of cake.
Song of the day: Relient K - Life After Death And Taxes
Well, yesterday didn't go exactly as planned... I fed Elliot breakfast, and had a good breakfast myself, then Elliot and I went and got Ethan. On the way back Ethan was really hungry so we stopped at KFC. I figured, 'Oh, what the heck, I'll just have a low-cal dinner.' So I had a chicken snacker and potato wedges. When we got back I fed Elliot then we all decided to take a nap. When Kyle got home he saw that everyone was napping and decided to join in. I finally woke up at 5:45 and started packing. We got to my parents about 8:45 and ordered pizza. I definitely went over my calorie count for the day, but whatever, I guess.
Today we have Kynzley's birthday party at noon, then we're celebrating my dad's birthday tonight (his birthday is Tuesday). So, lots of cake! Between the parties I'm going to go work out and do some strength training and my last day of c25k week 2 work out. I may do some extra cardio since I went over calories yesterday and will probably go over today as well. I've been having shin splints again in my right leg :/ but my new shoes will be here next week, so hopefully they'll help.

Day 75 - It's Finally Friday!
Song of the day: Vanilla Ice - Ice Ice Baby
The tacos we had last night were so good! We had ground turkey with a lower-sodium taco seasoning packet, and then I sauteed a red bell pepper, a green bell pepper, a jalepeno, and two small yellow onions. Kyle made the observation that he could tell we're eating differently because all of the vegetables were gone and there was still a ton of meat left. So true.
After all our TV shows I got dressed and went to Snap. When I got there I opened my bag and quickly realized I forgot one shoe. It's not like I forgot my headphones, I forgot a shoe. What to do? So I got back into my car, drove the 2.5 miles back home, went inside, got my shoe off the couch, and went back to Snap. I'm very very very proud of myself for going back! The whole way home I was going back and forth between just staying home or going to work out. Snap won out because I'm training for the 5k, I may not be able to work out Friday (today), and I knew that I would have to write on here that I gave up and didn't go. So, I went, and had a great work out!
Yesterday I did some research into running shoes. I stopped using my reebok easy tones for running, and that helped a bit with my shin splints, but the current shoes I'm using are about two years old. I have high arches and that causes me to walk on the outside of my feet (underpronation). When I run (or walk) my foot doesn't absorb the shock correctly and instead there's more shock absorption by my bone. This is also the cause of more shin splints. I'm sure there's a way more scientific way to explain this, but you can google it if you really want to know more, lol. Anyways, I did some research on which running shoes are best for my type of feet, and Asics has this great chart which their shoes that help you pick out which style is best for you. So last night I ordered their 'gel plus 2' shoes and they should be here next week! And by April 30th they should be broken in quite nicely!
Today Elliot and I are heading to Whitewater to go pick up Ethan and when Kyle is done with work we're all heading to West Salem! We plan on doing some DnD gaming tonight then Kynzley's first birthday party tomorrow! And you know what, I'm going to eat cake! Yum!
