April 16th, 2022 80 Ounces of water. Check!  Run at least one mile. Check!  Welp. Diet got the best of me. I still got out and ran a little under a mile and a half this afternoon, but wow was it hard. I guess candy and pizza don’t mix with a great run. I did hit my running and water goal though so it’s a win! Hoping tomorrow is better!  Let the challenge continue! More HERE More Journal Posts HERE Pinterest Board HERE

April 15th, 2022 80 Ounces of water. Check!  Run at least one mile. Check!  Today was TERRIBLE! I challenged myself to run more than a mile today, challenge accepted and completed. However, I ate a huge sandwich and drank a large coke and felt terrible! Strong reminder that I need to get my diet in check if I want to keep this challenge up!  Again, I am proud of myself for getting out there and stepping up the challenge a little bit when I didn’t feel like it at all.  We have had some toddler sleep struggles over the past few weeks, and extra bad the last three days. Still…

April 14th, 2022 80 Ounces of water. Check!  Run at least one mile. Check!  Strength workout. Check!  It was hot and muggy out! And another night of very little sleep. I kept the run short again and the strength workout to a very short bodyweight workout. It felt really good to stay consistent even when everything around you was telling you to not do anything. I’m loving the feeling of accomplishing a task for myself each day. I can also feel the difference of consistent water intake. I usually drink a decent amount of water, but it’s always seems to be an every other day type of thing. The consistency…

April 13th, 2022 80 Ounces of water. Check!  Run at least one mile. Check! This is what my watch told me when I woke up this morning. Not what I was going for. A teething child called for a VERY long sleepless night. I kept it simple today. Went on a long walk with the kids to the zoo and then ran a simple mile at night.  I’ve been feeling really good! Even with no sleep I felt like I still had some energy today and my mental health stayed strong. That’s a win for me! Let the challenge continue!

April 12th, 2022 80 Ounces of water. Check!  Run at least one mile. Check!  I wasn’t feeling motivated today, but decided it was time to challenge myself a little bit. I did the same 5k loop I did the other day. It felt so good to push pass the thoughts of doing the minimum and running a little longer and faster. My watch told me I hit a new recent 5k record. I reset the records to this new challenge to give myself some excitement while I’m getting back into shape!  Let the challenge continue! More HERE More Journal Posts HERE Pinterest Board HERE

Week 2 – Day 1 Feeling strong! Week 2 starting strong. I was going to go for a longer run today, but after a busy weekend and a toddler not sleeping well, I kept it to a mile. Each run I’m feeling stronger and stronger. Loving the feeling.  As I’ve said a lot before. I’m loving this challenge!  April 11th, 2022 Drank 80 Ounces of Water Ran at least One Mile I have taken out the tracking of fasting blood sugar every morning and instead will be doing it once a week. I am working towards lowering my fasting blood sugar levels and once a week will be able to…

Day 6. Crushed! April 9th, 2022 80 Ounces of Water. Check!  Run at least one mile. Check!  Fasting Blood Sugar – 94. Check!  Another day checked off! I knew it would be a busy day so I made it a point to get out for a run first thing. I wish I could make morning workouts a thing more often, but kid schedules make that difficult. Someday.  Today I went out for a run telling myself that I could turn around at a half mile and just do the minimum mile if I wasn’t feeling it. I felt strong and the weather was perfect. So I ran a 5k! Felt…
