Day 3... Am I sure this is a GOOD decision?

Wow.  I looked at the weather for today with my fiance last night.  Wind gusts up to 44 miles an hour today.  Really?  That really doesn't sound fun at all.  Today I plan to work on things throughout the house since I'll probably get blown away if I work on stuff outside.  I've been thinking about gifts lately for christmas.  I think that I am going to try and make a majority of the gifts that we give people this year.  Hopefully it turns out okay.  As of last night, I still have hives.  I'm not sure what the problem is.  I know that I am really sick of having them though.

I found this really cool tool in my get healthy challenge.  It's a website called www.myfitnesspal.com.  It's pretty cool.  It lets you decide how much weight you would like to lose, lets you log your food intake, and lets you log your exercise.  Pretty neat.  Speaking of getting fit... check out my fiance's blog... http://the-running-challenge.blogspot.com/2011/04/off-to-running-start.html
Okay,  I'm getting hungry for some breakfast so lets look at my goals for today.  I'm thinking my running goal will be between 2 and 3 miles... I don't want to choose just one since the wind is so horrible and I won't know how I feel until I get out there.  The same strengthening workout as yesterday... crunches, push ups, and oblique bends. 

Also, I have some crafts that I would like to get put up on Etsy... so I am making a week-long goal of getting these items up on my Etsy shop.  I put two tutus up last night and one got no views, boo, but the other got seven views and someone put it in their favorite items list.  Pretty cool, huh!  Alright, I'm getting some breakfast.

OH... and be proud of me guys... I threw away, yes... THREW AWAY... the remaining puppy chow yesterday.  GO ME!!!

Adios

Well, I have done well today.  I decided after watching the wind all day to postpone my run until this evening.  I departed around 7 and ran 3 miles in 37:54.  According to my Garmin watch, I burned 404 calories while running.  My splits were 12:53, 13:10 (a solid half mile of this was into the wind), and 11:51.  I also did 50 crunches, 10 push ups, and 50 oblique bends with 6 pounds. 

According to myfitnesspal, if I keep up the good work I'll lose about 5 pounds in five weeks.  We'll see if things go as planned.  I was worried about not running during our honeymoon but since my soon-to-be-hubby is challenging himself to 365 days of running, that shouldn't be a problem.  When he runs, I'll run.  That was some pretty good news.  Again, you should definitely check out my lovebug's blog here: http://the-running-challenge.blogspot.com/2011/04/off-to-running-start.html

Well, it's time to shower and then relax.  I'm thinking about kicking back and reading some of the book I'm working on.  I'm currently reading James Patterson's The Murder of King Tut.  It's a pretty good read so far.  Day 3...SUCCESS!
