Working out is working for me

It's been awhile (again).  Apologies, it just seems that blogging gets put on the back burner!

Since we last spoke, I have joined Weight Watchers (and am doing fantastic on that), and have started the fabulous Couch to 5K program.  In case you've never heard of that, it's a training program (free!) designed to literally get you off the couch and running a 5K in nine weeks.  I just started week 2 of the training and I already see a difference in my stamina.

I hate running/jogging.  It's never been a pleasant activity for me, and so I'd just rather not even partake.  However, since starting Weight Watchers, I've discovered that I need to get my butt in gear and actually DO something, not just eat better.  Granted just eating better has lost me 13lbs already, but I really want to get toned, and I REALLY want to RUN the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure this year.

Quilt #1 is still in progress.  El Diablo and I haven't seen much of each other, though.  I was waiting on some backing fabric which just recently cropped up and will work beautifully, however my original plan for a border was a bit busy so I have to save my money to buy some new fabric for a border.  Hopefully soon.  I should just start on Quilt #2 so I can get the top done, but I haven't had a whole lot of time.  Maybe once the summer is over.  It's really been a crazy one this year!

Anywho, I'll try to keep updated on my progress to the 5K.  Until then, happy tidings!
