I was doing Les Mills Pump for a while, but had to put that on the back burner, because I wasn't going to drive up to Michigan with my weights in my trunk. We already had too much else to bring with us this year. But I will be back to it when I get back. And I may even try a class at my gym!
I decided before I drove up here that my exercises of choice this summer were going to be running and PiYo. Neither need a lot, if any equipment, and are extremely portable.
I got up here, and allergies set in. I expected them to happen, as they always do when I get to a new place, but usually they even out within a day or two. But not this year and not up here. Oh boy, the cottonwood is horrible this year. I cannot figure out the correct allergy medicine that help, and essential oils I bought for my allergies just isn't helping yet. But I will be trying to diffuse them, once I get a diffuser.
Anyway, I hadn't started either programs yet... Until this morning! I did it. I made myself get out of bed and out the door for my first run of the summer... And really first run since the Disney Princess Half Marathon weekend.
I only did 2 miles, and they were super slow, but we all have to start, or restart, somewhere, right? It felt good, short, but good.
I can remember when running a mile felt like it would take forever. And a 5k was even longer! There was a time when I couldn't imagine going for more than 2-3 miles. But wow, has that changed. And it feel good.
Maybe I will become a distance runner after all. My goal is to get my mile time to around 10 minutes. I told a friend of mine that I would run a 10k with her in October. And she runs about a 10 minute mile.
But of course, I am also wanting to thin out and lose weight, gain muscle, and be healthy. I haven't changed much in my eating. I am still eating in three's, for the most part, and eating several meals a day. I feel great, in part to eating right, but also because of Thrive by Le-Vel. I can't even tell you how much it has impacted my life.
I have more energy, feel better, don't get the 2 o'clock slump, and have the energy to play with my kids, do the laundry, run, exercise and just live a happier, healthier life.
What plan are you following? Do you use supplements or vitamins to help you feel better?
