Stick with it Saturday: week 2

Well, this is short and sweet. I didn't get as much exercise in this week due to nasty rain and then white out conditions.  Gotta love upstate New York!  I did, however, get up to 1.5 miles with a stretch of 1/2 mile I ran without stopping.

Linking up with Sam this week!

Stick with it Saturday: 1st of the year

This week my goal was to start my exercise routine.  I decided that in order to keep this commitment, I will be training for a 5k that will be taking place in my area the end of May.  I started out the week with a 2.5 mile run/walk with the local running group.  I had a friend there who supported me and stuck with my slow self when she is able to go twice as far without having to do the whole run/walk but run all of it.  I walked/ran on Tuesday and Thursday a mile each time and on Monday I did Wii Fit Yoga, Friday was Wii Fit combination routine.  I took a rest on Wednesday because it is one of my busier days and you are supposed to throw in some rest so as not to over do it.  All in all, I am very glad that I have started this.  I plan on running/walking 1.5 miles as I slowly build my stamina.  I'll be linking over with Sam's Noggin.

Next week, I plan on doing the same as this past week, but increasing the distance to 1.5 miles and ending at 1.75 miles.  I also hope to increase my running and decrease the walking within those miles.  

Here is a photo from the group run: (I'm the one on the left, my friend Lauren is the one in pink.)  :)

3 in 30 Challenge

I've been seeing this challenge over at Sam's Noggin for quite a while now and thought that it was about time for me to utilize it myself.  So, for the next year, in order to help accomplish my New Year's resolution I am implementing this challenge.  I chose to break it down into three categories: personal, blog, homeschool.

1. My personal goal for January: 

-I am training for a 5k using an 8 week schedule.  Starting January 2nd.  I will also be linking to Sam's Noggin Stick with it Saturdays as well.

-I'll be reading the Bible in 90 Days starting January 16th

-Starting the 31 Days to Clean on the 2nd, been in a funk and my home has suffered.

2. Blog: Bring balance to it by including more homeschool related posts.  This means writing a weekly review of  what we did the past week, most likely on either Saturday or Sunday.

-I am also going to be writing a tutorial for the Intrepid Thread as well.  Rather nervous about it, and excited as well.  

3. Homeschool:  Get ourselves back into a routine.  I've been in a funk and it's affected the kids.  Adjust our schedule and commit to sticking to it.  This will mean less time sitting at the computer reading blogs, looking at my tablet for the newest tweet and refraining from computer time until after my other obligations have been met.

Happy New Year to everyone!
