Oops

See, I am obviously bad at keeping up with this thing! I just KNEW I would be. I must try harder!

So on Sunday we ran our first 5K together! Yeah, I say "together" but in actuality, we were not running together at all. Josh promptly left me in his dust. But that's ok! I figure I hold him back all the time so why not let him go all out during the race! He finished in 24 minutes and I finished somewhere in the 37 minute mark. Not tooo bad for a first 5K, but not good either. I was disappointed in myself, mostly because I ended up having to walk probably 1/2 a mile throughout the race. Not all at once, but I had to walk a few times. In my defense, the course was much more hilly than we'd been running, it was 4:00 pm (WHO does a race that late in the day?!) and I was wearing pants instead of shorts. See, we'd been running in the evenings and it was much cooler out, it just so happened that this Sunday, of all days, it decided to stay warm instead of cooling off. So I was dying hot. Oh well. Lesson learned.

I'm glad that is behind me. I was miserable the whole time, but for some reason, I am now looking forward to running another one! Why you ask? I HAVE NO IDEA!!!! I think I just want to prove that I CAN run an entire 5K and then maybe, one day, I will move on to a 10K! But let's not get too far ahead of ourselves there.. ;)

We haven't worked out since the race on Sunday because on Monday, I was lazy and Josh was sore, and then last night, Tuesday, Josh didn't feel well and I was again lazy and didn't feel like working out by myself. TONIGHT we're jumping back on the wagon!

Marriage is the coolest

Ok. I forgot to post yesterday. This may take some getting used to!

We didn't work out last night because it was our night off. Instead, we spent the night with a bunch of our friends and a bunch of engaged folks. We were teaching them everything we know on marriage and what we've learned. Now, if you know me and Josh, we're perfect so we didn't have any mistakes to tell them about, of course. ;) kidding of course.

But seriously, while we may have our occasional issues, we've been incredibly blessed to have such a wonderful marriage. We really didn't have a lot of major issues when we got married. The "merging" was really a painless effort and things were much easier than they were before marriage! I guess if it's true that the first few years of marriage are the hardest, then we've got an easy road ahead of us! Wait.. what's that saying? "Pride comes before the fall", right? I guess I better not get too cocky about it ;) Anyway, I just praise the Lord every day for blessing lil 'ol me with such a wonderful man as my husband!

Ok. Enough mush. Back to work!

Hello

Ok. So I think at some point in everyone's life, we all want to drop a few pounds and get in shape. Am I right? There are a multitude of reasons we all go through this and mine are no different than anyone else's. I keep hearing the best way to do this is to keep a food journal. I've never been very good at journaling (or blogging as I guess it's called now) but I'm going to give it a shot! In true Brangelina fashion, I'm totally and officially making this my Flog.. which not only is the cheesy combination of "food" and "blog" but also what admitting all of this is going to be like... a true flogging! I'm going to try to post some of what I'm doing to shape up, maybe a few recipes, and well... just random "whatever" stuff! (Hey, I'm just a bored admin.. I have to have SOMETHING to fill my days, right?!)

Check back for more Flogging in the near future!
