Weekend Recap & Big Week Ahead!

There wasn't a whole lot going on in the Guy household this weekend.  Graham worked on Saturday, so I laced up my new shoes I got for losing 30lbs and hit the pavement.  I did walking/jogging intervals for about a mile and then walked another 4.4 miles. 

I had intentions of signing up for a local 5k next month, but I'm not sure I'll be able to continue the training required until I lose some more weight.  It sounds like an oxy moron I know, can't run until I lose more weight.  But while doing the 5k training program I had been doing to get ready for The Color Run, I began to have pain in my hips.  Not the kind of pain that comes from just doing more than your body is used to, but actual pain.  It was making it hard to sleep at night and even harder to get up in the morning.  I'm not sure if it's an injury, but it rarely comes while walking.  I'll just keep trying!

I only ended up working out 4 days last week.  It's usually more like 5-6 days a week, but I got home on Friday and just didn't have it in me, so I took another rest day.  The wind is going to be ridiculous here for the next couple of days, so I will have to make myself do some workout dvd's; probably Zumba!.  I love zumba, especially at home, but nothing compares to being able to get out in the sunshine. 

This is going to be a pretty busy week. 

Today is my Grandma's (Mom's mom) 85th birthday.  She lives in Colorado, so unfortunately I don't get to celebrate it with her.  She is actually the last living grandparent I have, besides on Graham's side. 

Thursday is my 28th birthday and I can't wait.  I'm such a little kid when it comes to them, quite honestly.  I love having birthdays and I hope I never get to the point that I dread them.  I'm also doing a little giveaway that day, so there will be a post about that soon after.  =)

Saturday is my final Biggest Loser weigh-in for the competition with the Halliburton guys.  I'm fairly certain I won't be walking away with the prize money, but I am definitely happy about my progress so far.  And I feel good about how hard I've worked for the last 3 months.  I'll have a post up about how that goes as well!

Have a great week!
