This is the beginning of a beautiful relationship…
I took my Garmin out for a quick run last night (after SREDDING) and it was great. I loved using it during my run (more accurate than my Nike+), but I really loved coming home and getting all kinds of stats. The wireless logging of info is great. I’m excited to play with the virtual running buddy function as well a other training options.
How can I import certain stats from my Garmin home page?
After a series of ups and downs lately about a number of things, I’ve decided to try and CONTROL the things I can ACTUALLY control. Yes exercise and what I eat are at the top of the list, but my finances has always been on the list, but I don’t do well with it.I’m trying to cut back on expenses so I can take more chunks out of my debt.
Today I “downgraded” my gym membership. I’ve been a member for 3+ years and have been paying $49.99 a month. Well they are running a special for $19.99 a month and I was able to opt into that. The only thing chaning about my membership is the price. $30 a month in my pocket. WINNING
I am also planning on calling my cable/internet company to see if I can get a “back to school” deal – I’ve done that the past 2 years. The deals are usually good for 6-9 months than the price increases. With the special I am looking at I could be saving $37 a month.
Next month I am going to “freeze” my netflix, which I have done before. I also plan on trying to sell more of my old clothes to my favorite consignment shop.
Got other money saving tips? send them my way!
This may be a silly question, but I was planning on doing each level of the 30 day shred for 10 days before moving up. Is that was those of you who did it did? Also when you moved up a level did you do level 1 AND 2 or just 2?
Oh and I weighed my makeshift weights – a jar of tomato sauce and a large can of canned pumpkin – both are 2.2 lbs!
Two new running shirts I got for 55% off AND had a $15 coupon, so it was like buy 1 half off get one free!
I needed another running tank and I just loved the back (shown) of the shirt on the right.
Still charging/setting up the Garmin, but I did knock out level 1 day 4 of shred!
YAY my Garmin is here and doesn’t have any defects at first glance!
I multitasked this morning by running 3.2 miles round trip to the post office to pick up this bad boy! Exercise and errands combo FTW
Now I’m about to do shred level 1 day 3!!
I had a work event until 7:30pm and only worked out twice this week, so at 8pm on a Friday I was at the gym pounding out 3.1 miles on the treadmill and then came home to do Level 1 Day 2 of Shred.
I feel great. I feel like ME again.
So I reordered Garmin from Amazon last week, it was delivered today, except I wasn’t there to sign for it. So I have to go to the post office tomorrow and get it. I just want this bad boy strapped to my wrist already. I’m hoping and praying my new one doesn’t have any defects.
I also have my eye on a half marathon in November, but more on that next week…

I love orange and I love this dress that my sister gave me for my birthday. Out of the 17 dresses I own 5 are orange or predominately orange.
Note: Check out that form in the behind the back picture. That’s talent!
Today was a day of FIRSTS!
First real outdoor run in months (a hot and sweaty 2 miles).
First day of the first level of shred (which i just took out of the plastic despite buying it in December).
I feel great!
Last week: 194.4
This week: 190.4
Change: -4
Good to see this summer pounds falling off. I just got back to eating right and working out for an hour 4x a week.
Here’s hoping I keep up a good momentum!
