check me out.

remember when i said i started working out for my new years resolution? well, 2.5 months in, it's in full swing. it was a rough start, but thats alright.
jon has started working out with me. for the past month we've been consistently going 3-4 nights a week to the gym right behind our house. (literally. it's >100 yards away from our back door.)
it's going well. i honestly wish that my body would reflect all the hard work that i've put in, but i have to keep reminding myself of this:
(stupid pinterest)
i do notice differences and feel SO much better than i did at the beginning of the year. i constantly felt like i was trying to fit into my little sisters clothes. lizzie and i are training for a 5k using this schedule. we are on week three. it's been so good for us to be doing this together, it is such a good encouragement and gives us another reason to talk to each other besides about the bachelor! ha ha.
look what jon got me! i have been wearing the worst looking running shoes for over a year, so he helped me pick out these cuties and got me nike plus! i've only used it for a few days, but i love it! technology is something else, isn't it?
hopefully putting this all out there will help me stay on top of my workout resolution. we are training for a 5k, but don't have a 5k in sight...it is mostly just a way of getting in shape. jon and i DO have tentative plans for running a half marathon in august........wish us luck!

I'm so proud of you! You have always been good at doing healthy things. Like eating a whole pan of brownies... no but seriously. You ALWAYS have water with you. Which is super healthy. I have really always thought you were super healthy. I'm jealous of you and your drive to be fit. I just plan on being fat for the rest of forever. Good girl!
