About Me

My photo
I'm Coralyn, a Californian native. I am mother to a crazy 4 year old girl named Madison, a baby on the way, and a wrinkly Shar-pei. My husband is in the Army and we have moved from California to Hawaii and from Hawaii to beautiful Colorado. I'm a stay at home mom and student/art major. I love painting and drawing and hope to share some of these things with you throughout my blog along with other random moments in my life.

Restart

So, Remember way back when I started the couch to 5k?
it was a couple months ago. and No, I didn't finish it, I got about 3/4 done with the entire program before I gave up. What had happened was I had reached my prepregnancy goal which was 145lbs, then things came up like vacation, and rain and so on... I just wasn't motivated anymore.


So Madison is 9months old now and I'm actually down to 137. Which is awesome, but what isn't awesome is that I don't FEEL in shape, and I don't feel like I have a lot of energy, and I haven't worked out in 2 months.

So today I decided I would get off my butt and instead of taking Madison on a walk in her pink car buggy thing, I would bust out my old friend the jogging stroller.


It didn't go so well. I went from being able to run 3.5 miles straight in about 25 minutes to making it only a few blocks and wheezing for air. WHAT HAPPENED!?

Thus I need a new plan of action, and a new goal.. one that I wont get too bored of like couch to 5k.

I'm going to sign up for a class once a week to take at the gym
I'm going to work out a minimum of 3 times a week.
and my new goal is to tone up and get down to 131lbs, which brings me to a very healthy BMI of 20.5

I'm going to give myself until October 1st, wish me luck!
