I started really running in September when I started training for my first 5k. I weighed 132. I am currently at 126, which I am very happy with. I did not start running to lose weight, I just started to get more in shape. I also changed my diet, and that helped my weight loss. 

Breakfast today- Honey bunches of oats with 1% milk


Lunch: what lunch? we forgot to eat lunch again. I don't know what we were doing. We were home all day. I re-organized our pantries.. trailer living does not leave much storage space. Cooking takes up a lot of space... ugh. 


Dinner: Chipotle Baja Pork Chops (yum)


Recipe: Chipotle Baja Pork Chops:

4-6 Pork Chops  ( I used 4)
Lawrys Chipotle Baja sauce (it's in the BBQ sauce aisle)
Potatoes- chopped/quartered
Carrots- sliced


Put pork chops in crock pot, cover in Chipotle Sauce. 


Chop up potatoes & carrots. I left the peel on my potatoes- put the potatoes & carrots in the crock pot, cover with more Chipotle sauce.


I added 1/4 cup of water and stirred everything together.


Cook on low for 2-4 hrs.


Lawrys makes several different types of dressing/sauces. I plan on trying several of the other tastes. Chris really liked this recipe. It was REALLY quick & easy.

Last night we went to Bass Pro Shop and I got a new running jacket, yay! This is not a great picture-- but its a cute little jacket, that was on sale. They had a lot of sales yesterday. I could have went crazy..

Goals for February. 


Maintain my healthier eating regimen. I am really enjoying all this cooking, and looking up new, healthier recipes. I think Chris is enjoying it too. We both like a lot of different kind of foods, so this has been fun experimenting. Last night I spent a few hours on a food blog looking up new recipes. Check out my menu for the week on the side of my blog for what we are eating this week. 


Run 75-80 miles. I'm not sure how well this is going to work. My right knee has been hurting after I run my last few runs. I don't want to totally ruin my knee so I've been taking it kinda easy lately. I also don't know how much running my work schedule is going to allow.. 


Complete the 15k i am registered for in under an hour and a half. We'll see how that goes. I'm going to have to maintain a 9:40pace. We'll see. 


Gotta go. I forgot to get potatoes and popsicles when I went grocery shopping today =(      Gotta have potatoes for the potato soup. Doh!
