Actually, my non-pod gave up on me halfway through, so i just ran longer intervals instead.. which makes me feel a little better prepared for week 4. i have my first 5k coming up during week 5 (I plan to stay at a steady jog for as long as possible)... my real 5k should be in september. and after that, it looks like on to freeway to 10k!! And after that, the half marathon… YAY! :)

How I did it: I'm taking my mind off of goals that are further away than today. I'm thinking differently about things... how can I change what is on my plate today. How can I make my life better today? I think it will make me less miserable, not having to worry about things that I can't do anything about, or will take a sustained effort from me over time. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I started going to massage centers located in strip malls, they are much cheaper, and I don't miss the shi-shi atmosphere of spas. I also started finding out which of my friends were willing to give me a massage in exchange for one, as well! Read how I did it…
How I did it: I decreased my list of things from 34 to 10. I took out any goal that included the words 'stop', 'don't' or absolutes. I re-did my goals so that they were something I could feel successful with THAT day, and do something about even if it was the stroke of midnight. Instead of 'exercise regularly', I could 'take deep breaths' or 'do 5 pushups'. I didn't want goals that seemed so far away anymore...like writing a book, or reading the Bible … Read how I did it…

i am finally working on this, thank GOD!! it took so long for my happiness to become my own priority. mostly because it had to get really serious before i paid it much attention. i’m taking the steps i need to take in order to ensure that things get better for me.. and i am finally learning to love and appreciate myself the way i truly should. i feel like i got this for a while, but once life got busy again, i went to the backburner. i’m discovering now, however, that if i’m not there for me, the rest of this life thing won’t work. so, its taking a lot of praying and ‘one day at a time’ steps.. but they are finally heading in the right direction!
I got my wisdom teeth removed two days ago. Before my appointment, I really prayed and visualized the surgery and post-care going well. So far, I have had a very fortunate recovery. I currently feel a only slight pain that can be best described as numb, dull, and not a big deal. I also feel very sleepy, and like I should not make any huge decisions or moves in the next 48 hours. Here is my advice:
1) Save up for it, or do it while you have good insurance
2) Find a good buddy to take you there and back
3) Make plenty of soft foods for yourself so that you don’t feel left out of the food fun when you get your teeth removed Memorial Day weekend!! (oh wait, that last one is for me!)
Boa Sorte :0
