Getting it All Together

My running took over my general health/workout blog so I'm starting a new one. I've been exercising for about 7 or 8 weeks now and things are going pretty well. I have lost about 15 lbs and have gone down 2 sizes! So this is the place I can put all my info on exercise and food or whatever.

Running has been a great thing for me I have kept a blog just on running http://workitout-kf.blogspot.com/. I plan on running my first race this September. I want to take it slow so I don't get injured, so I should be good to run a 5k in a decent time by then.

I've also been strength training but very inconsistently. Now that I'm trying to get it all organized, I'm more accountable for all exercise. My new plan is to do strength training 3 days a week and running four days. Each having there own days, alternating strength, run, strength, run..... I think these changes will make it easier to fit exercise into my mornings.

My food intake has also been a focus of mine for a few weeks. I log all my food I eat for the day onto a program I have called "Weight by Date Pro." There I can track and plan meals as well as exercise and daily activity. Then it calculates your calorie deficit so you know if you are eating the correct amount of food in the right portions. I love having tools!
