April - A new Month, A new beginning

I love the changing seasons, and here we are into Spring already.  The time does fly.  Baby Max is 15 months old today, and I am making some progress on my goals.  The sun is shining, the weather is a mild 70 degrees and I am feeling a renewal in my spirit. 

I got my tax refund today and have made some progress on paying down my high credit card.  With only 1876.00 left to go, I should be able to do that by the end of the year.  Which was my goal.  I am still not saving money, but not using a credit card and paying it off will be saving in the long run.  I hate money.  I need to get a better budget in place, and keep track of where my money goes.  But I am making progress. 

Weight loss:  Down 6 lbs.  This is exciting, and frustrating all rolled into one.  The advocare program is great and I lost the first 5 lbs really fast.  But now I seem to be fighting every single ounce that comes off.  I started day 11 today, and I added in a lot of vitamins, and a protein shake for breakfast.  The shake is pretty good.  I blended it with ice and water.  Lunches are a green salad with lots of veggies and today I mixed it up and made a chicken stir fry, with broccoli, peas, and some cabbage stuff.  I can't wait to try it. 

Running:  I got in a full 3 mile run without stopping on Saturday.  I loved it, I felt great, it was an awesome run.  So it is coming together, but probably won't be ready for a full half marathon run by June.  I am hoping to just get to six miles and then walk run the rest of it.  We will see how training goes. 

So I am making progress, it just isn't fast, and I am an instant gratification type of gal.
