Update

I haven't been awesome in working out. Last week I ran on Monday and Wednesday, but on Friday got busy with other stuff. Despite that, this week I decided to bump up to week 2 in my podcast, and it was easier! Hopefully I will keep making progress. I think my cousin Erin and I have decided to run the Chicago Marathon next October, which means lots of training to get to that point. Hopefully I can do a 5K after this 2 month program and keeping working up. I want to hike Humphrey's (the 12,000 ft mountain here in Flag that can be a tough hike) and do a Rim-to-Rim in the Grand Canyon which is about 23 miles, and can take from 6-10 hrs. I don't have workout times worked in on Tuesdays because I have to be to school early, but tomorrow I will run (though we are expecting snow! I will have to bundle up!) and then hopefully Thursday I can lift. I really need to get back into lifting, doing squats, lunges, all that stuff that I am missing in my routine now.

I do need to start eating a better balanced diet. I am eating too many carbs, and not enough green and protein. I should start doing more meal planning and actually stick to it.

Any good recipe ideas for well-balanced meals/menus?
