Weight loss.....money....clothes

Yesterday I did more work in organizing my closet. OMG!!!!! I found more tops that are still new with tags on. There are bottoms that don't fit anymore because I gained a bit of weight in the past few years. The tops fit so I'll be wearing those. As for the bottoms, well I need to continue working on running and other exercise so I can lose some weight. I refuse to buy new clothes at my current size.

Still running

Running is cheap, I work up a good sweat and burn lots of calories. Today's training called for a 1.5 mile run. However, my legs are tired. I'm switching it to Monday. My new running sneakers by Saucony are absolutely awesome. Bought a new dri-fit shirt yesterday at Target for less than $20. This brings my dri-fit shirt total to 3. This is enough for now. Once the weather starts to get cold I'll buy more running clothes.

I'm running

woohoo. Last week I started the Jeff Galloway 5K training program. I was so excited to hit the pavement. Running has been a goal of mine for a while. My knees are finally co-operating (long story). The program calls for a one mile run the first two Sundays. My first mile was 15:37 and my second mile was 14:14. You might ask why is she so excited??? Well because I can run.
Stay tuned.

Running sneakers: $117.00

Running shorts: $49.00

Hitting the pavement: Priceless

The year is halfway done. It's time for me to sit down and calculate how much I would have to throw at my student loan each month to pay off by 12/31/2012. I really don't want to carry this student loan into 2013.
