I really need more sleep...

The hubby and I have been staying up way too late lately. Christmas totally threw us off. Instead of falling asleep at 10 its now turned to midnight. So when my alarm goes off at 6 am for my run I DO NOT want to get up. I end up laying there wanting to sleep and willing myself to get up and go until 6:30 or 6:45 like this morning. Meaning I have less time to run which stresses me out. Totally defeats the whole purpose of me running to de-stress.

Plus when I go early there are like no cars around which is nice because Utah drivers SUCK. This morning some idiot came super close to me even though I had moved all the way over and there were no other cars. If I hadn’t moved WAY over he would have clipped me. I mean SERIOUSLY!? WTH?! No respect and just complete stupidity. It definitely spooked me though so I stayed closer to home after that. I just got my Road ID and plan on wearing that every dang day. Chances of getting hit here in Utah seem to be pretty dang likely. It’s too bad that some people just don’t give a crap what anyone else is doing.

Ok end rant :)

the 10 lb. race

So the hubby has watched me get incredibly lax with my diet and exercise this holiday season. I kept telling him and myself that I had to under control and was just having a little fun. Which yes, I was having fun but I had gained 4 lbs and was starting to feel pretty down.

Well my amazing hubby challenged me to a 10 lb race. He wants to gain 10 lbs of muscle and I want to lose 20 lbs, but we’ll start with 10 :). We have one weigh in a week(which was today) and there is a prize for the one who wins. Whoever loses(my hubby ;))has to buy the other(that WILL be me :)) the new iPhone 4S! Now he has the 4 with a big crack in the screen so he really wants it and I still have the 3GS SO I really want.
Basically AWESOME MOTIVATION for the both of us! We’re both VERY competitive so this should be fun :).

This morning I got up at 6:20 am and went to run on the treadmill and it was HARD. I am having a really hard time enjoying the treadmill. It took me 30 minutes to get 2.5 miles in...I had three 3 minute walk breaks too...So I am struggling but I refuse to give up. I miss running outside SO bad, but it is SO COLD out. I should just suck it up and run outside...First I need to get some running pants because I may lose my legs to frostbite if I run in my capris ;). Also NO KNEE pain woohoo!! Only thing is that my shoes HURT my toes :( They feel as if I have rug burn all over them...OUCH. Hopefully Santa will bring me some new running shoes :) I promise I've been good ;)!
