Twenty Minutes
I finally feel like I can officially say I run. Today I did Week 5 Day 3 of the C25K and I ran for twenty minutes straight. With a 5 min warm up and 5 min cool down sandwiched between, I covered 2.5 miles! Whew.
I am so proud of myself. My mom sent me a cup in the mail that says "Bad Ass" and today I filled it with water after my run. :)
Hubby and I went out to dinner with friends last night at Texas Roadhouse. I had 3 oz of steak (left half of it there), a baked potato w/butter and sour cream (I realized after the fact that the sour cream would have been sufficient and tried to scrape some of the butter out), and green beans. Also, I will admit to having a cocktail.
Today, once I shower and get ready, we are going in to town to have lunch, catch a movie, and then see what kind of sales are going on. I am going to try on some tall boots at stores to see what I like and what fits me. I don't get paid until the 20th, but hubby knows I want some tall boots. He's so good to me!
Here's the meal plan for today:
B: banana, water, chocolate milk (to refuel after the run--I hate hate hate protein powder so I just drink milk instead)
L: Ruby Tuesday for soup and salad
Snack: popcorn and diet soda at the movie
D: greek chicken pasta (homemade using The Fresh 20 recipe)
Dessert: watermelon MMMMmmmm, the last of summer's bounty
Question: Has anyone tried using that powdered peanut butter (PB2) in their milk instead of protein powder? I like peanut butter and I thought it might taste good since I don't like the whey protein.

And watermelon is so good for you, too! :)
I've used the PB2 before. You can try adding it to milk, but, it's sort of gritty/chalky so it may not taste so hot or mix in well. I've mixed some into plain yogurt with a little Truvia before and liked it!

Thats amazibg, I'm jealous! I'm on week 4 for the second time. I wasn't as strong or confident as I was with previous weeks so I'm repeating it. I'm on day to and have increased my speed and feel much more confident! Keep up the good work I'll be looking for updates :0)

Great run!
I don't think I would try PB2 just mixed into the milk but it might work if you stuck both in a blender and blended for a few seconds. CCK just posted a recipe for a chocolate protein milkshake that looks amazing and super easy - milk, soft tofu that she swears you don't taste, cocoa powder and a sweetener.

Hey runner girl! So awesome that you got 20 minutes in, woo hop!
I totally covet tall boots, TOTALLY! In some freakish genetic mishap, I have giant calves, no seriously, and not even the wide leg boots will fit my beefy, i mean athletic, calves. I can't wait to see your boots!
