These Shoes Were Made For Running, But These Legs Were Not!

Day 421: Run ...I have no clue anymore

Well I can't believe I haven't posted in over a month.... however this month and 1 week has been the most hectic one I have ever had. Vacation was nice and I did run on the beach again and then did some yoga... it felt soooo good I didn't want it to end, but as all good things usually do... it did.

I haven't gone running for 12 days because I started my first year or teaching and I am teaching kindergarten of course! It has keep me so tired that I sleep a solid 8 hours every night now... Which is great for my body, but not so great for having a life outside of work. I also have a set of kids that definitely give me a run for my money. I haven't even gotten my first paycheck and I can already tell you that teachers do not make enough!!

But that is not what this blog is about! This blog is about being healthy and losing weight!

Today's run was hard and I just kept thinking about short I am and that my legs really are not made for running or at least running fast. And when I do have kids I had dreamed about being that woman that is like 7 months pregnant and still running for exercise, but I see that dream slowly fading away and it makes me sad... Reality kinda sucks... I don't like it.

Did you know that getting a good nights rest might help you lose weight?
Researchers have found that people who sleep less than 7 hours a night are more likely to be overweight or obese. It is thought that a lack of sleep impacts the balance of hormones that regulate appetite.
