Goodbye May, Hello June

For the month of May I set 3 goals.

They were:

• Run a cumulative total of 100 km

• Stay up to date with and complete the Fat Mum Slim Photo a Day Challenge

• Nag less

I'm very happy to say that successfully I met my running goal. In the process of completing this goal I was able to set some personal records: I ran 8km for the first time. I bought my average pace per kilometer down by 2 minutes. I ran 5km in just in 39 minutes. I highly recommend using an app like RunKeeper. The app allows you to set goals, tracks your run times and distances, and it sends you encouraging emails telling you you're awesome...Who doesn't want to hear that?! I'm aiming for another 100km in June, and to bring my average pace down from 8:10 to 7:30/km, bring it on!

I had not completed a whole month of Photo a Day in quite a while and I didn't even start it in April. However I really enjoy having a creative outlet in the midst of my everyday Mum duties, so for May I really committed to it. I missed one day (21: I Care About This. I think I over thought it and then was completely uninspired!) but other than that, A whole month done. I was considering doing a whole post about this but the time factor that would have to go into that was prohibitive. The pictures are here for you to enjoy. I had a lot of fun taking them. I'm keen for June too, it feels good to have my creative juices flowing again!

Nag less... Hmm, I don't think I succeeded in this at all! However, today is another day and another opportunity to grow more patient, more accepting, more loving. Here's to June!

Also for June I am paying more attention to what I eat. I'm not going to get crazy and start counting calories of only eating carrot and celery, but I have been maintaining for the last couple of months, and while that is not necessarily a bad thing, I am not where I want to be yet. I'm hoping to reduce my muffin top to cupcake and have my snug pants being more comfortable.
