MARCHing orders

Hola! Again, please forgive my lack of posts. My goal is to get on here every week & post an update. I think I'm letting the guilt take over a bit. I nowhere near where I had hoped now that we're already into the 3rd month of the year, but I do feel I've made progress from last year. In the past couple weeks, I feel good about my progress with:

-Running - I ran 7 miles last week. Hope to get to 7.5 this week & 8 by the end of the month. Then I'll feel good about starting to cross-train and work on swimming & biking so I can be ready for the tri in July. I still wish the scale would move a bit faster, but I'm trying not to get hung-up on that & just focus on my overall health.
- Date nights - Thanks to my neighbor Robyn & mom, we've been able to have some fun dates in the past month.
-Stop eating 2 hrs before bed. Not perfection, but definitely progress.

This week is our "weaning Kezi from the binki" week, so I'm going to be realistic here & not try to overdo it, knowing I'm not going to have enough sleep, so for the first few days, I'm just going to try and hang in there & just focus on the day-to-day tasks.

I still would like to work harder on a couple important things:
-Personal Study in the morning - especially the Book of Mormon. Remember the object lesson in Relief Society, where they have all the golf balls & things that are supposed to fit in the jar. When they put the little ones in first, everything doesn't fit, but when they put the bigger balls in first, the smaller ones fit. I NEED to put the personal study first, THEN I will get more done during the day - priorities.
-Drinking water (I've regressed on this & need to work harder at making this something I do naturally)
-I've gotten way behind on my housework. By the end of the week, I'm going to work on having a clean home - even the downstairs.

Thanks everyone for being on top of it & giving ideas & support. Here's to a great March!
