Topics and Training

Posted on the 23 April 2013 by Sara Maurer @smaurer18
You're all in for a treat today.  I am participating in two, count 'em, two link-ups.  I've missed Tuesday Topics for too many weeks in a row than I'd like to admit, and Training Tuesday is just awesome.
So, first up is Tuesday Topics with the lovely Tiffany and Lauren. :-)
The Austin Family Diary
Today's topic is four sites I check daily.  Only four?!
{Facebook}
Yep, I'm a Facebook addict.  I check it all of the time; not so much for my personal page, but more so for the business side of it.
{Pinterest}
Gah, so addicting!! There are so many great ideas for recipes, decorating and photography on that site.  I just can't get enough!
{Twitter}
I'm still getting used to Twitter, and I don't use it as much as Facebook, but, I still check it daily to read all of your fabulous tweets. :-)
{Blogger}
I still use Blogger dashboard to read all of your posts.  I'm still trying to get used to Bloglovin'...so until I do, Blogger dashboard it is! :-)
I also check IMDB daily, because I'm a movie geek, and Gmail to check all of my email addresses. :-)
Next up is Training Tuesdays with Abbey and Tamzilla. :-)
Topics and Training
Healthy eating:  This has been going extremely well this time around.  I can't seem to shake my pop addiction, but, one a day isn't too terrible, right?  Abbey mentioned in a previous post about her eating habits, and how she started eating a more "whole food" diet, and really changed how she looked at food.  I've followed suit slightly, and I've gotta' tell ya', I feel SO MUCH BETTER physically.  I have more energy, and with the exception of the occasional grumpy attitude, I've felt much better emotionally as well.  I don't count calories, carbs, or anything like that.  I am trying to stay away from the artificial sweeteners, which included the switch from diet pop to regular.  I can already tell a difference.  I've been getting less headaches, my digestion (TMI?!) is right on track, and I just generally feel better.
Work Outs:  I've been walking more, but, I know I need to get my ass in gear fully if I want to be ready for the 5K in July.  I plan on starting the 30 Day Shred either tonight or tomorrow morning, and I really want to start adding a little running to my plan by the middle-to-end of next week. 
A few questions for all of you running fools:  what brand of shoes do you prefer?  What kind of attire do you recommend for running?  I know you guys have probably already done a post on your favorite goodies, but, I would appreciate any feedback or recommendations.  :-)
Happy Tuesday, peeps.  Make it awesome! :-)
