Week 2 of my Dopey training

Well all I have to say is... training week 2 has been a bust! I was a lazy butt this week. I didn't get outside and walk or hop on the treadmill at all. I know NOT GOOD!! Oh well that was last week and tomorrow is a new one! All I can do is move on and try harder than the week before!
 Now other than today, I did pretty good on my Paleo track! I did cheat a few times but not as bad as the past month. So that's good. I stocked up on my paleo friendly foods for the week, So I shouldn't have the urge to cheat.
 Now on to week 3! I'm going to the Jacksonville Zoo Tuesday so that will be a bunch of walking and I'll get some camera time in!
 Check me out on Instagram - The Snappy Coconut and Facebook
Talk to you later!!
I would love to read your story! Let me know if you have a blog. I try and follow anyone who follows me!
Here's to a better week,

My Road to Dopey

A few months ago I decided it was time for a change! I started eating a Paleo/Primal diet and decided I wanted to start some kind of fitness program. Since my surgery some activities are not easy for me. No lifting, jumping crunching! One day while on Facebook I came across a RunDisney video for their Glass Slipper Challenge. I was hooked! I decided right there and then I was going to run a Disney race!!
 So I went out got new shoes, a treadmill and my Garmin watch and a month later I ran my very 1st 5k 3 months after my diaphragmatic hernia repair!!
 Well I got a stomach bug and my training and eating habits went down hill!!! So a few weeks ago I decided its time to start up again and I came up with a 3 year plan! In January 2018 I am going to run the RunDisney Dopey Challenge!!! 48.6 miles in 4 days! Yeah that's crazy, I mean Dopey!!!
 So The Dopey challenge is where you run a 5k on Thursday, 10k on Friday, HalfMarathon on Saturday and the Full Marathon on Sunday!
 So I put together a planner to track my weight loss, meals, miles, steps and activities. I want to look back and see all my hard work for the past 3 years! I have completed week 1 and I am on to week two!! Wish me luck and follow my journey here!
If you would like more info on the Dopey Challenge please visit RunDisney's website at www.RunDisney.com

My planner and notebook for when I am out and about!

My charts for tracking all my stuff! I also have loose leave paper to write down my activities and meals.
I want it to be kind of like a scrapbook planner!
 Have a great day!!
