Best lunch ever! Greek salad. 300 cals, tons of veggies. Probbly too many veggies as this was a 7 cup tupperware!
Ran
Ran 4 miles in 30 minutes today!
Even after standing and lifting for 8 hours at work.
What’s gotten into me? I think toning and intervals are my best friend.
Made my goal!
I have officially moved my regular running pace up to 8.5 minutes per mile aka 7mph! I think that swapping 2 runs per week with the elliptical and interval training really helped! Soooo excited
I love grocery day.
I am vowing to not tan all summer. Sure I can go out in the sun but I must wear sunscreen and I must do my best to take care of my skin. I went for a 45 min run in the sun on Saturday and burnt. If we’re all so concerned about keeping our bodies healthy we should take care of our skin, too!
Yesterday I did 8km in 45 mins. I’m getting there. I want to be able to run at 7 mph comfortably by the end of may. Slowly building up to it.
Bought these shorts today, awesome? Yes. The compression lining is the teal color on the outside and so are the strings. Bubblegum ice cream.
Is this just my inevitable shape? Time to tone. My knees are nobby, thy just point like that. I think that may be the reason I have hip and knee problens? Who knows…
So this has been my week so far!
Sunday- hiked the second largest granite cliff face in the world. The entire trip was about 4 hrs of hiking- about 90% was practicall straight up or down. Tough but so worth it. The best part was running the way down through a creekbed path and then running for 10 minutes to the flat path to the car. Didn’t want to stop.
Monday- recovery
Tuesday-30 min at 6mph with strength.
Wednesday-45 min at 6.5 mph with strength.
Thursday- 30 min at 6.5 mph + 30 min elliptical and strength.
Friday- 40 min at 6.5 mph + strength.
I’m addicted. As usual. Going for a hike tomorrow- might do a 30 min run in the morning- who knows!
Positive
I did an hour of cardio today. 30 minutes on the elliptical and 30 minutes of interval training at an approximate average of 9 min per mile. Burned about 500. I feel amazing and I’m still netting 1000 calories. Mind you I stand for 8 hrs a day and lift heavy things but I don’t count that in my activity. So I ate 1500 calories today because I burned 500. I’m going to force myself to eat like normal. It will be hard but I know it’s best.
