So here we are at Week 7. Next week will be Week 8, two months. I'm not where I hoped to be, but again, my fault. For some reason, it's like I don't want this enough. *shrug* We'll see.
This week was pretty rough--we weren't able to do a lot of home cooked meals and I've eaten terribly for lunch. Though I did get a lot of my classes in.
I've started getting up a little earlier and doing some ab exercise for about 15 minutes every morning. This is in addition to my arm exercise, so I'm really hoping to see the same sort of increase in my strength. I really need it. There's a lot of inverts I want to do that I'm just not able to and it sucks.
I did well tracking my intake and reducing it this week. I have a good 300ish breakfast/morning snack that works for me (Naked Juice!), and a nice 150 snack (greek yogurt!) Just need to make sure my lunches are the correct proportions, and I'll be doing a lot better. I'm trying to eat smaller amounts at a time and I think that's been really good for me too.
Down a pound this week. Starting this weekend, I'm getting back to running. I feel like I'm finally over that lingering cold, so yay. I have a nice 4 mile route planned for the mornings. I'd like to run that 3-4 times a week, with an increasingly long run on the weekends. Start with 8, I think. I need to get back into running shape. I'd like to do 5 miles 3-4 times a week, but we'll see. It depends on if it starts getting light sooner or if I start going into work a little later. I may try going in later--I never take lunch, and end up working 8:30-5 anyway.
My first race of the year is the Flying Pirate Half Marathon end of April. I can't wait to run it! My goal is 2:45, which would be amaaaazing. Just need to run more. It's a good, flat course, and I'm going to run parts of it during our pre-race vacation. So excited. A week on the Outer Banks! YES!
