Day 2

So far the fiber drink and I are getting along great.

Last night for dinner, I had a can of tuna and some wheatberry salad w a little hummus. Then I had some strawberries and huckleberries to satisfy a nagging sweet tooth. I probably also had some snacks throughout the day that didn't make it on here.

My legs are a little sore/stiff, so I am taking the day off from working out since we have that 15k on Saturday. But I did get the dog out for a 40-min walk, and will probably walk him again during halftime.

Today I have eaten/consumed: fiber drink, water, 2 eggs scrambled w quinoa, black beans, and zucchini spaghetti sauce from the other night (cooked the sauce out first, then added the eggs), more water, a strawberry/banana/soymilk smoothie after the walk with the dog. Still not really hungry from filling breakfast.

Advocare 24 Day Challenge

Started the Advocare 24 Day Challenge to hopefully get me over this last hump of weight loss and fitness. I am faster and stronger than ever, so weight loss is not a priority. But it sure feels good. I am also doing it with 20 other people, so the winner could win $200. That would sure be amazing since none of my clothes fit anymore.

Because I work nights, "day" is a pretty loose term. But this is what I have done since I slept last:

X fit DIY for 30 mins yest. Snack. Run 4.6 miles on Alabama Hill. Stuffed bell peppers for dinner. Work 8hrs. Tons of water, snacking on oatmeal, rice cakes w PB. X fit at 7a today. Officially start challenge with 1st fiber drink after I get home from the gym. Water. Apple. More water. Big salad w whole carrot, 2 celery, lettuce, 1/2 avocado, 1/2 tomato, 2 forks of hummus, and 2 hard boiled eggs. More water. Nap from about 12p-3:30p.

After my nap, hoping to get the dog out for a walk and getting into a better routine.

I also got new running shoes, and so far LOVE them. Hoping to wear them Saturday when Jake and I run the 15k.

Run and X fit

X fit is pretty much the greatest thing ever. I have been in it for 2 weeks now, and I feel great. Food has been pretty good too :)

Today I had to miss X fit for school, so I ran instead. I ended up doing 4.3 miles in 45 mins. Not bad because there is a bit of a hill too. Can't wait to get back to X fit though. My arms are still sore from doing weights on Tuesday and Wednesday.

blogging lapse, but no workout lapse :)

uh yeah, haven't been here for a while. I have been super good about working out though. I started going to a boot camp (kind of) workout once a week, and I have started doing hot yoga. Probably also once a week on that, though I don't really have a schedule.

Otherwise I have just been running, swimming, and lifting weights. So that's cool. I am down 5 lbs from January. woot. And I broke an erg record a few weeks ago.

And Jake and I broke our own Padden record in January. It has been super cold lately, so I haven't been running outside. But hopefully today.

Oh, and I have been riding my bike to work too. That's always nice. And then I don't feel so bad for taking a day off of working out.
