Week recap & This week's schedule

So last week was so-so.

Workouts this last Week:
 Monday: 20 minutes Stairmill + Shoulders & Back - Done 
Tuesday: 3 Mile Run - Done
Wednesday: 30 minute Tempo Run + Legs - 30 min tempo done - kicked my butt so bad i skipped legs
Thursday: 3 Mile Run + Chest & Arms - rest day
Friday: 3 Mile Run at Pace (6.3 on the treadmill) - rest day
Saturday: 6 Mile Run- attempted finished 3 miles in 35 minutes (faster than Monday but not up to pace yet)
Sunday - Travel Day/ Rest

As you can see no long run last week. I definitely tried to cram too much into my schedule with a birthday and a wedding this weekend. I got discouraged after my tempo run. It was much more difficult than I anticipated and I could not keep pace. I need to use those moments to push myself to the next level the next day.

Workouts this week:
Monday - Rest day
Tuesday- 3.5 mile run + full body weight routine at home
Wednesday - 6 X 400s at 5K pace + Legs
Thursday - 3 mile run + Arms and Chest
Friday - Rest
Saturday - 5 K Race
Sunday - Rest or Yoga

Motivate Me!

Friday Weigh-In....WHAT!

I do not weigh myself everyday. But for Shits and Giggles I decided to unpack my scale and step on it. Two weeks before my move, I started drinking a protein shake every day. The week before my move I stopped cooking and started eating out like it was my job. I do not usually eat out...it is a treat to me, therefore I eat things that I normally would not. See where this is going. I expected a gain. What I got was this....

That is right! I lost 3.8 lbs since the last time I weighed myself. This is with random food tracking and hardly any exercise. I did run a half marathon on Sunday but that was all the running I did in the two/three week time frame  Regardless, I am taking it and running. 

This week's goals consist of the following:

1. Tracking every day on MyFitnessPal (username: lizza0630)

1. Getting in 210 minutes of Fitness. I am going to try the bridge to 10K running program to get myself back into the habit of running, since it is a run/walk program I am probably going to run/walk the recommended times until I reach distance I am scheduled to run that day. This week I am supposed to run at least Saturday (5), Monday (3), Wednesday (2) and Thursday (3). Two days of strength training with moderate weight.
2. Eating clean 90% of the time.
