Oh, what a beautiful morning, oh, what a beautiful day! I've got a beautiful feeling, everything's going my way :D
This weather is my absolute favorite! In case you are wondering why I am in such a good mood, even with a croupy 2 year old, well... my weight is FINALLY dropping :D YEAH!!! Halleluiah!!! Anyway, I am also pretty excited because last week went so well. I am finally feeling like I am getting used to ALL of this extra exercise. Woo Hoo! I am probably going to LIVE ;D
Rest week over... this week is back to building running miles. I am going by the 10% rule, sort of. This week is 26 running miles. I will bike up to 90 minutes per day of kick my bum exercise ;) I have been converting the biking into running miles by dividing the total biking minutes by 12 (Sasha's conversion # for me). 12 minutes of biking = 1 mile of running. My actual biking miles have not been as many as they have been without the trailer and kids. I also have been trying to bike on the flattest roads I can find. The gloves I bought at the bike store have helped immensely with the numbness and soreness in my hands and arms. Oh yeah, yoga everyday too. My IT band is finally getting over itself and not killing my hip anymore. Yippee!!!
I think I have got a handle on the starvation feeling. I am making sure to eat every two hours to satisfaction. For those of you familiar with the Weight Watchers Core Plan, that is what I am following. For those of you not familiar with this food plan, it has NO Points. It has you eat from a list of wholesome and nutritious foods without tracking. The list of foods consists of lean meats, beans, whole grains, fat free dairy, fruits and vegetables, basically. Anyway, I am feeling great. Our peach tree is almost ripe, and I cannot wait to eat them all.
I am very excited to see what this week brings. The weather is supposed to be wonderful, so life is good. I wish you all well this week. |
