Fit Friday Week 2

Not good, but not that bad either.

For accountablity and follow up purposes from last week, I did complete my final run last Friday and went 6 miles! The kiddos were crazy that afternoon and I needed some fresh air and a lot of it. It was one of my best runs since having Hope.

As for the running - I completed my goals!
On Sat I thought it would be a good idea to get my "long" run in for the week and went another 6. Did I mention that I ran 6 the night before? I paid for it dearly! My legs were jello for the next couple of days. I am definitely not ready for the half marathon that is coming up.

On Monday my 2 year old wanted to go running with me. That is WORK, I tell you. I pushed him in his stroller for around 3 miles. I would love to say that we ran the whole way, but we mostly trotted (and walked). One of his priceless quotes this week came from this trip. He said (and I quote), "We're not running, Mommy. We're walking." As if I did not know this? He did keep me honest as he would periodically tell me to go faster! "Go faster, Mommy, Go faster." "Sweetie - you're heavy - 33 lbs heavy + stroller weight, I am going faster!" That has to count for a few extra calories.

Tues and Thurs rounded out my runs with 4.5 miles and 4 miles respectively. Although the Thurs run was more walking than running as I mistakenly ate some soup before leaving. SLOSH. SLOSH. SLOSH...and I decided to walk. On a very POSITIVE note, I did ab exercises 3 times this week - which is a record for me!

As for the eating - over the course of the week I ate a bag of candy corn. BAD JEN! However, I was really good with eating well the rest of the time. I was studying to teach on Wed and the late night called for sugar. The very POSITIVE note is I stayed out of the ice cream - not one bite; not even a little taste. I also stayed out of Grayson's snacks! I've given up on the diet coke reduction. Much caffeine is needed for a 2 year old and newborn.

I did brave the skirt last Sat. I have about 3/4" to go in the waist and my rear end and hips need to shrink! Having a girl did a number on my body; my flat tushy is not so flat anymore.

Goals for this week: run 3 weekdays and 7-8 miles on Sat; eat well.....no bad snacks
