Day 14 Review (this is getting boring)
Exercise: 30 min at the gym… that’s all I had time for!
Eating: Yeah! Bowl of french onion soup, NO SODA (go Fat Pants, go Fat Pants!) This also counts as a meatless meal for the week.
Stretching/PT: No…oops!
I had so much fun catching up with my gf last night. After [...]
Day 13 Review
Eating on plan: Yes
Exercise: Ran 3 miles
Stretching/PT: Check
I came home from work and planned on just laying down for about half an hour until my DH got home from work to see if he wanted to go running with me. Well, DH ended up having to work late and got home an hour [...]
…from CRAMPS. Ugh. I hate you, Mr. Rogers (that’s for Marbear LOL).
I don’t remember what days I am on for the challenge but I did great all weekend. Saturday was TOUGH but - get this - I had NO snacks or drinks at the ballpark. Yay!
Friday - it was a rest day and I got [...]
Day 9 Review
Exercise: Ran 3 miles
Food: YES! Totally on plan
Stretching/PT: Yes, but not as much as I should have because I was lazy.
Yesterday I ran again with zero knee pain. But holy cow have my legs felt extremely dead the past two runs. I’m thinking they’re exhausted and need a break from five straight days [...]
Day 8 review
Exercise: Cross training day, so 15 min elliptical/15 min stationary bike/15 HIIT on treadmill
Food: Definitely good
Stretching/PT: Yes! And good news there… I have read/been told that when your IT band is not inflamed, the foam roller won’t hurt. I started rolling out my leg last night and it didn’t hurt at all! Previously [...]
Exercise: 3 miles
Food: meatless (polenta and steamed artichokes)
PT/Stretching: Yes
So yesterday I tried my hand at this whole “winter running” idea. It was 48 degrees when I left work but the wind was really picking up as it was blowing in a winter storm (yep, you read that right… “winter storm” Seriously, I hate living in [...]
But I won’t, so don’t worry.
Exercise: 15 minutes elliptical, 15 minutes stationary bike, 15 minutes HIIT on treadmill (the most exciting part of the workout!) 470 calories burned
Eating: Check (1336 cals)
PT/Stretching: Double check
All I can say is, when your weight jumps up 1.5 lbs overnight for no good reason, I can begin to [...]

ETA: Weather rant
It is SEPTEMBER and [...]
Dear Scale,
I’m not sure why you don’t like me this week. You suck. I was on plan. I exercised my little (but strong) heart out. I mean, it’s not like I have 10 lbs left to lose. I still have like 25 more pounds! That’s a lot! Let’s get with the program, ok?
Sincerely,
Frustrated former-but-still kinda [...]
Eating on plan: Check (1341 calories)
Run 4 miles (fartlek): Check, even though it sucked and I got rained on.
So today I’m supposed to do an easy 3 miles (at slow pace) and tomorrow would typically be a rest day. I think I might switch it up because my knee has been bothering me since the [...]
