Hey gang! If anyone is counting, we are beginning week 43 of training! It is pretty scary to think that there are only 43 sundays left until race day...
So, training this week kind of sucked. Tuesday I did a great interval walk. Got my pace up to 19:14 comfortably. I did a 20 minute walk last Sunday with a pace of 18:15. However, I could only keep at it for 20 minutes. I did do over a mile, but it was a bit too much.
I have decided Monday is always going to be a rest day. Mondays are just too hard in general, and let's face it, getting up extra to get a walk in just f*----- sucks, when you don't want to get out of bed to start with.
But back to last week's training...So did a great walk on Tuesday. Wednesday was the planned 3mi with Princess J. Unfortunately, there were tornado warnings everywhere, and even our back up treadmill location was requiring everyone to get out in the halls and away from the windows. Needless to say, we canceled the walk. It was the rest of the day then that just went to hell in a handbasket. DH was being all pooey (I think it was his every 6th week PMS time), so to compensate, I took DS for the afternoon and forfeited my time. I then proceeded to start a pity party for myself and ended up eating 1/2 a bag of cheetos for dinner. Uuuugh!! I hate when I make bad decisions and do s*-- like that! Thursday was totally off at work and I made the incredibly bad choice of a Frisch's Swiss Miss for breakfast, and let's just say the day went down hill from there. Thursday night/Friday morning DS woke me up with projectile vomiting @ 1am. I was up the rest of the night with poor darling...I had meant to get up to watch the Royal Wedding, but that wasn't quite what I had in mind! I worked Friday on about 3 hours of sleep, and not surprisingly, ate crap -- chips & queso, ritz crackers all day. Uuuugh!!! At least Saturday I got back on track!
Today Princess J & I went to the Flying Pig expo here in Cincinnati for inspiration. I got some cute stuff (more on that later) but most of all, we got to see the Princess Medal at the Run Disney booth. It was totally inspiring that we got to see & touch that gorgeous tiara medal!!!
So, looking ahead to next week, a huge priority is grocery shopping, prepping, & packing for later today. I have, at least in my head, come to grips that I have to give up or at minimum a 3 bite rule, for my beloved bready carbs. I have got to get some success on the scale to help increase my pace, so I need to make some better choices and have a plan.
Here's what I am thinking for this week:
Salami rolls & oriental salad
Low carb crepes for all kinds of things-- breakfast burritos, quiche crusts, no noodle lasagna
Berries & melon
Fresh mozzarella with grape tomatoes & pesto
Cucumbers & hummus
Chicken cherron
Mom's pot roast & veggies
Salad greens
General Tzo's chicken
Chicken cesar salad
Apples & Peanut butter
Roasted vegetables
My thoughts are trying to focus on things I love, not things that I need to avoid. Let's see how this goes, and I will keep on posting!
