Week 2 Recap

This was a so-so week.

Monday I did CT5K and increased my runs to 7.2.  I felt really good and loved pushing through the challenge.

Tuesday was supposed to be a double day with TIU training in the morning and CT5K before a birthday dinner.  Unsurprisingly, I slept in, then had to run errands before dinner.  I had planned on having a salad, but the unusual offer of bruschetta took away my willpower.  Because I am gluten-free, anytime I see a former favorite available I tend to cave.  And you know what?  It was delicious.

Wednesday was the start of a 2 day road trip to Wichita.  I wanted to get up and do a TIU routine, but instead I got up even earlier (whaa?) and did a CT5K.  This time I did 7.4: BOOM.  It was a bit harder, and even though most of the runs are only a minute and half I found myself checking the time every few seconds.  Maybe it's the music.  Maybe my endurance.  Maybe I have adult ADHD?  Or run-induced ADHD?  Anyhoo, I got it done, then celebrated by lunch at On the Boarder (but did NOT have a margarita, thank you very much) and dinner at Buffalo Wild Wings (and I DID have a cider, thank you very much).

Thursday (yesterday) more sales calls and back home to KC.  I had a caprese salad at lunch, so not great thanks to the cheese, but not the worst thing I could have picked.  I did stop and grab a chocolate/cherry shake on the drive home.  Didn't come close to finishing the small, though.  Win?  I was stuffed still so dinner was just some brussel sprouts.

Today was my Personal Training.  If you haven't heard, I have a major love/hate relationship with it.  I love it when I'm done, because I know I worked hard and did good work.  But during?  Absolutely not.  I sweat, swear, and complain. Maybe it's because I'm with family I can be more expressive?  All I know is that for the next few days I'll be sore.


My weekend looks like most: busy.  I drive to Omaha tonight to see a friend get hitched on Saturday.  I'll try to pace myself and keep the drinking on the lighter side.  I also hope I can find time to get in a CT5K and round out my 3 for the week.  Not sure if I'll get any more toning than my training session this morning.  Then I go up to Sioux Falls and meet my nephew, so I'm sure some Red Rossa Pizza is in store for us.

Overall, I feel good.  I know my biggest hurdle is my eating (and drinking).  I got down a bit because I weighed myself for the first time since starting this and I GAINED 1.5lbs.  I know that can be the result of a lot of things, but it just took the wind out of my sails. Oh well.
