89 to Go!

Started the #FriskyFall challenge on Monday and I've already logged 11 miles.  Now, to many, that might not be that impressive, but for me it is a HUGE accomplishment.  I really want to focus on the positive so here we go:

• By Thursday (today) I've already completed my 3 CT5K sessions
• Gone to the gym every.day since Monday
• Woke up super early today (5:30AM) to get my workout in
• Kept my eating clean and on track
• Laid off the sauce (no alcohol yet)
• Already completed 3 Tone it Up routines
• Declined the option for ice cream at a work party

The reason these are so exciting for me is that I have accomplished so much more than normal, and I don't feel burned out.  The positivity of the #TIU community has really helped me find motivation when I lacked it.  Using Instagram, the Community page, and Twitter I feel like I am personally responsible for my actions, and it will let people down if I don't follow through.  

While I don't see any physical results (I mean, it has only been 4 days!) I am feeling so good!  My energy is high- of course the 2 cups of tea today certainly didn't hurt that- and I am excited to keep going with the program.  Plus I have a new app that lets me write on my pictures and make them all cute, so I love posting!

I'm still not 100% sure I'm following the plan correctly.  Like on our weekly calender today it said the 2.5 miles and Saved by the Bell.  Not sure if we're supposed to do more work on top of that, or if this is all they would like us to do.  Maybe I'll try to build up from this, but as it stands I'm at the gym for a pretty solid chunk of time with just their challenges.

Today:

We were asked to get 2.5 miles- I did CT5K Week 4 Day 1.  Admittedly, my legs are sore from so much cardio, and probably not nearly enough stretching.  When at a much slower pace, was constantly swearing at the clock, but got it done.  Because it was slower, and a shorter program length, I walked a little longer to hit my target.

We then had a kettleball routine.  I did the beginners (Saved by the Bell Part 1) one time through, then Part 2 1 time through.

Tonight is a happy hour for a friend's engagement, so I'm going to try to stick either to just soda water (but that will start pregnancy rumors) or 1 glass of wine.  If we eat, I checked out the menu and will get hummus with celery and carrots.  Not bad, right?

Depending on the time/how hungry I am, I'm going to try to get a little yoga/stretching in tonight.  Seriously so sore, I'm not sure how I'll make it through Personal Training tomorrow!

Have a GREAT Thursday eve!
