Working hard

Week in review -

Monday - Yoga. It was great. Not much else to say here
Tuesday - Legs were still sore from sunday's 5 miles. Took a break.
Wednesday - Power went out overnight and I didn't wake up in time for a morning workout. So when I came home I did some core and arm work with my husband. I am getting better at pull ups!
Thursday - Went on a short run with my husband and our dog. My shins STILL hurt from sunday!
Friday - took a break, was feeling very sore all around.

I did pretty good with healthy eating this week, aside from having a little too much candy. My boss always keeps candy around at work. I can't help it!!! Yesterday morning I was at 166.2, and my goal is to be 165 by next wednesday. However, yesterday was also my cheat day. I wish I could say it was worth it, but it wasn't really. Being that we are still pretty new to this town, I've been wanting to eat at restaurants I haven't been to before. Sometimes it works nicely, other times not so much. The place we went to wasn't so great. And kind of pricey for what you get out of it. It wasn't worth the calories. That's how I view things now - is it worth the calories? Trying not to regret it too much, because I did try something new, and now I will no longer be curious about the place.

I tried on my size 6 American Eagle jeans last night - THEY CLOSE. Still very very tight and not yet wearable, but after another 10-15 lbs they should be a perfect fit (I hope)
Also had to order some work khakis, also in a 6. Those may be tight at first, but eventually they should fit nicely. My current ones are practically falling off of me. I'd guess I am at about an 8 right now, coming down from a 12.

Today we are going out to the Army base. I'm going to run at the track on the field (about 3 miles), then we're headed over to the parcour course. It's a trail with obstacles. We figure it will be good training for my Spartan race - which is in less than a month! Downside is, it looks like the weather is going to be pretty crappy. Cold and rainy. But this is our only weekend to do this together, because next weekend is my 10k and then my husband has foot surgery. My legs are sore from kettlebell swings (well, weights really, because we're cheap and don't have kettlebells yet) and my shins still hurt. I don't know what the hell I did to my shins! Really I should have given myself alot more time to train for this 10k, but it just didn't happen that way. I'll get it done I swear, even if I have to walk the damn thing! And today, regardless of crappy weather and sore legs, we'll go out and work ourselves on the trails. After today however, I may need to take a break for awhile!
