This week I can officially say I’m BUSY!
I have 19 miles on my training plan:
Monday: 5 miles
Wednesday: 5 miles
Thursday: 4 miles
Saturday: 5 miles
I look forward to going home after work, cooking dinner and spending time with my kids. That has yet to happen this week, and I doubt it will.
Monday I worked until 6:30pm so I went home and made turkey sandwiches for dinner. It was the fastest thing I could think of, and the kids didn’t complain. Win!
Tuesday night was THE BEST night I’ve had in a long time! My best friend since preschool was in town, and it had been TEN YEARS since we saw each other. Can I just say that will NEVER happen again!! We live in the same state, and surely we can find a weekend or two to visit each other.
Last night was open house at Lexy’s school, and tonight is Mr. P’s. I always look forward to what the kiddos do in class thoughout the year, besides the things they bring home. Lex is taking French class, and totally fell in love with the subject. On Tuesday night she tried teaching me how to answer 5 questions in French so she could get extra credit (she doesn’t even need it) for open house. I was confident that I could answer the questions when I went to bed, but when I woke up that morning I couldn’t remember a thing. Her teacher jokingly called me a quitter. Haha
My nutrition this week has been bad…. I hate that I had such a great week last week (lost 2.3lbs) but this week I have given into every temptation, and not even bothered to watch my calorie intake. My job had a catered lunch from the gourmet food trucks. Portabella sliders with a side of fries? Yes please! I regretted it almost instantly. Last night I even had a sundae from the dreaded McDonald’s. *gasp* I’ve probably had I was up 1lb this morning. I won’t even lie to myself and say that I’ll be good on vacation, but I totally need to watch it once I get back. I know that it isn’t realistic, but I would love to lose about 7lbs before the half marathon. Since the half is in 24 days, and within that time I will be on vacation, and my mom is visiting, 3lbs is more realistic. Tonight we’ll be having crockpot spaghetti! The sauce is in the slow cooker, and I know it’ll be delicious.
So many things I’m looking forward to! 2013 is definitely starting to look up! 😀
Happy Thursday
