Weekend Recap for 4/4/09 & 4/5/09

I missed posting this weekend so this will be a recap.

It was a gorgeous weekend nothing but sunshine all day long and it was high 60 temps perfect running weather. I decided to pick up more strength training classes this week. I have notice that I have only been getting one class in a week when I need to go to at least three so this Saturday I went for it. I took the girls and we went to Lauren's group power class. I stayed and did the whole class where as the girls stop about half way through to do some cardio which was pretty good I guess because Cymone had three games and Cierra had one. They don't really understand the doing the weight right now but I think it will click in soon.

Sunday was a good sunny running day so I set my nike + to run 8 miles and left the house about 11 am. As I was running and about 4 miles into it I realized that I had to get Cierra to her basket ball game. Almost in a panick I had to run home and hope that I could get there in time for her to get to the game which means I had to shorten my route a little. I made it to only 6.5 miles. I didn't have time to change clothes so I grab her keep my running clothes and drove her across town. When we get to the gym the team is standing outside. The gym is lock so to myself I am thinking why did I cut my run short? Why? Why? Why? So since the gym was lock and I still had on my running clothes I figure that I could finish up my 1.5 miles left to do before the game. Yeah I did it. I am so proud of myself.

Today has been a great day. I woke up this morning with the intention on running 5 miles on the treadmill. I completed about 7.5 in about 60 minutes. My legs are a little sore so I am definitely going to rest them until my weekend run. Goal is to get a 9 mile run in. My half is a month from tomorrow so no time like the present to get ready for it. I have been slacking a bit but I am sure I can pick it back up. I am hoping for a nice weekend if I don't get my wish I have to get outside as the treadmill cant prepare me really for my goal.

Meals today were great. I ate pretty much the same only difference for lunch I ate a can of soup which lower some of my points. I am going to try eat a can of reduce sodium every day for lunch and a better dinner and see what happen. I figure my fat grams are down and fiber is up almost double which can cause some plateau. I haven't have any chocolate or candies staying pretty strong as far as that. I just need to watch portion controls.

Today was a great day, I got up in time to do my group power class. I always feel so strong in the class and on top of the world. I am really thinking about going back to school and get my certification in becoming a fitness trainer. The interest is definitely there and I just love educating people on choices on fitness and nutrition. After all I have been there before. I think I would probably even actually enjoy doing it too so why not.

Nutrition was good stay on track and focus.
