Good morning!
Yesterday I did something I have not done in a long time. I did NOT get on the scale. Usually I am a "several times a day weigher." But yesterday I just didn't want to deal with that number. I didn't want it to define my day. So I skipped it and went on with my morning. And I went on with the entire rest of my day.
I did skip the gym last night. My half marathon training plan called for rest/cross train for Monday. I had tossed around the idea that I would at least take it easy on Monday since I had a decent long run on Sunday. But knowing me and the last 4 weeks of my training schedule I was not sure I could just take the day off. BUT I did. At first I felt ok with it but as my evening went on I was not ok at all with it. My body, my mind, my sanity...all of it craved a workout of some sort. I should have just popped in a video or turned on the Wii. I suck sometimes. Boo!
Today I stayed off the scale again.
Today I have 3 miles (EZ) and BodyPump on my workout schedule.
Today is going to be a great day with eating and the gym. Period.
Last night I was home with the kids alone. This meant cooking dinner, which is just something I hate to do. Basically I hate to clean the kitchen. I admit that. Anyway, I had put out chicken tenders and scoped out some easy recipes yesterday. My kids (Peanut especially) LOVE Chickfila's nuggets. SO, I found this yummy recipe and stopped by the store for frozen fries to bake because what's a meal of chicken nuggets without fries?? The recipe was easy, tasty and the kids raved about the nuggets. Served with a side of baked fries and steamed broccoli. Yum. They asked to have it again tonight but with waffle fries instead. haha
I'm running a 5k race Saturday. Kinda spur of the moment or last minute decision. Got a late night text from my pal, Kelsey last night asking me to run one called "Hottern Hell" this Saturday. I laughed to hubby about it, he said do it and I giddily text Kelsey back YES!
Ok, I'm off to the gym to get my big calorie burn on. Later!
