I’m giving you fair warning that this post is not going to be happy or positive. Don’t say I didn’t warn you. π
Last week I bombed on running and healthy eating because of a personal tragedy in my family. Did you know that crying burns a lot of calories? It must because I lost several pounds last week. Last weekend I was at 132. I am now 127. 5 pounds lost. Through heartache, stress, grief, being overwhelmed, you name it-I felt it.
Just to give you some kind of relief-the situation that occurred involved my 17 (now 18) year old daughter. Yes, she is still alive and well. And we will work through this and survive. π Also, in case some of you might be able to relate-she has lost her phone, vehicle, facebook, and twitter account, as well as friends and pride. I think she has found God, though. So maybe everything does happen for a reason.
This too shall pass. I hope.
So, for last week…..I lost 5 pounds, I only ran twice, and I even forgot to eat supper Thursday evening. I NEVER FORGET TO EAT.
That’s all. We are moving forward and I will hopefully be back on track this next week. But it’s going to be a doozy.
Monday-Taking the day off from school to go to some appointments. Honor’s banquet at school Monday night.
Tuesday-Eat supper with my best friend.
Wednesday-Athletic banquet at school.
Thursday-Rest. Unless I have forgotten something.
Friday-Rejoice that it is the last day of school and then SPRING BREAK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Saturday-5k race in Auburn and wedding to attend that night.
I “want” to run 6 times this week. We’ll see. π
So my goals for week 4 are:
1. Lose 2 pounds which would put me at my goal weight of 125
2. Get those 2 fruits/veggies in EVERY DAY-not just some days!!
3. Run 6 times with one of those being a 6 miler. I want to log in around 20 miles this week total which would be my most weekly miles since I started running.
4. Attempt the interval training again since I bombed on everything last week
I did not see a mini-challenge on the Ready For Summer Challenge blog, so I am going to make my own for now. I want to try and cook a new healthy dish this week. It will probably be Friday since the weekdays are going to be so busy. I might try tilapia-I’ve never actually cooked fish. Or I might just find something on pinterest. I’ll be sure and post after I make it-maybe even with pictures. π

I hope everyone has a great week! π
