Week 97

Weight: 118.4

It really is hard this time of year to stay as gung-ho as normal. I haven't been running outside as much (brrrr...) and I've had some sick days with the kids and myself and baking days and caramel making days and cold lazy days. I did 8 miles on the treadmill (boring) and Spartacus and Spartacus II circuits and of course yoga. I'm hoping to get a long run in soon. As far as eating goes, I'm trying to keep it clean. I find it a good idea to buy and prepare healthy foods that you don't always have around. Instead of same old apples and bananas, try pomegranets and persimmons and of course juicy oranges. Instead of the usual veggies, bake up some spaqhetti or acorn squash and roasted brussel sprouts. It works for me to look forward to eating my healthy fruits and veggies but with some variety.

Slacking again-but no one is reading anyway!! I am going to really make it funner and more educational next year...right now I am not so into it. I am lucky to not eat my entire kitchen and sleep in every day! I've been doing some good running and circuits and the usual stuff. I am having a very hard time getting away from so much fun food. It is so hard to fight against what our bodies want to naturally do this time of year. I am vowing to not have any crap food until Christmas so I can enjoy the season while wearing my cute jeans and not feel like a marshmallow........yummmm.....marshmallow's!!!!
