Monday-7 mile run outside (8.30 pace)
Tuesday-2 circuits "War on Fat" and 2.5 miles at 8.0

Week 57

Weight: 124.8
Exactly the same weight, hmm??? I did not eat over 1300 calories all week, not even Sunday!! I probably haven't gone over 1500 calories in about 3 weeks. I need a cheat!!!

My workout this week was great!!! Here's what I did:
Monday-5 mile run in 38 minutes. (I decided I wanted to run faster than my fastest ever 5K which was 21 minutes so...I did the first 3 miles in 20 and half minutes ((I had to run between 8.5-9.0 on the treadmill)) then I ran the last 2 miles at 7.5 and then jumped it up to 9.0 and 10.0 at the end-this was tough but I felt on cloud 9 all day!!)
Tuesday-Summer Fit Circuit and 2 mile run at 8.5; ab ripper
Wednesday-50 minutes Kenpo Karate
Thursday-Lean Belly Circuit with 2 mile run at 8.5 and 10 sets of stairs
Friday-50 minutes power yoga
Saturday-2 circuits of good ol' Spartacus and 3.5 mile run (7.5 half-mile, 8.5 half-mile x's 3, 1/2 mile at 7.0 incline and 6.8 speed)

Week 56

Weight: 124.8

My eating was uber-clean, not because I am trying to reach some number on the scale, even though getting to 125 again feels great and my clothes are fitting great, but more rewarding is feeling good when I eat healthy and the empowerment I gain with a controlled diet.

My workout this week:
Monday-6.5 mile run outside (8.44 pace)
Tuesday-3 circuits Lean Belly Workout with 2 miles worth of sprints
Wednesday-Upper Body/Running circuit
Thursday-Lower body/running circuit; ab ripper
Friday-5 mile run outside (8.55 pace)-boy was I tired this morning; 5 am every morning is getting to me!!
Saturday-50 minutes power yoga

Weekly Fitness Tip: Are you trying to go low-carb to lose weight? I've been reading about why this is not such a grand idea. It seems that people who eat more fiber rich good carbs are thinner and more satisfied with their eating plans. Here's a great article if you're interested.
