Weight:122.4
Blah-I know this is still a low weight for me but I have been under 121 for so long.....I have eaten more calories everyday this week and I thought I would maintain. Oh well, I am really trying to stay balanced and not worry too much about the scale.
My workout's this week:
Monday- 14 mile Temple Run with Jasmine (8.55 pace) Long run with lots of hills!
Tuesday-2 rounds of Summer Fit; 20 minutes elliptical
Wednesday-7 mile run (7.55 pace)
Thursday-Yoga (sick)
Friday-Kenpo Karate
Saturday-"300 Workout" plus 4 miles on the treadmill (7.5-9.0)

Weeks 81-82
Weight: 120.6
Last Week's Workout:
Monday-11 mile run outside (8.22 pace)
Tuesday-Spartacus (yeah-my arm is feeling better!!)
Wednesday-7 mile run outside (8.22 pace)
Thursday-Full body/elliptical circuit + 15 flights of stairs (55 minutes)
Friday-Power Yoga
Saturday-probably some sprints and Spartacus II
Weekly Fitness Tip: Do you read Nutrition labels??
Well, you should! Not only should you be aware of how big a serving is, how many calories, fat, carbs etc are in a single serving, but you should also be reading what is going into your body. Is your wheat bread really whole wheat?? Is there high fructose corn syrup and enriched flour instead of whole wheat flour? I think it is a good idea to eat things with less than 5-6 ingredients and as minimally processed as possible. Here is an article on sneaky food additives to be aware of. Remember, baby steps and consistency will get you going in the right direction.

Weeks 79-80
Weight: 121.4
Feeling good but a little sick of my sore arm; I haven't really picked up a weight in 3 weeks!!! Believe it or not, I am really missing push-ups!!! I am really trying to eat good since my workouts aren't so intense but my motivation is slightly decreased when I am not really hitting it-go figure.
Last Week's Workout:
Monday-10 mile run outside (8.06 pace-fastest time, non-race)
Tuesday- Plyometrics
Wednesday- 6 mile run outside (8.16 pace)
Thursday-Kenpo Karate
Friday-off
Saturday-3 mile running/leg circuit; 15 flights of stairs
Weekly Fitness Tip: ONE WORD FOR RESULTS!
In all of my experience and years of working-out, losing weight and trying to focus on my diet I have one word for you. It is the most important word ever if you want to see results......CONSISTENCY!!!!! People are often getting caught up in the low-carb, low-fat, when should I do cardio, how hard should I lift, should I eat 6 mini-meals or 3 bigger ones, should I use this supplement and do this cleanse and so on and so on that they forget good old fashioned consistent hard work! Get a routine, change your lifestyle a bit, challenge yourself and be consistent and patient and you will achieve the body you want.

Week 76-78
Weight:120.8
So a couple of blah weeks.....I hurt my stupid arm (fell on the sidewalk while running) and I can barely move it let alone do a push-up, Brady is training for 2 weeks at Camp Williams and I have been eating everything in sight!! My workouts have been a bit sporadic and I think my weight creeped up a bit last week but I am getting it back down. I hate those times when you feel unmotivated and out of control--it happens to the best of us.......Here I go again, ready to be disciplined and balanced (as much as possible).
Here are some yummy pizza recipes that I found-perfect for summer, grilling and eating light:)

Still trying to find that balance between being thin and being obsessive. I feel great where I am at and it hasn't been too hard to maintain, but I don't want to go down the road where my thoughts are too centered on being lean.
Monday-10 mile run outside (unofficial PR:8.05 pace)
Tuesday-3 Circuits of Spartacus
Wednesday-7 mile run outside (8.25 pace)
Thursday-Upper/Lower body/sprints circuit
Friday-4 mile speed run (7.11 pace)
Saturday-Yoga
Monday-Half Marathon-came in 3rd place-1:44-yippee! (7.55 pace with a good amount of uphill and incline)
Tuesday-Lean belly workout
Wednesday-rest
Thursday-3 circuits Spartacus
Friday-Yoga
Saturday-5.5 mile run outside (8.36 pace-slow and tired)
Breakfast truly is the most important meal of the day. It gets your metabolism going and helps you to eat less throughout the day.
Here is a great site I found for some great breakfast recipes.
