Holy Cow I just realized TODAY is SEPTEMBER 15th which means only 8 weeks EXACTLY till the wedding! So much to do, so little time!
I spent all weekend studying and playing with Missy (when she made it impossible to study)! She is pretty good at making me take study breaks!
I just keep telling myself I’ll sleep once I get my RD and the wedding is over… that is my pep talk… pretty sad because I am literally telling myself “in 2 months you can sleep all you want.” I feel there is something very wrong with that, worse still is that little pep talk is actually working motivation wise. Whatever works right?
I think I over obsessed a bit on planning my workouts and meals this week. I was bored studying so my mind would wander to the perfect workout and meal plan. Super distracting… anyways here is what is on the agenda, I hope it inspires you to take a few moments and plan out your meals/workouts or try a new recipe!
I’m mostly sticking to part 2 of my 1/2 marathon training schedule:
Sunday-OFF
Monday– 4 miles (incorporate sprints)
Tuesday– CT/ST
Wednesday– 4 miles
Thursday– Upper Body ST
Friday– Long Run 8-9 miles
Saturday– Cross Fit
I may drop in on a run club this week, we will see how brave I get! I am desperately trying to incorporate more strength training which means less days off. The plan is to let my body tell me what is going to fly and what is not, and then listen accordingly (that’s the hard part.)
Now onto the more fun part…FOOD!
Grocery Shopping
Since we didn’t go shopping last week we were definitely on edge for produce, I’m surprised some of it held on as long as it did.
Trader Joe’s Loot
Sprouts Loot
Plus a planned Costco trip for tomorrow when Paul gets back. On the list: Parmesan Cheese, Berries/Fruit, Spinach, Cheese, Shrimp and printer Ink. We will see what we actually end up with, Costco is a dangerous place for me.
