So not only is my plan to clean the house from North to South to East to West before Easter (which this year is March 31st! I know right!!!) But I am also re-re-committing myself to healthy living. *I probably should add a couple more re-re’s on there since I’ve committed many times already. Like I’ve said before I’m not completely unhealthy – but I do like to snack and my snacks are usually in triangular salty form… Hee hee.
My nemesis…
I mean I can’t help myself…I say they are for HunBun but do you think that HunBun actually eats those Hint of Lime Tostitos? Heck no…that’s all me!
Anyway. I’ve renewed my quest for a balance of living healthy and healthy living. I am really motivated this year to get my 2:00 goal time at my next half marathon (Disneyland in September). I’ve been working on speed intervals on the treadmill combined with weighted & body weight exercises. This morning I did 8 sprints at 7.0mph with 5.0mph rests between with a 7.7mph on that last one. I did each sprint/rest at 1 min each. My plan is to do that for a week then increase those sprint/rest times to 1.5 min and up and up until I’m running at 7.0mph for long stretches of time. I think that gradual approach will get me used to turning my feet over faster and keeping that speed consistent.
To support my running/toning plan I’ve returned to my blended approach to eating. I use the Tone It Up plan for both eating and exercise. I also refer to a great book I read, S.A.S.S. Yourself Slim by Cynthia Sass, which helps with balancing each meal with healthy elements. Both are super easy plans and don’t ask you to give up anything – which I like a lot. Here’s what I’ve been eating the last 2 days (Oh, I didn’t take photos of the 2 handfuls of peanut M&Ms I shoved in my piehole after dinner, HA!).
Protein pancake and fresh fruit
Yesterday’s snack – blueberries & coffee
Bought something new for quick lunches…and Gluten Free to boot!
Rice & Bean Veggie bowl for Lunch
Tuesday’s breakfast. Oh yeah, that is a green pancake.
So I’m doing pretty good and feeling pretty good too.
Later today after work I’ll be doing a crafty project to get all my race bibs out of the drawer and on display. I’ll post the finished product when it’s all done(hopefully this week 🙂 ).
Crafty project for later
See ya later!
