So it's been awhile since I've posted. Hmm, let's see, what's been going on? OH YEAH, THE MOTHER-IN-LAW IS IN OHIO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!! (FYI: I am not.)
I am so happy to have my house back. When we got home from my sister-in-law's last night, I wanted to run screaming around the house naked. I refrained, but still. Seven blessed weeks of no one telling me to put on my seat belt or that I need a sweater because it's cold out and staring at me while I cook and insisting on watching TruTV all day long.
(I feel like I'm being really mean and petty now. I DO like her. Just, you know, in smaller doses than a month at a time.)
ANYWAY.
From a fitness perspective, here's what's new:
1) I have sort of an "acceptable weight range" that I have set in my head that is 132-138 pounds. Today I weighed in at 139. I think I might have had a little too much fun over the holiday. So I will be reining in the food a bit over the next couple of days and we'll see how that goes. I'm trying to not go psycho crazy and generally approach this way more casually than I am wont to do, but my perfectionistic self finds this challenging.
2) Andrea aka Miss Tenacity sent me a plan for getting me to run a 10 minute mile. I am so excited to get on it. I have a scheduled rest day tomorrow so maybe Tuesday. Yay!
3) My co-worker is putting together a tri training schedule for me! And letting me borrow, like, all her gear.
(Don't I have cool friends??)
4) I'm wavering a bit on joining the women's challenge. I want to, but really don't think it's a good idea. I know you can have whatever goals you want and they don't have to be weight loss, but I just think watching people have the awesome results they did this time while I stayed the same might be a trigger for me. So I think I'll sit it out this time.
5) I've started trying some Valerie Waters workouts. Today I did
this one, as written. I was worried about doing a circuit-style workout with no rest, but she said pregnant women can do them as long as they monitor their HR, so I figured, it can't be that bad. I did monitor my HR and it was fine.
I think that is all the news that's fit to print. Hope you all had a great holiday!
