Hardcore Workout

I woke up and had breakfast and told myself that once I finished my lesson plan (no later tha 10ish) then I could go run...i like using running as my reward...it is much better than waking up and thinking I have to go run.

Run was good. I saw other runners, I'mguessing the running store was doing something. they don't seem to change their path.

I tracked my food/calories for yesterday. 2500! 720 of that was a box of sugar babies...and two soda accounted from anotehr 200 calories. And I need to drink more water...I wonder if the problem is I am getting too little calories with just regular food. and that is why I over do it on the candy...hmm

I did weights today! I'm so proud of myself!

90 crunches (variety of side and reg on the ball)

2 sets of 10 lunges

1 set of 10 cross over lunges

2 sets of 10 24 lbs nose bleeds

2 sets of 20 8 lbs chest flies

2 sets of 10 45 lbs lateral chest pull down

I did some yoga to stretch out. Legs feel great.

Great hardcore workout today. It's a great idea to use running as your reward.

I definitely thing that eating more good stuff helps you stay away from the bad stuff.

Sugar babies have 720 calories - WOW!

I like the idea of using running as your reward for getting your work done! I wish I were disciplined enough to do that.

It's nice to have a run to look forward to.

Hey, you ran further than me today!

JD--haha a beat ya!

Aunt--yes when you eat the entire box it adds up! It was worth it...I'm such a food junkie!

Using running as my reward-I look at it this way--If I don't get my school work done then I can't get into teaching b/c I will fail--which mean I won't get that better paying job, which means less races and less running clothes and knitting! See it is full circle and all related! LOL
