Eating on my fish has been so yummy, but lately I've felt over-sugared, and bleh. Maybe it's because I eat about 2 or 3 fishies almost every time I go into my room. Fuel for cleaning the house, people! So, I decided to go off sweets for this week. I admit, this afternoon I've had to remind myself not to eat any Swedish Fish, and I resisted making chocolate chip cookies tonight even though I was cold and hot, melty, gooey cookies sounded so good!
Here's a look at workouts for this past week:
Monday: We babysit the kids for a couple days, so we went on a 2 mile walk.
Tuesday: 2.4 mile run, and another mile walk with the kids.
Wednesday: 2.5 mile run.
Thursday: 3.1 mile bike ride
Friday: 2.44 mile run
Today: 3.5 mile runMileage is still low, but I'm just so happy to be out there building it back up again! Loved this evening's run of a 3.5 miler. Thankfully, my legs are starting to feel stronger on the hills. I think I really need to do more biking like I did when we were training for our 10k, because it really helps build muscle and makes running the hills easier. I've gotten a day or two behind on the Push-up Challenge, but I'm going to catch up this week!
Hope you all had a fantastic weekend!
Too funny that you opened the Fish! I have been wondering if biking would help my running. But biking is SO HARD for me. :)
ReplyDeleteNice week of workouts!
I am thrilled you have been running so much! You have inspired me to really start getting it done again. I want to run everyday, even if it is just a few miles here and there, it really does add up.
ReplyDeleteYAY for swedish fish, I can't even have that stuff in my house and the stuff to make chocolate chip cookies....FORGET IT....I WOULD EAT THE DOUGH lol :)
You have crazy willpower if you can resist swedish fish, those are too yummy!
ReplyDeleteGreat week for exercise, you're really building back up that mileage!
:)
yay for your running!! I am excited for you. I did not realize biking could help you for strength on hills? I really need to take up biking...it seems like a good break from running but still an awesome workout!
ReplyDeleteI have totally been eating too many sweets lately...to the point where I have not even been craving dessert...and I ALWAYS crave dessert. haha!
I cant believe you resisted cookies though...they are my weakness :)
have a good night!
Perfect way to build up a base! I like biking too for the quad strength. I think you're totally right about being able to do hills better. And I LOVE swedish fish!
ReplyDeleteGood to know about the bike, guess I'll do it more. Thanks for all your comments and support! I totally need it this week. :)

I know sometimes I feel like I need to do the no sugar thing too. I will get overloaded and then just feel plain sick.

PS I think I may be one of the few people who don't like Swedish fish! I know, I am weird!
I am a sugar fiend and have been cutting back. It is day 5 and still hard, but I'm getting better! I think my skin is benefitting as well!
ReplyDeleteHope you have a great week Lindsey!
