Fell off the wagon!

See what happens with there is upheaval in the household?  The hubby goes away for a whole week and I don't blog for a whole week.  Not that I didn't have plenty of time and there were no distractions -- I honestly can't explain why I'm only just now blogging.

With that said, I did complete three pretty tough work outs throughout the week.  Unfortunately, I didn't run, which is starting to become a problem as the first race is a month away.  I need to stop thinking "it's only 13 miles" because 13 miles or not, I'll keel over at the finish line if I don't get myself properly conditioned.

Time to renew and re-invigorate.  Tomorrow, it's on!  (Today, rest.)

The meal plan's going well too.  I had been "selling" www.myfitnesspal.com (or the app version) to my clients as a tool for weightloss but hadn't actually logged foods myself.  In the middle of last week, though, I downloaded the app on my new iPhone and have consistently logged my food and drink intake.  For my chosen plan, I'm allotted 1200 calories per day, but I learned pretty quickly that 1200 isn't very much - especially with the way I eat.  (6 meals per day)  Because you earn back calories for exercising, there's no bigger incentive to work out!  A vigorous work out like mine gives me an additional 50 calories -- TOTALLY worth the energy, right?!
