Total miles this week: 12! Nice improvement over last week, slowly inching those miles up!

 

 

A productive evening 

When I got off work i was in a bad mood. It was a combination of just being frustrated with work and starting my period and probably grumpiness from eating so much crap lately, thankfully that is slowly changing, but still just a bad mood. 

Anyways I sat in traffic and made it home. I got a load of laundry started and some dishes done, then relaxed with an ice cream and watched an episode of bachelor in paradise……in know how lame lol

I decided to run when the sun went down. After my ice cream I got the clean clothes hung up on the line to dry then changed clothes and headed out. 

I went out just me and my ipod shuffle, left the puppy at home. Since I was in a bad mood I knew her stopping me to smell things would frustrate me. 

Just me and the sunset 

Got in just over 2 miles

My knees were a little sore since I’ve stepped the running back up pretty quickly, I’ve added miles and speed which you are not supposed to do, bad me. 

I need to work on that. 

Had battered fish fillets and garlic bread with bolognase sauce on it lol

Look at those ears!!!!!! 

I am in a better mood now. Running really is therapy. 

Good night. 

Tasty Tuesday 

Good morning!!!! 

Last night I went home and cooked some food up THEN went to the gym. That was weird lol. There was definitely some bargaining about not wanting to go. 

Meal prep happened 

Making taco boats. 

Also threw some bolognase  (spelling?) Basically meat pasta sauce in the slow cooker to cook overnight. 

Hit the gym for a short swim

Definitely a short swim, I should have done 800m but just wasn’t feeling it and was running out of time. 

Then took my hot shower at the gym since home water is still cold. 

Then home, ate dinner

Freaking delicious!!! And the crunch of the romaine is sooooo satisfying. 

Then off to bed. This morning i was up at the crack of dawn to put the pasta sauce away and head to the gym for AM strength training. On strength training days I end up taking 3 scoops of my protien and greens before 9am. By the time I finish my last shake

I don’t want to see a protien shake again for 2 days lol

As training intensifies to 2-a-days most days I feel like I am living out of a gym bag. 

Have a great morning!!!
