Not much to report. Had a sort of busy weekend. I do not blog on weekends I realized and that is good because that is the family time when the husband is home and I really do not want to be in front of the computer blogging.
I have been doing wonderful on my food & exercise!!!! Exercise is still the same of course along with ST'ing. So maybe I should have just said with FOOD since that was the change and struggle. It has been 5 days of no counting of calories and going with my body. I have NOT had ANY problems what so ever. No struggles, and no regrets. Which is AMAZING, WONDERFUL, AWESOME, and so many other words. :) I eat when I am hungry and stop when I am full. Then usually 15 mins later I am hungry AGAIN. ALWAYS 15 mins not 16 not 14 but 15! When that happens ( NO does not happen every 15 mins just sometimes!) I have a piece of fruit, cottage cheese, or yogurt. Something along those lines ALL HEALTHY choices! Last night I made steak for dinner. I only ate half of everything (steak, baked potato, & carrots) and I just finished eating it few mins ago after my ST'ing. I was a LITTLE hungry and KNEW in about 3 mins I am going to be STARVING I feel it. I need it so...now I am good til my pretzels @ noon. :) I still measure stuff BTW. I am not eyeballing anything!! Just to clarify. Only thing is I am not counting what I eat. So...I am not going crazy. I feel good about myself. That is all that matters.
I went out and got a calendar @ the dollar store yesterday and it is hanging by my desk with my running schedule on it. :-D I have decided that starting today (already started) I am adding an extra day of running. Which is Tuesday's and they are HILLS. Oh boy tomorrow is my FIRST HILL session. This is going to hurt...(in a good way haha)
Picture of my schedule for November:
I also decided for my Marathon training I am following one of the Runner World...BUT ONLY the long runs. I can not to 5 days or ALL those miles during the week. I personally just can not. So I am doing S- Rest, M- 5mi, T- 3mi HILLS, W- Rest, T- 5mi, F- Rest, S- LSD. So I am keeping my 5 miles that I have always done, adding 3 mi hills, and doing LSD on Sat instead of Fri. Just following thee LSD amounts. Why am I doing this? Cause I can and I just know if I do all those miles and 5 days I will for SURE wear out, and NOT be able to make it. The LSD is what matters. The other plans I was deciding from I just didn't like certain things about them. Only part of the one I am doing is they have you add 2 miles each week. (Other plans do to) it is just makes me nervous since I am used to 1/2-1 mile added each week. Oh boy. I know I can do it.
Shawn lost his temp job. Just as I thought. They got tired of the last minute schedule that the post office has been giving him since he started. :-\ It is what it is...
I have been going crazy trying to plan out what and when I should eat things for long runs. I have no idea about any of it. I have been doing alot of searching online and reading things. Still thouh it is overwhelming!! I do not know what to eat when!
That is about all folks..
XOXOXO
