A little bit of this, a lot of that…
I am unbelievably exhausted. Today’s eats where a little bit of this – healthy stuff like baked tofu,asparagus and rice and a lot of that – unhealthy stuff like chocolate candy, ice cream and hot chocolate. Obviously, I didn’t take pics of all the damage. Sorry, I’m a mess today. I’m going to sleep… Hopefully tomorrows eats will be healthier and accounted…

Maybe it's a sign…
Happy Sunday folks! I ended up going out dancing last night and even though I got to sleep around 3am, I woke up at 7am! Darn it. I couldn’t go back to sleep so I just got up and started my day. I did 30 Day Shred Level 1 and took a short walk. Now I am exhausted 🙁 I…

Wake Up and smell the carbs
Lunch was salad with hummus and an open faced grilled cheese with an apple. I love carbs and cheese – whoever thought of this combination should be given some kind of nobel prize. I had a carb attack yesterday around 3pm and went straight for the sugary cereal. After munching on more than one cup I realized I was just…

And by Half I mean Full…
Half Marathon Training Clarification : The mileage on my weekly long runs is actually the mileage I would run to train for a FULL MARATHON. My training program is almost treating the OC Half as a practice run for the full marathon. I am considering running the SD RnR May 31st, so I need to have a lot more miles…

Half Mary Training
Here is my first draft of my half marathon training. I have not done any speed work in the past and this schedule requires a lot of it, so I am going to do the first week and gauge what I can do based on that. Like I said earlier, this program is pretty advanced for me, so if I…
