After a very sick weekend battling strep throat, laryngitis, and a sinus infection, I got up this morning trying to decide whether to spend one more day sleeping it off, or actually get out of bed and do something. Motivated by the extreme jump in my weight after a weekend of inactivity and stuffing my face with rich delicious foods and candy, I rounded up Elijah and Britnee and set out to do three miles of running. After the first mile, both kids were feeling sick, so I went on alone. Wow! Eating hoardes of halloween candy right before bed must have given me extra energy, because I felt fabulous while running! I decided to go ahead and make it five miles, which I did in 48:59. Not a great time - my energy was good but my muscles felt tired and sore. After my run, I remembered that I was supposed to meet some friends at the dance studio to practice some of our tapping, so I tapped for about 45 minutes. Then, after some shoe shopping, I headed back home to do my P90X legs workout (minus the back) and ab-ripper. This evening I finished it all up with some swimming at the pool - I did 100 lengths following the same workout as I did last week. I ate really good all day, except for a small sliver of pumpkin pie with whipped cream after the swim. I balanced it out with a raspberry protein shake, though, so I think it's okay. :) |
