Wake up weight 166-  This is were I need ridicule and scorn and razzing to motivate me to do better.  I cracked yesteday and ate more than I should.  I'm starting to think I won't be able to hit 160 and maintain my upper body muscle at the same time.  Oh well.  I'll do my best with the 12 days I have left. 

LUNCH-  I had time for about a 20 minute workout so I did upper body weights focusing mainly on chest and lats with a little bit of biceps and shoulders thrown in.

PM-  Hoping for time to do a longer run, maybe 8 to 10 miles easy.

10 easy miles.  That was the best run I've had since returning to running!  It was an amazing night, low 70's, full moon, with a very slight breeze.  I felt quick and light on my feet,  but never felt like I was pushing hard.

Wake up weight 162-  Wow, I guess the tough love you guys showed me yesteday really worked.  If  I lose 4 pounds every time you guys verbally slap me around a bit, I may have to have you do it more often.  Don't let me get complacent with this one day loss.  I'm sure some of it is water weight.

AM

2 really easy miles followed by 10 hill sprints for a total of 3.5 miles

Abs and Core

Lower body weights

30 minutes stationary bike

 

PM

3 easy miles down at the park by the lake.  Some on grass, some on dirt, some on pavement.

Wake up weight 161- I guess I survived the Halloween party last night and even lost half a pound.  One more party tonight to survive.

Went running with Doone this morning bright and early before the kids got up.  It was really fun to run with her.
