A Little Bit of Rest and Weekend Plans

When my alarm went off this morning lets just say I was not eager to get up. For some reason I woke up ever hour last night on the dot. If you know me you know I have to have my sleep or I am not the happiest person in the world. So I decided since I only have one workout left this week I would do it tomorrow. We are going to the bf's parents this weekend and they live close to a track so that will be a good time to practice running outside.  I will share with you on Monday how it went. I am pretty excited about this weekend because all the women in the bf's family and I are having our first yard sale. I love an excuse to clean out my closet because I tend to be a little bit of a hoarder with clothes because I think I will wear them again someday. Wrong! ha As of now I have 6 large trash bags full so hopefully everyone buys everything and I make a ton of money. One can dream right? Anyways the reason we decided to have it this weekend is because the bf's cousin is having a baby shower. I just love baby showers, all the eewwing and awwinggg make me smile. I will like always take many pictures and share them on Monday.

 

Now to the food..... I had to make something rather small because I knew I was leaving for the weekend and I hate to waste food. (aka money ha) So I whipped up some of my favorite foods for my lunch today.

 

Quinoa, turkey sausage, asparagus and hot sauce. Great combination!

 

and then we have my newest favorite thing to eat, sweet potato fries! Yum.

My Weekly Splurge & Registered for my First 5k

I want to start off with sharing my weekly splurge. I am sure you have realized that I love Thai food. I literally could eat it every day. But that would be rather ridiculous right? Maybe not. ha. Anyways I always order the same thing and it tastes amazing every time. Since changing my eating habits I no longer eat the rice and those yummy little shrimp springs rolls. I stick with my meat and veggies, which is a perfect amount. I get the Pud Gratium. It is chicken with broccoli and cabbage in a garlic sauce. Doesn't it look delish!! But I have to drink tons of water today because I am sure this is FULL of sodium.

 

I then of course have to add to it to make it as spicy as I can handle.

 

Can't wait for next week!

 

Now to something very important to me.

 

I AM OFFICIALLY REGISTERED FOR MY 1ST 5K!!!

 

 

 

As you can see I am pretty excited about this. I have always wanted to get into races but honestly was just too lazy. I liked the thought of races not the thought of actually doing them. So I am so happy to share that on September 14th I will be running my 1st and hopefully not my last :) race.

 

So A few weeks ago I knew I needed to start some sort of training so I didn't die when it got time for the race. So I made up a schedule where I started out at running a mile and each week I go up .25. I keep a calender at my desk at work so that I can check it off every day. This also keeps me motivated.

Then squares that are highlighted are days that I have already completed. (4 times a week)

 

 

This square that is highlighted is my final weight loss goal date.

 

 

And then of course I the day of the race highlighted.

 

I will keep you updated with how the training goes. As of now it is going pretty well!!
