Pounds lost this week -3.4
Pounds lost total -13
I have 14.4lbs to hit my stated goal... if I hit 155 and feel good... I'm going for 145!
In other news, the last week was pretty crazy - hence my lack of blog posts! On Friday, Ryan had surgery so I spent a long day at the hospital... I thought about blogging during my "free time" there but I think I was just too nervous about how the surgery was going and such.
The weekend was very low key as Ryan was pretty sleepy and out of it. I also still had my parents dogs while they were in Mexico, so there was just a lot going on. Oh and did I mention that it snowed 6 inches Friday night?!!? I spent Saturday morning clearing the driveway, sidewalks & back patio. Because of the 6 inches of snow, I chose not to attend the scheduled 7 mile training run. Instead, I ran it Sunday afternoon after the sun had been out for a while and sidewalks were starting to clear up.
One thing I learned is some homeowners are LAZY and need to shovel their sidewalks faster... I was running at least 36 hours after it had finished snowing. I learned that 7 miles is not physically harder than 6 miles (although my right hip did start to hurt after about 5 1/2 miles)... but it is mentally a lot more difficult. I wasn't really thinking when I set out on my planned route. I knew there was a few hills, but I got more than I bargained for and had to walk a few times to catch my breath. I knew that I just had to finish the 7 miles, I didn't necessarily have to do them at my half "pace"... so I took it slow and steady and finished with an 11:44 pace, which is about 18 seconds slower than my intended pace to finish the half in 2 hours 30 minutes.
I had volleyball tonight - we won all 3 games!! Here's my team...
We are the "Mother Truckers" because we are sponsored by CH Robinson... a 3rd party trucking/logistics company that a few of my teammates work for! :) I'll have to take a better picture of the logo - because it's pretty awesome!
After volleyball, even though I didn't want to - I headed to the Y for a 3 mile run. They always say that "you never regret a workout once your done" and whoever "they" are, is right :) I felt accomplished... so I could be home by 7pm and enjoy the rest of the night on my couch with Colby, a blanket & the Biggest Loser!
Night All :)
