oh man...

Its already Thursday.  Shall I start the recap???

Fail:

-I've eaten my weight in pasta this week. 
-Went out for yogurt at Menchie's (fat free and topped with fruit, not too bad.  I just love those little poppy fruit things you can put on it.  yummmmm)
-Made a gazillion cookies but I had to.  They are supposed to help me produce more milk.  oatmeal, flax seed, brewers yeast and chocolate.  Yeah, I'm sure that chocolate has amazing milk making properties. I have to eat many of these cookies so I can produce lots of milk for the bambino.  I wouldn't even eat cookies if it were about me but its not about me.  Its about the BABY.  cookies for a happy baby. sold.

Win:

-I hit the gym every day.   Plus I did track tuesday and I ran (if it can be called that) 2 other times. 

My running is seriously horrific.  And I know, I know...its 90 million degrees out and I just had a baby and blah blah blah.  I WANT TO BE A RUNNER AGAIN.  This was my mantra as I ran (slowly) tonight.  I kept telling myself I am going to be  a runner again dammit and I tried SOOOO hard to push myself.  And a good song would come on and I'd kinda get in the zone for a sec and then I would be gasping for breath and I'd look down and I'd only gone like 1/4 of a mile and my heart rate was like 180.  1/4 mile REALLY?!?!  The good news is that my heart rate came out of SVT or whatever ungodly rhythm that I put myself in relatively quickly tonight.  And my heart rate didn't get super high til the end (it really was 90 million degrees out) But I just can't seem to get the 'hang' of running again. 

Do you ever have a really fast and/or good song come on and you just start running faster and faster because of the music and you barely realize it until the song is over and all of a sudden you can't breath and realize how fast you were going.  That used to happen to me on my long runs when Prodigy- Smack my Bitch Up would come on. 

I really keep meaning to take pics of stuff to put on here.  Like last night I met some of my amazing friends for dinner and some drinks.  They are friends who I met through training but they definitely aren't just 'training' friends anymore.  We laughed a lot and had a blast.  Would have been a good photo op but I forgot.  I'll try to do better.  Blogs with lots of pics are way more fun to read, I know. 

Somehow I managed to get myself into working the next 5 days.  in a row. dude. that sucks.  Hope those milk cookies really work because I'm gonna be a pumping fool.  not looking forward to this.  plus I have to try to fit in a workout monday, plus work, plus swim lessons for the girls.

this week:

body pump 2x
spin 2x
run 3x (woo-hoo)

total weight loss: 29lbs

Great job on working out this week! So far I've done 3 miles. All week. With 14 on the schedule for tomorrow. Oops. :) I'm not the best at using pics in my posts either, so don't sweat it!
