Thursday JM 30 Day shred Workout 2 (25 minutes)

I was trying to get back into things (after taking a week or two off strength) so I used 10 lb free weights for the first two sets and then 5 lb weights for the last strength set. With going to the dentist yesterday and feeling yucky this week I had not worked out in 2 days as well. Hopefully, I can get back into my full workout schedule next week.

Tuesday Running 3 miles (37 minutes)

Plus, three hours fixing the closet shelves that broke while we were on vacation and re-organizing said closet. Put a fork in me, because I am cooked!

Monday JM Workout 2 (25minutes)

Tired and icky feeling today. I think my iron might be low from nursing T? I guess I should try an iron supplement. Blargh.

Sickness, Ect.

So, after my AMAZING run last Monday, I woke up with a nasty cold the next day.  By Wednesday I was running a fever.  I am still fighting that cold, it's a bad one!  John gave it to me, the bugger. ;)
We still went on our camping trip after I got over the fever.  We camped on a river and it was so awesome!  I've never been to a river before, so the current thing was new and exciting for me.  And now I am SO SORE!  Lol!  Muscles I've never used before in my entire life are sore! ;)
I weighed in today at 138 which is not surprizing because life has been stress stress and more stress for the past couple of weeks.  I am not going to actively diet, but I am going to start cutting out my stress eating type food, like chex mix and chocolate.  I'll still indulge sometimes, but I can definitely afford to rein that in a LOT. 
I'm not going to work out today because of the afor mentioned cold, but hopefully I can tomorrow.

Goal for this week- get back on a low sugar/high protein diet (with lots and lots of fruits and veggies!)

Starting the Week Off Right...Hopefully

Today was a stressful day.  Wait.  Let's rewind.
Yesterday was my birthday!  And it was a good day!
Okay, and then today some bad things happened that were stressful.  And for the first time in my life, I was like, "I want to go for a run and clear my head!"  I have gotten to the point where running is a good mental exercise for me!  Physically I still totally hate it, but apparently it's good for my mental well-being.  Whoda thunk it?
I did 3 miles today, too!  Without walking!  First time ever!  So that the first time doing three miles without walking, AND the longest I've ever run without walking!  Booyah, go me!
I'm so going to kill this triathlon, whether I run it on race day or not.
