Sara's Week #4: May 20- May 25 Goals and Weigh In

This Week!
Weigh In: 127.6 lbs (No Change)

1- Organize for 15 minutes per day- I DID IT! Got some of the office, kitchen and bedroom.
2- Continue Half Marathon Training per schedule (Mon, Tues, Thurs, Fri, Sat)- I did all but Saturday because I have a respiratory illness and want to recover so I can keep going next week. Maybe running at night in the rain was NOT a wise decision. ;)
3- Do at least 3 Italian Lessons- I DID IT!  Plus I got the audio CDs in my car so I can practice while I drive.


Granted I did a couple of these all today but I got it done all the same!

Half Marathon Progress:
5/13: 3 miles @ 13:40 min/mile
5/14: 2 miles @ 11:40 min/mile
5/16: 3 miles @ 11:12 min/mile
5/17: 3.6 miles @ 11:53 min/mile (my run in the rain)

Izzy is no longer welcome to go with me. ;)
Something that helped me remember what I needed to do was to have it scheduled in my phone so I would get an alert and it would remind me to organize or do my Italian lesson.

Other Wins:
I went to the store and got me some fresh produce and almond milk so now I can have my protein shakes again. Yippee!
I finished my book "Are We There Yet?" AMAZING book. You need to read it. Let me know when you want to borrow it..... I said 'when'....not 'if'.  ;D
My clothes are fitting better! Wahoo! My love handles are saying their last goodbyes! My legs are getting more defined. This is happening much quicker than I expected! My skin is looking much healthier.... people aren't lying! I really think it is the sweat coming out of my pores that just cleanses and detoxes my skin.... weird but awesome!

Things I won't do next week.... eat 2 bags of candy or buy cookies and cream ice cream. Ooops... I blame it on the marathon training. tee hee. =D But NO MORE. I felt gross after I ate it. I'll buy my Dreyers fruit bars instead for something sweet.

Week #4 Goals:
1- Do 1 thing on my To-Do List every day. ( I have a loooong list that NEEDS to get done!)
2- Continue Marathon Training
3- Practice band stuff for 15 minutes every day. I need to learn this crap! I got a comp on Sat.

Trick for this week. I am going out of town Fri early until Monday morning so I need a plan if I am going to do this thing

Mon- run 4 miles
Tues- run 3 miles
Wed- rest/ stretch and strengthen
Thurs- run 3 miles
Fri- run 2 miles or cross + strengthen if hotel gym
Sat- 4 miles
Sun- rest/ stretch and strengthen (maybe)

I will ask the hotel if they have an exercise room and do it at nights. If not, I will just run around the hotel or take someone with me.
I think I am going to look into a treadmill so I can do it at home at night. I don't want to get sick or taken.

Needs: Send me "what's up"s throughout the week! Find us some more motivational posters!
