Workout Accountability : Tuesday
Morning Ladies! I hope everyone had a great Memorial day weekend! The weather was awesome here, made the weekend really nice. I probably ate more along my maintaining calorie limit this weekend versus my deficit. I had a bachelorette party on Saturday and two picnics this weekend. I did work out every day though! I went to spin and lifted on Saturday. The Saturday instructor kicks my butt, seriously. Sunday I did a 5k outside. And yesterday FI and I ran to his gym, lifted and ran back. It was only about a mile each way, but it was a really good work out. It was a nice way to get in some cardio.
How did everyone else do?

Re: Workout Accountability : Tuesday
Once upon a time, there was a boy who loved a girl, and her laughter was a question he wanted to spend his whole life answering.
Yesterday I went on a short run, but I upped my speed, so I feel good about that. It usually takes me about 9 and a half minutes to run 1km (slow, slow, slow, I know - but hey, I'm doing it!) and yesterday I pushed to 8 and a half minutes per km. I thought that was a decent improvement! Anyway, I only ended up doing 3.75km instead of the 5 planned because my legs felt like jello after pushing them
Today I'll take the doggie for a walk and maybe fit a bike ride in. I slept like poop last night - went to bed at 11pm but only tossed and turned until about 5am, then slept until 9:40.. so while I feel like I "slept in" based on the time, I am also exhausted. So we'll see what kind of exercise happens. Good thing about having a dog is that you have to go out for a walk.
I was eating like crazy over the weekend (yesterday, no joke, I tracked nearly 2,300 calories!) and now I'm paying for it. While I did manage to get in some very long walks on the beach, my exercise was not exactly on par with my eating.
Today is a new day, though, and I started it with 30ds (with 8 pound weights) and I've been eating really well. Tonight I'm going to do the elliptical. My goal is to really be careful this week with diet and exercise because next weekend is a destination bachelorette party and I know it'll be very tempting to overdo it again.
Have a great afternoon!
Today I met with my trainer so a nice heavy weight workout.
I just scheduled my first dress fitting for June 18th. Definitely will keep on target with the healthy eating and workouts. If I could lose another 5 pounds by then that would be ideal.

Yesterday I ran 4 miles, 3 at race pace and 1 for cool down. My sister and I just did one of her 30 minute NIke Training workouts on her iphone. It's so fun, and I'm still sore from the last time we did them.
