So, yesterday left me feeling pretty sore in my quads. Today, unfortunately for me, was my hill run day. I went to the tredmill and tried my hardest, but my legs were just too dang tired! I ended up walking briskly for most of it, and made my incline a little steeper to compensate for my walking. I did it, though! I am not sure how my "race pace" run tomorrow will be. Luckily for me my race pace is pretty slow! :)
I did better with food today. I turned down a delicious chocolate cookie, and tried hard to limit my carbs. I wasn't perfect - but who is? I had a new snack today that I LOVED. I found these cute little tubs of all natural fruit sorbet at the grocery and bought two mango and two raspberry. I had a mango tonight and it was really delicious. I like that they are all natural, so I can feel like I'm having a treat on my semi-strict diet. My goal is to be even better with diet tomorrow so I can fuel up for my race pace run. I'm hoping I'll have tons of energy since I'll have an exam I'm way nervous about done with by the time I run at night. Bleck, I hate Biology!
I haven't mentioned my little "reward system" I've established for myself. I printed off these incredibly corny dollar bills with my face on them and whenever I am "good" with diet and exercise, I give myself a few. Actually, I make my husband do it in a very ceremonious way. I let myself spend the money at the end of each month. This month I made a whopping $42, but I'm deciding to roll it over to possibly buy a sexy dress I've been eyeing at the store :) It's been really motivating and I really like the system. If anyone is interested, I can give you the site where I created my own money!
Keep on runnin'
