monday monday monday.

first, sorry for not posting for a while..things started to get busy and i forgot! so here's the scoop:

As I said earlier i hurt my knee blah blah blah. Well guess what? It's better!! (knock on wood). Last week I went to the gym bright and early and mostly stayed with the elliptical to strengthen my legs and have not such a hard surface pounding on my knee again. I think that was a good decision because I had no problems when it came to the elliptical but when I tried to run mid week I wasn't able to. But the elliptical kicked my butt for 30min a day and I did arm and ab strengthening exercises along with it.

I do have to admit that my healthy eating spree tanked this weekend with my visit back to cincinnati. Drinks, burgers, panera (which is NOT as healthy as you think btw..look it up next time you decide "oh a turkey sandwich sounds good..") did me in. But the good thing was even though I was tired from driving home and not getting much sleep (thanks pike boy's. your're on my black list...) I still wanted to get up and work out to make my bad eating right. A month or so ago I would have just said "Oh well I'll eat better this week" and not have gotten up off my butt.

So this morning I got up again and went to the gym and was able to run! I ran for about 15 min at a moderate pace with incline and then switched over to the elliptical to not overdo it. Whoohoo.

Now on to more fun stuff. We are all signed up for the RAT RACE on April 16th right?? 10K look out. AND AND AND spring break is only two months away (eek!! bathing suits!!) so I plan on keeping up my butt kicking workouts and will hopefully see some results soon!!
