This Monday, I'm
Whining over
- Being anemic. It sucks. If I don't take my daily vitamins or eat super clean and be mindful of my iron intake, I have no energy and I'm freezing. Take today, it was a nice sunny 50s, but I was freezing the entire day up to now. I'm wearing a tee, two hoodies, two pants, & my soccer referee socks. I'm wrapped in a blanket, the heater is on, and I'm still cold! I also have significantly lesser energy. Its insane.
- Plateaued again! Its okay because I would rather plateau than gain, especially this season, I was planning on dropping 10 pounds this December, however I'm swinging back and forth in a 5 pound range. I know weight varies, and isn't really a good indicator and 5 lbs is really a low number to gauge a solid weight lost, so I'll take the plateau. I've pretty much know by now how my body responds to certain food & workouts so I know how to break through plateaus.
- P90x2!!! I'm so excited. I know I don't need all the medicine balls, but I've been wanting some anyway and also a weight bar. New gear always motivates me to workout harder! I'm really so stoked about P90x. Its amazing how efficient it is and I can't wait to get into x2. I was watching the videos today, I didn't start yet, and it just got me all excited. I'm going to revamp my strength training schedule to maximize my time while I'm not running as much. These days, I'm running about 3-5 miles... a week. So different from my daily 5ks before, but its okay. I need this rest before I start half marathon training for April!
- Hollywood Half! I'm so looking forward to this half. First of all, its in my favorite part of the country, SoCal. Second, its an inaugural event. I love inaugural events. The energy is insane! The first half I ever ran was an inaugural and I loved it. Third, the medals are gorgeous! This also means I get to see my SoCal family in April! I'm so stoked! I'm also cheesing over training. I get to test out my new shoe, the one hanging on the tree!
- Abs! I know my core is stronger and some days I'm convinced I can feel em even through my belly, now I just need to see em! If you didn't know, my goal for 2012 is abs! Its going to be way challenging than running for new PRs and moving up weights because its heavily incorporating eating. I eat clean Monday-Thursday. The weekends, not all bets are off, but I don't eat as clean as I should be. New challenge abs are, and I accept that challenge.
