Healthy Living Recap 7.21.2014

EAT WELL

LAST WEEK: Pretty good. I had an amazing dinner but ate way too much gluten (my fault completely). I feel very blah for a few days but felt bloated but surprisingly did not look it. I was pretty good until we got to Vegas. That's where I ate also more gluten and drank a lot and I look so bloated I look pregnant. I have to get back on track for the week!


COOKED: 

• Meal 1: Chinese chicken with squash noodles and edamame
  
• Meal 2: Macaroni and Cheese
  
• Meal 3: leftover macaroni, lemonade chicken with a spicy cranberry sauce (recipe coming this week!)

THIS WEEK:

• I have to get back on the healthy eating train. Vegas I went a bit off the rails and definitely am paying for it today.
  
  MEALS TO COOK:
  • I am going to get some freezer meals out of the way. Not sure yet but I will get creative!

SLEEP WELL
LAST WEEK: My sleep was okay this week was better until Vegas. See those 5-6 hours of sleep? Yup, Vegas. I did recover well last night. My body is tired but I'm not sleepy, if that makes sense.

THIS WEEK:
Hoping to keep my sleep schedule around 8 hours a night. It hasn't been as hot as night so hopefully that will continue. 


EXERCISE WELL
LAST WEEK:

• Monday: rest day. My body is not having it for some reason. I did get in my core workout though
  
• Tuesday: 5k easy pace (34:39). I kept having to stop from the humidity-blah
  
• Wednesday: 30 min yoga/stretching and core
  
• Thursday: 5k without stopping! 32:55 which is close to my PR. Glad I did it but it made me SO hungry!
  
• Friday: 11 miles at a good pace. 2 hours total for 10:54ish pace. 
  
• Saturday: rest day (but we can count dancing in Vegas!)
  
• Sunday: rest day for return back from Vegas and and 3 mile run (such a bad run but I did :30 sec/:40 sec and got through) when I returned home. 

• Core workout is going great! loving it and it actually is getting slighter easier and I am definitely seeing results. Im not sure why but my body has been so tight lately. I am going to continue to spend a lot of time stretching and try to get loose. 
  
  THIS WEEK:
  • Monday: rest day and core
    
  • Tuesday: 5k easy pace and core
