EAT WELL

LAST WEEK:I carbloaded to my hearts content and did not break out this time! I worked on adding in more sugar (in the form of powerade) and salt after runs. The amount I'm sweating is starting to effect my salt levels. I plan continuing this for Dumbo. 
oh and I took Ralph to Rita's and now he is obsessed with me! We may be going back this week 

COOKED: 

• MEAL 1: meat and veggies in the crockpot-I added in potatoes as a carbload
• MEAL 2: grilled cheese and tomato soup-OMG I could eat it every day
• MEAL 3: homemade salsa-so good I ate the whole thing by myself! I used hatch chiles and really liked them. 
• MEAL 4: eggs for the week
• MEAL 5: mac n cheese for carbloading

THIS WEEK:

• MEAL 1: leftover veggies with sausage for dinner for the week
• 
  I am trying to stay on track with healthy eating, but it will be hard with my bday coming up soon-free food! Also, I will not have much to cook this week as I am in 3 days of training and lunch is provided!

SLEEP WELL
LAST WEEK: I started off well but ended pretty bad. I was working on my first paper in graduate school and it took much longer to complete than I thought. Factor that in with long runs and it was not too great. I redeemed myself last night though. 

THIS WEEK:Gotta stay as close to 8 hours as possible. I need to sleep so my body can be prepared for the craziness of school starting and Dumbo! 

EXERCISE WELL
LAST WEEK:

• Monday: PiYo Core
• Tuesday: 5k easy pace-11:45 pace
• Wednesday: Rest Day but helped move at work
• Thursday: unplanned rest day (however still helped move stuff in my office)
• Friday: 5k at 12:03 pace
• Saturday: 5.3 miles at 12:35 pace
• Sunday: 13 miles at 11:38 pace 

Totally didn't do core. I need to get back into it! Also, I got the worst charley horse of my life on Thursday. On Friday it was still pretty sore. When I roll, I can still feel it. 

THIS WEEK:

• Monday: Rest Day
• Tuesday: 5k
• Wednesday: PiYo Sweat
• Thursday: 2.2 miles of speed work
• Friday: PiYo 
• Saturday: 6 miles
• Sunday: Rest Day because it's my bday party!!!

BE WELL 
THIS WEEK: INSANITY. Work was crazy and I stayed late every day (47 hours of work in 4 days!!). However, I think I have come up with a plan on how to balance everything. I will explain more soon :) 
I was also able to finish my 2 presentations for my Conference in Denver right after Dumbo. 


HIGHLIGHTS:

• getting in all my runs. It has seriously lessened my anxiety so much. I could run 26 miles tomorrow if I had to (it would have to be slow but that's okay!)
• cooking so much. I loved all of the food I made and also saved a ton of money
• RITA'S. Always a highlight and I finally tried their custard. 
• Finishing my first paper in graduate school! and doing it early. I also worked on a new technique for papers which worked beautifully. I can't wait to try it out again
• WDW Passholder magicband and i PAINTED IT PURPLE! AND IT WORKED!
• a new laptop-obsessed with it! I also got a free printer-not sure what to do with it. 
• A post is coming soon (I promise!) on an update to rundisney costumes.

NEXT WEEK:

• finishing up my first graduate school class
• training our new student workers at work
• Disneyland trip-I need see Magical fireworks and World of Color since I won't be able to see them during Dumbo
• MY BIRTHDAY PARTY!! Beyond excited to share it all with you!
