Weekend Plans

I’m headed down to the beach this weekend! Woo Hoo!! I love the beach.

So, I did my long run this morning so I wouldn’t have to do it this weekend – 6 miles. It felt great! I rolled out of bed and threw on my clothes & walked out of the door & just hit it. I took it slow and it felt so great – I really enjoyed it. Even when I got home to take a shower I still felt really good. That’s the kind of run I love. But, I will say that’s the last time I do a long run on a workday – I was late! (Not major, but no more long runs before work).

I am taking my running shoes this weekend and will probably do a walk/ run for 40 minutes each morning, just to keep the momentum going. Next week I will absolutely get back on a normal workout routine. Plus, Sonja and I are going to start back doing legs on Thursdays again, so that’s very good news. Hopefully running & biking have helped, but it’s been like a month since I did a squat!

I am taking fruit, low fat honey grahams, and low fat wheat thins for snacking at the beach. So, I am hoping that will help me not get out of control. I am also taking some of my “optimum slim” cereal for breakfast (at 180 calories a cup it’s not exactly ‘slim’, but boy it’s loaded in fiber). I don’t want to get my “three weeks to the 140s” plan off to a bad start, so I am going to have some good seafood but not get crazy. Plus I should get plenty of exercise walking & swimming.

Have a great weekend!
