To see where I can improve so that this journey continues on the right path, I am going to start doing weekly reviews of my eating and exercising habits.  Feel free to weigh in – Constructively.   Please remember that something that works for me might not work for you, and everyone’s journey is different.

I think what this tells me is, I need to not use so many of my Weekly Points.  I think that was my downfall.  I also didn’t do any strength training this week.  I know that’s a no no, but with my shoulder acting  up I didn’t want to forgo workouts, so I just ran.  I figured it would be more beneficial for my sanity to sweat as much as possible.  Plus I have a 10 miler in like 2 weeks, and then a half marathon 2 weeks after that.   I need to keep my legs primed.

This week we are going to meal plan insanely.  We are going to pick dinners we haven’t ever made and cook together in the kitchen.

I plan on doing the following workouts:

• Friday 2/15 – 8 mile run 
• Saturday 2/16 – Rest
• Sunday 2/17 – 3 miles & Upper Body
• Monday 2/18 – 3 miles & Core
• Tuesday 2/19 – 3 miles & Back and Shoulders
• Wednesday 2/20 – 3 miles & Lower Body
• Thursday 2/21 – Rest / Surgery Day

I’m also going to switch up my lunches, because while I have the veggie intake down, I need more protein so I am not falling asleep at like 3pm.
