So begins week 1 of my training for the Rock n Roll Half marathon in October. I'm planning on training Tuesday, Thursday and Sat or Sunday, depending on how my weekend schedule goes. So stay tuned for updates on my progress. I will have a bit of a lull the third week of July since I will be getting my wisdom teeth pulled but hopefully that only sets me back about a week or so.

This weekend was all bad for eating! But what's new. Saturday morning I went jogging with Shelly and made a pit stop at Starbucks. I ate a scone with my coffee=( But hey! At least I got out and did SOMETHING.

Today at CrossFit, I wasn't able to do the prescribed workout because my shoulder is still sore from Wednesday's push jerks BLEH. So I just did 400m runs, back extensions and pull ups.

OK time to start work.

Golly gee willickers!! I'm freaking SORE from yesterday!!! AHHH My shoulders, traps, triceps and NECK feel so stiff! AHH

We ended up going to Krung Thai last night MMM sooo good!! I managed to control myself somewhat but I still left pretty full!

I put together a training plan for myself for the half in October. It doesn't seem entirely bad, its only running 3 days a week with speedwork, tempo runs and a long run. Hopefully I can stick to it as much as possible so I can finish STRONG!! I'd like to finish the half in about 2 hours or so so we'll SEE.

I weighed myself this morning and those two nasty pounds are gone!! I guess I just had to 'let it go' LOL! Anywho..... I ran on the treadmill last night like at 1030pm because I was feeling fats. I only did 3 miles - it was so stuffy in the garage!! I couldn't breathe! I guess that counteracts the Popeyes Chicken & Biscuits I had for dinner LOL!

Today Judd gave me a date to weigh in and check my body fat. IM NERVOUS! I really haven't lost any weight since like... APRIL! LOL!! So I guess I need things in the bud for a bit for the weigh in *sigh*

We started with a 500m row today and did our stretches. The workout was 5 rounds of 9 push jerks and 9 box jumps. I finally did the prescribed weight for women of 85lbs!! AHHH I had to break up the each set of 9 but I'm glad I finally pushed myself with the weight. I know I'm going to feel it later on!!

600am Fiber One cereal with blueberries and nonfat milk

900am 1 egg white

1000am i graham cracker with peanut butter

1130am went to VF to exchange my sunglasses at LensCrafters so I OF COURSE went to California Crisp and got my favorite asian chicken salad! Mmmm sooo GOOD!

I think we're going out to dinner tonight with Pepe's family... I vote for Krung Thai! HOLLA BACK!

Ugh! I'm FAT! I gained two lbs over the weekend=( I had the balls to weigh myself this morning thinking it wouldn't be that bad... *sigh* oh well!! I'm totally sore from yesterday's workout. That was my first cardio based workout at CrossFit since I've been sick. My chest and my arms are totally sore from the push ups! AHH

What a week! So since I last posted, I did Muddy Buddy with Steph, got REALLY sick, then did the Mermaid Duathlon with Steph this past weekend!! After Muddy Buddy last Sunday I was a mess! I literally could not get out of bed and was drugged up with just about everything - amoxicillan, vicodine, allergy medicine, cold medicine and bcps! LOL wow I had to stay home Monday and Tuesday from work and ended up coming in like a dumbass Wednesday to just sit and stare at the computer!!

Thursday I was feeling somewhat better and made it to CrossFit Friday morning. We did CrossFit totals for shoulder press, back squat and deadlift. I set a new PR for shoulder press at 75lbs!! I'm right behind Michaela at 80lbs which is kinda scary but YA!!!! The back squat was difficult cause they want you to go so low that your ass is below your knees. I maxed at 125lbs. I couldn't even do the deadlift so we used my past max at 165lbs.

Saturday was the Mermaid Duathlon...... I felt so ill prepared since I didn't even do any kinda cardio since Muddy Buddy!! I didn't finish in my project 90 minutes, but whatevs! I FINISHED!! I didn't bitch out and walk either so I'm satisfied.

My weekend consisted of nonstop pigging out for Father's Day. On Saturday we went to Claim Jumper with Jaye and Junior for Pepe and got appetizers, our meals AND dessert mmmm! Sunday morning we went to Mayflower for dim sum and to Armadillo Willy's for dinner. I ate all my ribs and the other half of my mom's! HAHAHAHAHA What can I say?! I LOVE RIBS!!

PIGGING OUT. That's exactly where I've been LOL Luckily I haven't gained any weight!! But I seriously need to control myself. I've been busy with work so my posting habits have dwindled... anywho... I wanted to post a pic from CrossFit yesterday. We did KELLY:
