SWEAT!

Can't stop singing "Whisper to a Scream" in my head. Love that song.

sledding with the kids. racing them up the hills carrying sleds/tubes:)

JW total body workout. 40 minutes

It was so nice to get out this morning. Sun was rising and the weather was nice. Unfortunately my left foot just won't quit hurting! #*!@!!! I wanna cry. I'm depressed because I was in such great shape last year at this time:( Now I'm 10 lbs heavier and injured and here comes Spring. I'm getting strict with my eating, starting today! No exceptions. I can do this! I know I can.

Power Yoga-52 minutes

BK Power Yoga-52 minutes

No better motivation to lose weight than trying to hold side plank (straight arm, straight legs) 8 lbs heavier than last yr. I'm on my way down. I'm on my way back. I even put my marathon necklace back on today:) I'm back baby and I'm going all the way this time! I'm on my second day of eating clean and I'm just doing yoga every day. I want to let my foot heel and when I start running again it'll be in a different pair of shoes. Hopefully the combination of new shoes, less weight and rest will put me back in the running saddle again.

Did all but the single leg weight bearing exercises. Did kickboxing instead there. Can still feel it in my left foot. This will be the first week with absolutely no running:( Torturous.

JW 40 min total body workout. circuit training with weights.

BK Power Yoga-53 minutes

I'm so much less flexible in the morning.

3rd day in a row of clean eating. I'm determined to make it through this weekend! Weekend's always kill me but...no more!!!

Now if you are going to win any battle you have to do one thing. You have to make the mind run the body. Never let the body tell the mind what to do. The body will always give up. It is always tired in the morning, noon, and night. But the body is never tired if the mind is not tired.
-George S. Patton

6:30am JW total body workout (circuit training with weights)-40 minutes

Bryan Kest Power Yoga-52 minutes during nap time.

Will try spinning at the rec center tomorrow morning. i'm scared. I've done it once and hated it.

5th day in a row of clean eating. Must make it through the weekend. I know I can, I know I can...Even celebrating my Dad's 75th b-day tonight at my house with all the adults in my family. I have to be strict now and will reintroduce dessert once a week when I reach my goal. And when I start running again:)

I know I can...

SPIN! for an hour at the rec center. SO freak'in tough! I did it once a few years ago and never went back. Today was good. I forgot it was St. Patrick's Day and didn't wear green but I just painted my left hand nails green so I'm safe now. Anyway, the music was St. Patty's day themed so we rode to Enya, U2 and Riverdance! It was fun!  when we finished spinning the teacher asked how I liked it and I said "I thought running was hard!" The other spinners complimented my by telling me I didn't act like a beginner and I must be an athlete:) Said most beginners don't stand up on their first day. I just did everything the teacher did and my heart rate soared. I'm already sore and will be tomorrow for sure. My cardio has suffered since I stopped running. I should have started spinning sooner.

HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY!

SPIN! 6am at the rec center. The teacher today was the "student" (for lack of better word)  who paid me a compliment on Sat. I didn't know she taught spinning. She's a cute, little lady and I don't know how she gets her legs to spin that fast. amazing! The workout was awesome. I didn't realize there were so many different and fun ways to get a great workout (intervals) on a bike. I'm loving this spin class! I also didn't realize my upper body would be sore after spinning Sat. core too. You work everything.

I signed up for a sprint triathlon. I've never done a tri. I don't know what I'm thinking. And it's in 2 weeks. SHAC tri in St. George. I was drawn because my best friend is coming from Vegas to do it and because I'm still trying to rest my left foot so I'm planning on spinning and swimming till the race. My foot feels (almost) fine I'm just being extra careful. Fun to do something different for a change. Now I have a goal and I'm not so depressed about not running lately.Woo!

JW Upper body and ab workout at home-30 minutes

6am swim at Lifecentre. Nice fresh snow for the first day of  SPRING! I was the only one in the pool for the first few minutes. I've never been to this pool, just outside swimming at Alta Canyon the last two summers. 

45 minute swim. 4X400 yards. (400 yards=16 lengths, 8 laps and I'm assuming this pool is a 25 yard pool) Front crawl and breaststroke. 400 yards once should be fine. I just have to try racing it sometime before the race.

Awesome! Love swimming!

Oh, on the drive home the sun was rising and the moon was so beautiful right over the mountains. Just a clipped thumbnail sliver of a moon.

6am SPIN-55 minutes

2pm JW total body workout with weights-40 minutes

SWIM 4x400 yards. Took about 45 minutes. I saw a shooting star (west) while driving down to the lifecentre at 6:25am. 

Was going to do yoga this afternoon but too many kids needed too many things.

JM Banish Fat/Boost Metabolism-50 minutes. I seriously can barely catch my breath at some points in this workout. You definitely get out as much as you put in. Love those burpies, mountain climbers and plank walk-ups! Not to mentions high knees and jump squats. I was able to do the single leg weight bearing exercises without left foot pain today too!

After my workout I looked outside as the sun was rising. It was beautiful! White mountains, bright blue sky and pink clouds slowly moving by. I'll be back out there soon!!!

10am (1 hr)Power Pump class at rec center. Yes! 10am because middle schoolers are out of school today so I have babysitters!

My foot felt fine after running up flat iron hill while carrying Josie to soccer game Sat. so I tried running today. 3 miles on the TM and it feels like a slight bruise but isn't painful. Feels SOOOO good to run! There's NOTHING like it!

I ran 5.5, 5.8 and 6.0. took about 32 minutes I think.

3 miles in 30 minutes outside. No music, no garmin. I wanted to take it easy and listen to my foot. Just feels like a bruise now. It was cold but I dressed just right and it was BEAUTIFUL! The birds were singing away. So good to be OUTSIDE RUNNING again! My butt and hammies are sore from that weights class yesterday.

BK Power Yoga-52 minutes (54 if I fall asleep in corpse pose, which I did last time:)

SPIN for an hour. 

44:22 AP 9:52

It was cold but beautiful. Not a cloud in the sky as the sun rose, and the birds sang. It's great to be outside! My foot felt good.

I almost got hit crossing the intersection on the way home. It was my fault but, they did change the way those lights turn at that intersection and it threw me off. I was almost hit by speeding cars coming up a hill. They honked at me. The light had just turned red for cars going north and I thought I had missed my chance for a green walker as I pushed the button. I didn't see any cars and thought it was safe. Didn't realized it was still green for cars heading south. I just got through telling my 14 yr old yesterday to always be careful as a pedestrian because cars don't always see you. I had just read the article about the teen who was hit and killed walking his bike through a crosswalk.  I will be more careful. Scary.

48:15 AP 9:39

I slept in so I thought I'd only run 4. I set out to run around both parks and as I was running down to Falcon, I heard Betsy yelling at me. She had run 10 and wanted to run a few more with me (she's training for Wasatch 100). I ran back up the hill and we ran her dog home. I don't mind running alone but it's nice to have company and she did push me. I thought I would run slow cause my foot was a little stiff at first but it loosened up and felt fine after a while. I was happy to see that AP for all the hills we ran. We did end up running both parks. Beautiful morning!

I did not do yoga yesterday. I'm planning on it today and will add when it's done.

SOOOOOO excited for spring break!!!

Power YOGA! 52 minutes

And I really needed to read this article last night. My friend from provo wrote it.

SPIN at 7:45am for 1 hour

Took Cami to soccer game and ran 4 miles around flat iron while she got pics and warmed up and more at half time.

CRAZY WINDY TODAY!

Crap. I might have to run another half mile to make it 20 for the week.
