So I had another double at work today and I thought I wasn't going to be able to work out again. However, I got off a lot earlier than usual but we are running up to Tennessee tonight so I was convincing myself that I didn't have time to work out. However, since I didn't work out yesterday, I really wanted to do SOMETHING today, so I just shut up and did it!! I just did an extremely high intensity (litte to no breaks) plyo!! It only takes about 30 minutes and I didn't time myself tonight but I bet I did it even faster than that and its a great work out! Burns a lot of calories! I'm quite proud of myself for stopping myself from making excuses and doing it anyway! Since we're going up to Tennessee I'm going to go ahead and post my work out/ food log for today even though I'm not done eating. I hate eating so much late at night (since I haven't had very many calories today and have to try and get some more) but when you're working all day, you just do the best you can. That is the goal and mind set you have to keep with eating right, working out, and having a life! You just do the best you can and everything will work out! :)

Overcoming obstacles
After working a double at work today, I realized this challenge is going to be harder than I had expected. I was at work all day today and didn't get a chance to work out at all. At first I felt really anxious about it but then I just realized that this is real life. I will not always be able to work out everyday and even though you should always try your hardest to make it happen, life gets in the way. I work another double tomorrow so again I won't be able to work out. All that I can do is stay on track with my eating and work out every chance that I get.
food: 1350
1/2 cup oats (160), banana (100), protein bar (180), stir fry over 1/4 cup brown rice and some blueberries with whipped cream (250), almond butter (100), scrambled eggs (145), 1 big chocolate chip pancake with sugar free syrup and whipped cream(355), 1/2 cup skim milk (40)

work out:
2 mile run (in the thunderstorm)
1 mile run on the elliptical (5 resistance to make up for not actually running outside)
5 minute finisher series #2 (double triceps ext., hammer curls, hulks)
15 minute ab ripper x
food: 1300
1/2 cup oatmeal and berries (160), banana (100), carrots, 2 1/3 cup natural kettle corn (150), 1/2 almond butter banana and honey sandwich (210), homemade burger on wheat bun with 4 homemade potato fries (not fried!) (350), 1 scoop whey with 1 cup skim milk and 2/3 banana milkshake (260), cocoa (35), strawberries (25)

Back at it!
Hey guys! So I know some of you were following my "freshman NEGATIVE fifteen" challenge from January-April. Well now, I'm back to the blog to record another of my crazy challenges! I've had other mini challenges since completing my first challenge until now, but with the vastness of this challenge and my sister, Paige, and work out partner extraordinaire being gone in Wyoming for 7 weeks, I decided to go back to the blog so she (and all of you) can keep me in check!
The basis of this challenge is to mix things up a little by going from "gym rat" to "cardio bunny" for seven weeks to see what the result will be! Basically the main difference is I will be focused primarily on running for the next seven weeks as opposed to lifting. I have split my seven weeks up into 2 week sections and the final week.Here are my goals (not including the other stuff that I will be doing along with the running):
Week 1: total of 20 miles
Week 2: total of 20 miles
Week 3: total of 25 miles
Week 4: total of 25 miles
Week 5: total of 30 miles
Week 6: total of 30 miles
Week 7: total of 33 miles (ending with a half marathon with Paige)
My diet is not as strict or intense as it was on my last few challenges because it is important to learn how to eat normally and still make healthy decisions. I still count calories and watch what I eat, but that doesn't mean I'm not going to treat myself every now and then!
I started yesterday so here is my log for yesterday and I will post later tonight about today.
