I logged 10 miles of cardio: a hike with my daughter, double stroller hill torture runs, single stroller runs and finally a solo run yesterday where I broke a personal record and felt really proud of everything I accomplished in the past week.
Here I am after my final Cardio Week Run, sporting my DanceFIT Studio gear, of course!
I participated in 10 Virtual Skype classes, including a new class where I got to be a Rockette for 45 minutes--it was amazing! Saturday was my rest day, and boy did I need it. My muscles were sore and I felt physically exhausted. It was a welcome day off. I spent the day with my daughter...we went to see Elmo Live and then to a BBQ at my brother's house. The weather was beautiful and it was just a great day. My husband was away all week so it was jut me and the kiddos. Surprisingly, I did OK...no major anxiety attacks and the babies behaved themselves (for the most part)...I feel like super mom!
As for water, I averaged about 75oz a day...I learned that when I wanted to snack, stop and sip some water first. The phantom hunger went away. What a concept! I will admit, there were a few nights that I realllly wanted a glass (or 3) of wine. I went out with my girlfriends on Thursday and used the 80/20 rule. I had a salad and some wine. I resisted the fries and dessert. It was a special treat.
My meals were FILLED with leafy greens. Almost every single meal I ate last week contained at least 2 cups of spinach, kale or both. I felt really healthy all week.
Here are a few pictures of my meals this week:
 |
| Salmon over quinoa and spinach with a side of broccoli |
 |
| BBQ Tofu/Kale/Quinoa Bowl |
 |
| Shrimp, asparagus, zucchini over spaghetti squash |
 |
| Last min meal:sauteed spinach, asparagus, pine nuts, spaghetti squash and chicken |
 |
| Lettuce wraps with roasted chicken and tomatoes for lunch |
Cardio Week might be over, but I have signed up for a training plan via Run Keeper so I am going to stick to my overall 6FIT goals that were set before I even started and get more cardio into my life. Now I just have to get over my fear of running by myself in the morning!
