A Speedy Workout and Death of my Cookie Butter

Today started off with a quick 2 mile run at a little under an 8:20 pace followed by breakfast and then a speedy 35 minutes of leg weight training. I had to cut it short since I had a History lecture to go to, but I was able to get a pretty decent workout in. Usually I do full-body weight lifting sessions 3 or 4 times a week, so it felt weird concentrating solely on my lower body! A rough detailing of what I did:

  • 3×20 walking lunges with a 60lb dumbbell
  • 3×10 squat with overhead press with 55lbs dumbbell
  • 3×20 calf raises with 115 lbs (holy burn!)
  • 3×20 jump lunges
  • 3×10 deadlifts with 80 lbs dumbbell

I’ve been having trouble getting out of the door quickly enough in the morning to get some longer mileage, so I’m going to try to be better about that in the future! I feel bad for everyone who sees me on a regular basis since I basically live in workout clothes. It’s a big deal when I make the extra effort to put on some real clothing and actually have my hair down!

Class was filled with tons of notes (plus a little side of blog reading).

Thou shalt be missed.

Thou shalt be missed.

What type of workout do you do when you’re in a rush?

WIAW #1

I thought participating in my first What I Ate Wednesday would be the perfect way to celebrate my first week of blogging. Like most bloggers, this is really what I ate on Tuesday ;).

Breakfast: Oatmeal with a sprinkle of brown sugar, honey, and raisins. A banana on the side and plenty of coffee! Along with half a sticky bun (couldn’t resist!).

Ooooeeeyyy-goooeeeyyy goodness!

Lunch: Lots of yummies made an appearance at lunch. Chicken pot pie, buttered beets, green beans, and some raw veg made up the main course.

Dinner: A gyro sandwich on pita with fresh lettuce, cucumers, tomatoes, and beef slices. A huge dollop of tzatziki sauce on top and some tahini on the side.

Another salad. Loving me some carrots at the moment!

Dessert: One of my favorite times of the day is at night when Kyle and I have our usual coffee and chocolate date. With all the See’s Candy that my parents gave us, I don’t think we need to worry about running out anytime soon!
