Just a week off ~ Jully

Last week seemed like everyday was an exception.
Weekends include big family meals, curious friends who like to try new delicious places, and more friends with incredible cooking skills.
Each Monday is a chance to get back on track, then Monday comes and goes. Tuesday, I try again. Tuesday becomes Wednesday and you know the rest. Before you know it, it's the weekend again.

So here's the lesson... there ARE no exceptions! There ARE no days off...

The good news, I didn't gain any weight this week.

I didn't attend running class on Tuesday due to the rain, but the Salsa class on Wednesday was still on. Dancing is absolutely fun and it's a crazy work out!
Thursday was the Pilates class. It was so good to see Shannon, she is one of those people that just bring a smile to your face. Our sessions are always very informative and therapeutic. At our usual weigh-in, I was at 182lbs (-1 from last time).

On Friday, I went to Pio Pio in Murray Hill with my friends. I did NOT have a single french fry nor a fried Yucca. Here's the bad part, I honestly had $1.00 ready in my hand for about 10 minutes to give to the couple sitting next to us for 1 french fry and yucca fry. I know this sounds psychotic, but I REALLY wanted it! But... I didn't do it. At some point in my train of thought, I realized how embarrassing that would be, did I really need it THAT bad? It was hard, but I didn't have the fry.

I had great session with Virginia on Saturday. She prepped me for my 3 mile run later that day. My legs were burrrning!

And today, I had a long run (1:10) under the gorgeous sun. I feel really good.

Anyways, if you're keeping track of your meals, I highly recommend My Fitness Pal. It helps me keep track of my work outs too. By logging everything, you'll notice things. For example, I noticed that I sometimes don't even eat enough. Who would have guessed THAT?
