Ugh! This week's workouts were....nonexistent. Yes, that's right. I literally only did 2 miles on...Monday? Then it was shark week (grossss) so I didn't work out at all and my boyfriend ended up coming to visit me for the weekend so I didn't work out at all.

Other than feeling like a serious heffer now that I munched up super bowl goodies and some cookies I made (I hear ya!) it's time to whip my bum back into shape and get it back in the gym. I was showing my boyfriend, A, "The Body Shop," which is the gym on campus, and I saw a new challenge!!

That's right. 178 miles by 3/2/12. I currently have....18.98 mi. 178 might be a little extreme since that means I have to run like...6 miles PER DAY and yeah, you got that right, there's no way that's happening. I already know some of those days will dedicated bodyrock days that I won't run on. I think I can do it though if I add in some biking! Alright, challenge accepted: 178 miles by 3/12/12. Oh boy! Anyway, I feel like I haven't slept in 5 days. Time for a shower and some Zzzzzzzz! I can't wait for my run tomorrow!

I love pinterest. It has so many good inspirational photos, posters, and things. Like this one!

I definitely choose the "feel sore tomorrow" option. Oh yeah!

2 miles + an old ab workout from gymnastics :) Feelin' the burn!

2 miles + Bodyrock

A real quick 2 miles and a bodyrock workout for today. I chose the "Six Pack Abs and Love Handles Workout." I'll probably feel it tomorrow but for right now I'm nicely stretched and showered. 

And dinner for me:

I know I know, the cake with strawberry glaze is a bit much but I only ate half! And it was angel food cake. The entree is salmon with tomatoes, onions, and spinach. Two things of veggies on the side. Yum! I really want a smooooooothie!

Bodyrock

Tonight my workout was one of my favorites. Remember how I mentioned bodyrock.tv in one my previous posts? Well, I did the "Hot Curves Exercise Challenge" with my apartment-mate S as my workout today. I totally forgot to count my reps though :( I tried to post the video here but...it couldn't find it on youtube (even though I had the link). If you're interested it's here. It's super intense and only 10 minutes. Who doesn't have time for a 10 minute awesome workout?


Annnnd I found my next car on pinterest today. Totally kidding I'll never be able to afford this.

Getting it doooone! AND I actually spent more time stretching afterwards (my hip flexors are killing me). Simply workout planned for tomorrow.

SNACKS

I love eating. Really. So when I found out...

...I was ecstatic! Two of my favorites!

Notes on Portions

This is fantastic! So helpful! 

Wahooo new headphones! And...dinner for tonight...

Turkey, lettuce, and tomato on wheat wrap, fried rice (I knowww), and veggies. I really have to work on portions.

I also did a 55 minute hatha yoga class today. After last workout my hips need stretched and I'm sort of sore (which I love because I'm a weirdo) so I did a 55 minute Hatha Yoga Flow class I found online to help stretch me out. Yay for actively trying to incorporate yoga into my workouts! Incorporating a ton of different styles of workout and stuff will definitely keep me on my toes AND motivated. I see pictures of yoga poses and I'm just like...ahhh I want to do that so bad! Have you seen the yoga arm lifts? So incredible! One day.

AND I get to tutor someone today! Wahoo for money

P90X: Ab Ripper X

Mmmmm, pita and hummus. Loooove <3

Also...loving the workout I did today! Ab Ripper X from the P90X series + 2 mile run. It's a good start for this week!

Ab Ripper X Combination:
25 In & Outs

25 Scissors
25 Hip raises
25 Pulse ups

I'm pretty sure I was just laying on the floor after this just breathing with the burn. Felt aweeeeesome!!


Goal for tomorrow: DRINK MORE WATER. I know people say 8 cups of water is the best for the body (and I'm not sure if I believe this) but I KNOW I am not drinking enough water.
