SATURDAY
I didn’t post yesterday Sorry to let you down!
Yesterday was very chill. Cali joined 24 hour fitness and gave them my name so I got 24 free days. Which is PERFECT because I have been trying to decide whether I need a membership or not for the school year/winter season. And now I can test it out! So I went to the gym and got my 24 free days and I can go to any of their classes for free as well. They have Zumba classes, which I have only heard of before, but I intend to try it out. They also have yoga classes, so I’m going to try some. Although, I just can’t imagine that doing yoga in a gym right next to the Smith Machine is going to be very peaceful. You know? I also just LOVE Cambio. (The yoga studio I go to) and the people there, and I don’t really ever want to leave them. So we’ll see how that works out.
I was able to knock out about 20 pages of Collpase before I got antsy from sitting too long. I am now getting into the collapse of the Myans, which may be the whole reason I bought the book. So it’s getting juicy. I’m just really bad at sitting, haha.
SUNDAY
I woke up at 5:30 this morning to make the big guy some breakfast before he left for work, and then my intention was to run, but I realized that I don’t have a running plan anymore. I don’t even know how far to go. My first half marathon is in 14 weeks and I can hardly run the 4 miles I did last week yet. So I had to sit down and re-make my plan. You guys haven’t seen one of these for a while, but here’s July’s Training Plan.
I had half a banana and some almond butter for a snack.
And then I realized I’d have to run in the heat! Dun dun DUNNNN!!! Bad planning, Allie Bear. So I grabbed a quick breakfast before church.
BEST EVER BANANA-BUTTER OATS
Ingredients:
1 cup vanilla almond milk
1/2 cup quick cooking whole wheat oats
1/4 cup flax meal
3 tablespoons almond butter
1/2 of a banana
1 packet fake sugar
Directions:
In a small pot, heat almond butter on medium-high. You don’t need to boil it, just heat it until it’s steaming.
Add the oats, sugar and flax meal. Stir 2 minutes until done. They won’t look very thick in the pot – don’t worry, they thicken as they cool.
Top with almond butter and slice the banana. ENJOY!
I didn’t get my run in today. Oh, shucks! I wanted to this morning and got wrapped up in figuring out my training plan. Then I wanted to after church but had errands to run and it was HOT. And then when I got home and got dressed to go, it rained! And now it’s dark. Really?? Really. Contemplating doing my LONG RUN on a TREADMILL at the GYM tonight. After all, I have 24 free days, and it’s open 24 hours….. Does that sound horrible, or what?! 4.5 miles of treadmill heaven. Haha. But it is kind of my only choice, and I need to stay on track because my training plan only has me being ready in time for my half marathon if I follow everything to the T. Deviating on the first day is not the best plan. My other option is to do it in the morning tomorrow. What ever will she do?? You’ll find out tomorrow, I guess.
I did get everything else done tonight. Made a dinner that was too hot for me, but just right for the boys- lots of jalepeño. Then I made chicken salad pita pockets for our lunches tomorrow. And I boiled eggs so I can make egg salad sandwiches tomorrow night for Tuesday’s lunches. And I prepared our snacks for tomorrow, too. Yeah, I’m good. Haha.
Time to read some more of Collapse. I’m on page 87, only about 400 more to go! I have considered giving up on this book, but giving up makes me sad. Especially giving up on books. They’re my friends!
Goodnight world! Don’t let the bed bugs bite
