So I am WAY proud of myself - I have gotten up at 4am every day this week before work and gotten a workout in! Go me! Its taken some adjustment, but I'm really enjoying getting my runs in before work - I like feeling like I've accomplished something already before I go in. Plus - if I have a rough day at work and just wanna be lazy after, I can! I am going to keep this up for sure - however once my runs get longer I'll have to figure something else out instead, since I don't wanna be getting up at 2am just to go running (but I just might be that crazy if it means I can get the run in for sure!)
I heard a great quote today and I just had to post it here too! Its on my Sparkpage as well, but its just fabulous (especially when referring to runners!)
Obsessed is the word the lazy use to describe the dedicated!
Totally fitting right???
Anyways, nutrition has been good. Went over yesterday since the hubby wanted to go out to eat with a friend of ours, but it balanced out to be under maintenance with the workout I got in last night. Since I'm only burning 200-300 cals a workout each morning, I've been keeping calories around 1600 a day to help balance the deficit. When my workouts start burning 500-600 cals a workout, then I'll bump it back up to maintenance.
I've decided to scrap my "photo food blog" for now - it just became too much of a hassle to photograph everything and upload it daily. I'm still tracking my food every day online to make sure I'm hitting cals, but that's about it. I'd rather be obsessive about my workouts - not my nutrition trackers or any other number.
