Day 3

Today  I got up at 6am and took Molly for a run. We averaged a 12 min mile pace and I was pleased with that. It's nice to see 12 instead 13 or 14...I am improving and making my way down to 10! I plan to start running my last mile on Mondays as fast as I can to see if I can get a 10 min mile. My fastest to day is 10:24, so pretty confident I can accomplish that before the year is up. And then the 2014 goal will be to average that pace. 

I had light breakfast. Just greek yogurt and coffee. I got too busy for my protein shake and I was meeting Jenny for lunch so I skipped it. Lunch was great, I had half a ham panini, spring salad, and buttercake for dessert. Then we went and walked 3 miles. I wish every lunch could be like this. I went back to the office feeling refreshed and ready to get back to work. 

First thing, I took Molly for a nice long walk with the sun was still out. Dinner was egg whites with garlic and white cheddar cheese since I was carb-heavy for lunch. It's not a punishment, just re-adjusting my intake to support my goals for the day. I did some running around tonight, so yoga didn't happen, but planning a killer interval run for tomorrow. It's dropping down to 30 degrees so I had to get thicker running gloves. I HATE when my hands are cold!

Overall, I finally feel like ME again. I have energy to get through my day without wanting a nap or feeling like crap. I don't cringe when I look in the mirror because I know I'm doing what I'm supposed to. My muscles are sore and I know that's because I've worked them hard. My back, my glutes, my hammys, and my abs BURN.

I freaking love it!
