1. 15 Spend Free Days: Another spend free day under my belt! I don't think Joe even purchased anything for me, lol. On the downside, I paid the bills because it was payday and that always stresses me out. I hate seeing my paycheck go in & then back out so quickly. I even emailed Mike at the restaurant to remind him I'm available if he ever needs a shift or private party covered. 3 days total.
Breakfast: smoothie = 199 calories
Lunch: peanut butter & jelly sandwich, mini babybel & apple = 395 calories
Dinner: eggplant lasagna = 395 calories
Snacks: mini wheats & an oatmeal cookie blueberry ice cream sandwich = 222 calories
Totals: 2387 burned - 1211 eaten = -1176 total burned, 3 days total.
Joe started prepping the ingredients for Kat's eggplant lasagna before I got home and it was super easy to throw together! It was fun hanging out in the kitchen discussing what worked better in which layer. The recipe only called for a few ingredients; eggplant, tomato, no cook lasagna noodles, mozzarella cheese & sauce. We improvised and added some ricotta because I LOVE ricotta, seriously I would eat it with a spoon if that was acceptable. The instructions were to cook on 350 for an hour and a half so we decided to go for a run while it cooked.
3. Complete 1250 fitness minutes: Oh yeah! That's right! I worked out on Thursday! I was feeling 100x better and had barely scratched an itch all day so what did I do? 4.5 mile run, nothing like jumping full throttle back into training! It was a great run! The weather was absolutely beautiful, blue sky, a few clouds & super low humidity. I had a few minor aches but nothing bad enough to stop. I probably could have kept going but dinner was almost ready and I was starving. 50 minutes total.
I was also super excited to see that my new toy had been delivered! P90X! It's been on my wish list for a long time but at $140 I just couldn't pull the trigger. Well Brittany has started doing it & is raving about it, when I asked where she got it she said ebay. Never one to miss a great deal, I checked around a bit and found a copy for $70 and decided to give it a shot. I asked Joe if he wants to join me in this torture and he wasn't overly enthused so I may be on my own. Really I'm not even sure when I'm going to find time to do it. It's supposed to be a 90 day straight workout regimen but I have a 5 mile race this month & a 10K in October so I'm going to have to train for those plus my normal classes...I guess it will be more of a sporadic routine...maybe I'll bring it to Utah and convince Shana to do a few with me.
4. Walk at least 11,000 steps for 25 days: Our run knocked out all but about 1000 of my steps so I didn't have to beg anyone to wander the streets with me. The weather was so nice that Joe immediately headed outside to do some gardening after dinner. I am far from a green thumb but wanted to enjoy the fresh air so I brought the laptop out and did my daily facebooking & blog reading out back for a little bit until the bugs started biting and I was forced back inside.
11166 steps. 3 days total. I'm also happy to report that my sleep efficiency increased almost 10%! My guess is because I'm getting less itchy by the moment so I can sleep more soundly.
5. At least 20 days with 30 minutes of house work: Yeah I didn't clean. Whenever Joe's off he does a lot of straightening up so it doesn't leave much for me. I'm sure I could have figured out some little project but I was too busy just enjoying my day. 2 days total.
