Cabbage soup diet has gone very well. Today is my final day - brown rice and veggies all day. As much as I want! I bet it won't be all that much. I mean, I like brown rice...but I am having a hard time getting excited about it this morning. Haha.
This time around, the cabbage soup plan has actually not been terrible. I have really really enjoyed the soup and I just keep reminding myself that it's only 1 week! I am actually thinking of doing 1 week of the soup, then taking 3 days off and starting another week with the soup. The only problem is my training program increasing...the first 4 days are hard with no real protein. It's a nice fall back plan, though, for when I get out of hand. Haha.
Speaking of training - yesterday I went to a "park" I have driven by many, many times to see if there was a trail I could run. Sure enough, I had 4 miles on the schedule and the sign showed a 2.4 mile path to the Monticello information center! I decided to walk 5 minutes, then run until I got there and run all the way back. I did exactly that, but either I was way faster than usual, or the mileage was off (I actually "mapped" the run when I got back on dailymile.com and it sure did say 2.4 miles each way!). Anyway, I logged 40 minutes of fitness yesterday for Shrinkvivor and covered more than my 4 miles for training purposes. Hooray!
Would you believe I have signed myself up for 2 5K's this weekend? I'm kind of excited, actually. I really, really want to get under 27 minutes and now i have TWO chances to do that! The first race is in a town called Zion Crossroads just a few miles down the road from my house. Saturday morning, 8 am...then I am having Zoe's birthday party at 11 am that day. Whoo. Luckily, I have only invited family, so they will be okay if I pass out in the middle. Hahaha. Then, Sunday, I was feeling all left out reading about the Nashville zombie run, so I signed up to do the Charlottesville zombie race! It is being filmed and then made into a short film which will be screened on Monday night! Super fun. I really want to do a costume for both - okay to be the same one - but I have ZERO money and no real fun clothes to mess with. Plus, I still need it to be comfortable for running. Hmmm. Any ideas? Too bad I can't fit back into my prom dress yet (MAJOR goal), because that would be hilarious. Prom Queen costume! I don't have any fancy dresses...according to weather.com it's going to be chilly for both races. I was thinking of wearing my black running skirt, bright orange tank top, and some black and orange striped knee-socks. If all else fails, I guess Halloween colors are better than nothing!
I have written up a schedule for me and the littles to follow today. Lots of outdoor play, scheduled snacks, midday storytime before lunch, QUIET time after lunch...I really hope we have a great day together. Shaun left for work (yay!) and took the car today, so it's just me and them. With no escape. Hahahaha.
Have a great day!
xoxo
