Jilian Michael's Ripped in 30- Week 1

Did another ripped in 30 on my 2nd snow day.  Heath was awake, and started to get a little fussy, so I had to sing some kid songs to distract/entertain him.  

Day 3 of the food change went well.  I felt terrible when I woke up (I think it was low blood sugar), but this morning I felt better.

Morning Run

Mysti's Workout - January 29, 2014

Distance: ?

Time: 30 minutes

I ran for 30 minutes around an indoor track. Who wants to count how many times you run in a circle - not me. The 10 degree weather is greeting to me and I have no motivation to run outside.

Joining the Rogers Activity Center was my solution to 2 challenges: 1) the freezing temps this winter 2) Samuel's separation anxiety.

Mon-Fri 8-11, I can drop Samuel off for up to 1.5 hours while I work out. Options - indoor track, 4 treadmills, 4 elliptical, 3 bikes and about 15 various strength machines. It's small but nice and at $80 per year for family of 6 with free childcare = great deal. There are also lots of classes offered for $5 per class or unlimited for 2 months at $45.

I sound like a saleswomen, but it's not in the budget to join World's Gym.

Jilian Michael's Ripped in 30: Week 1 video

Did a Jilian Michael's video since we were snowed in today.  I actually did the workout while Heath was awake.  He mostly just stared at me.  He was a little fussy at times, but I got through the whole thing without a meltdown.

In other health related news: I am on day 2 of no processed food.  So far I have also managed to do it Paleo.  I'm going to try to stick with the Whole 30 model.  So beyond no processed, I am also doing no dairy, no grains, no legumes (beans), no sugar of any kind (not even syrup or honey).  It's only been tough in between meals when I want a quick snack.  It would be so easy to grab some crackers, bread, etc.  But I've managed.  I think the key is going to be getting used to eating more at meals (especially to offset the carbs I am used to filling up on).

Yesterday I was giving Heath a snack and there was a little shortbread cookie in the mix.  I didn't want him to have that, so I put it in my mouth... as soon I stuck it in I remembered I wasn't supposed to eat it...so I had to spit it out!  Ha!

Michelle's run 1.26.14

14 minute run ans 7 minute walk. 

Went on a run by myself. The weather was actually decent. I ran up the hills, but felt awful after 14 minutes. I was disappointed at first, but realized it's better than nothing and the next run will be better.  It's going to be cold the rest of the week, so I'm not sure how much I'll run.

Mysti's Workout - January 25, 2014

Distance: 7 miles

Time: 115:50 minutes

Pace: 10:50 minute

I did not run yesterday as planned due to weather. 8 degrees outside with 7mph wind.

Today was a heat wave of 35 degrees, but crazy cold weather hits again Monday. :(

The sky was really pretty this morning and took a new scenic route which helped my not so ready to run attitude and by the end I could have kept going.

Freezing temps and I ate my weight in fondue last night - cheese and chocolate.
