Is it Friday Yet???
This has been a tough week for me.....a struggle to get out of bed in the morning to work out...But I worked out Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday so far this week...so I have still managed to only miss 1 workout....
Today I did workout 6..it wasn't too bad...I just need to get more sleep...I have always needed sleep and going to bed after 11:00 for whole week is not helping me...
Triathlon training is in full effect...did sprint swim training last night at the pool....that is really hard...I could swim laps for hours, but when you have to do sprints..that is difficult..but it will make me better!! Tomorrow is workout #5 and running 20 minutes....and Saturday is biking for 50 minutes and swimming 400-600 meters.
Whats on the Menu Today:
Breakfast - Oatmeal with blueberries/strawberries, and coffee
Lunch: .........
Snack: Greek Yogurt

Happy Hump day
Well it's Wednesday, and we are almost through this week.....decided to have yesterday off from working out, because this cough is really taking a toll on me....was gonna get up and work out this morning, but the crying baby from upstairs decided to cry from 3am-4am (not sure why the parents didn't pick him up) and then my coughing kept me restless from 5am-7am....so I am going to go swimming after work! Very excited for that (I definitely get my love of swimming from my daddy!)
Also put together my calendar for my triathlon training..and it's gonna be hard...on top of doing my Jillian tapes, i'm going to have to incorporate on Tuesdays - swimming, and Fridays Running...I have substituted my cardio days with my training..so only twice a week will I be doing double workouts....But the next 7 weeks will be hard,......but so worth it...I LOVE TRIATHLONS!!
Whats on the Menu Today:
Breakfast- Steel Cut Oatmeal with Blueberries/Almond Milk, Coffee, and Banana
Lunch: Italian Style Wedding Soup and Half Sandwich
Snack: air popped popcorn

Tired Tuesday
Yep, it's a tired Tuesday today......was helping pack my prior nannying kids for camp last night....and that is tiring.....was there till after 10:00 and was up some of the night coughing... :( So this mornings workout will happen tonight.....But I did remember to weigh in, and I weighed in at 251..lost 1lb from last week....Waiting to reach that 10lb lost mark..hopefully next week! Workouts are getting harder, and I need to start adding my triathlon training in full force! Working on a training schedule now for the next 2 months. Anxious for my 1st triathlon of the season, even if it's 2 months away!
Been battling this couch for about a week and a half, i'm really hoping it goes away because it hurts and is annoying.....
Plus side for the next 2 weeks i'm not working at my part-time job, so I'm able to really focus on training and getting a good start on that!!!
Whats on the Menu Today:
Breakfast: steel cut oatmeal made with almond milk and blueberries, coffee and a banana
Lunch: Soup and 1/2 sandwich
Snack: greek yogurt
Dinner: Chicken Breast, green beans and salad (with tomato & avocado)

Happy Friday!!!
Happy Friday Everyone!!!!!
It's a beautiful day here in NYC...sun is shining and it's not too super Hot yet!! Been a crazy week for me...had my ups and downs....Been thinking alot about my Grandma McHenry since she has been in the hospital.....They think she has been having little strokes, and that scares me a ton! I definitely wished I lived closer so I could be by her side..I just hope she knows how special she is to me and how much I love her! I know she is a fighter and a strong woman, and I trust God to be her healer....Love you Grandma!!!
Today was the last day of this months workout...(except cardio tomorrow).....definitely a bittersweet moment...knowing the workouts get harder with the weeks is scary, but finding out my body can handle it is even better!!
Got my hair cut last night..not a HUGE difference, but a little shorter thinned it out, and added a wispy bang to the side...think i'll add some blonde highlights back in this weekend myself (who needs to pay 200$ for highlights at the salon anyways) I can do my own highlights for under 20$ (i think that will make my husband smile) :)
Tonight is this All White Birthday Party...and I was having a hard time figuring out how to accessorize...Good things I'm friends with the accessories assistant at my job, and she helped a girl out! We decided to go with a blue/green pop of color with the all white clothing......
