I'm baaack!

So. I've had a litte hiatus from blogging.  But know I didn't abandoned y'all by choice....My computer cord suddenly stopped working and I have been so busy that I wasn't able to get to the store until today to buy a new one.

Needless to say I had 144 e-mails, 56 facebook notifications, and lots of blogs to catch up on.  So while I play catch up, here are some pictures from my vacation to Punta Cana, DR for your viewing pleasure.









Full vacation recap coming to a blog near you (this one) soon....

Like a Boyscout, I'm Always Prepared

The remainder of the week is going to be busy, busy, busy!

It's rush week on campus, and as president of my sororities local alumnae chapter, I am obligated to be there to help out from about 5:00 PM until about 9:30 PM every evening for the rest of week, as well as Saturday morning from about 9:00 AM until about 3:00 PM. 

This is going to put a kink in my normal workout and eating schedule.  I can't afford to neglect excercise and eating clean...the Dominican is a week away!  In order to stay on track with my fitness and nutrition goals, I am making a plan of action.


Nutrition:

In order to avoid junk food at the sorority house, I am going to eat when I get home from work at 3:30 PM.  It will have to be something high in protein to hold me over and something quick and easy to prepare so I have time to get dressed...eggs, salad with tuna or sliced turkey.

Upon returning home late, I'll probably have a protein shake or yogurt to hold me over until morning.

I will also pack a few snacks in my purse in case hunger strikes.  Some nuts/trail mix, boiled eggs, snack/protein bars, string cheese.

Workouts:

Wednesday (usually Bleacher Club at 5:30 PM) - 5:30 AM CrossFit
Thursday (usually CrossFit at 4:30 PM) - 6:00 AM run
Friday - rest day or 5:30 AM CrossFit (depends on how exhausted I am by this point)
Saturday - 6:00 AM run
Sunday - evening run

Look at all the early mornings!  ***groan. Oh well, I'll sleep when I'm dead.






Being prepared and writing down a plan will help me stay on track.  If it's in writing, it is set in stone and there is no backing out!

Do you have any more snack/quick meal ideas for me?
Does writing down workout plans help you commit to them?

When Life Hands You Lemons, Go Run on a Bridge

Yesterday was a jam packed, busy, exhausting day! 

The half marathon I planned on running Nov. 19 was cancelled. :( I looked at the website yesterday and saw this: 
Thank you for your interest in the Seawall Half Marathon. Unfortunately, the event will not be held in 2011

So I looked up other half marathons nearby, consulted with Andrea, and we decided on the La Porte by the Bay Half Marathon on December 4, 2011. The good news, we have more time to train.  The not-so-good news, we will be running the Fred Hartman bridge over the Houston ship channel. We are going to need the extra training time!
