To whittle or not to whittle?
Hello hello!
I had another awesome day of relaxing, cleaning, and working out.
I actually had another training day and I ran three miles!

Whittle My Middle
When I got home I wondered..to whittle or not to whittle?
Of course the plan is five days a week but I was sore and could definitely feel the work I had done yesterday.
I talked to Angela and settled on doing the workouts but being careful to listen to my body and if I felt outright PAIN to not push it!
I was able to get a decent whittle time in..(;
Front Plank- 60 seconds
Side plank- 30 seconds each side
Torso Twists- 50 Reps
Plank ups(w/out leg ups): 10 reps
Boat Pose: 3 sets of 10
Bicycle- 2 sets of 30
Boy did I whittle my middle today and it felt good! Until tonight, now I just feel sore. 
______________________________________________________________
To refuel I chose breakfast!
Two egg whites, two(plus one) piece of turkey bacon, and a small glass of fat-free milk with a couple teaspoons of lite chocolate syrup.
YUM! Perfect refuel.
Tonight our Wednesday night group reunited for the first time since the holidays!
It felt like forever since I had seen them, so a reunion was wonderful.
I always look forward to the meal’s Joyce provides for us.
Tonight, she ordered in.
Olive garden!! YUM!
My plate:
I had this plus another scoop of salad, another meat ball, and half another breadstick.
I wasn’t even full, I could have eaten a whole ‘nother plate. Mmmm!
I also had a shortbread cookie and scoop of coffee ice cream for dessert but my camera wasn’t around me to grab(we were sitting as they were passed out).
Great meal!
Now I am off to drink some tea, read a bit and then head to bed! I am thinking of doing yoga in the morning but considering how sore my body feels now, I may just give my body a rest for the next couple days since this will be the longest weekly mileage I have run, well, probably ever. What do you think?
I think I should just see how I feel tomorrow!
Have a great night!

Gotta love Skype
Seriousy, I really love Skype! I got to talk to my great friend Lindsay who is in Italy right now doing ministry. Since I have a lot of friends in Italy, and around the country Skype is just a huge blessing.
Anyways..
It’s 6 hours ahead in Italy so I got up around 8 and ate a quick breakfast.
Warm cinnamon Kashi H2H with bananas and fat-free milk, mmmm! I love this new flavor of H2H!
After we talked for about an hour I watched some Regis and Kelly and found by 10 I was starving again.
I had a piece of whole wheat toast and a little smart balance(I swear, it was a smaller amount then it looks!).
I also had a handful of strawberries.
My stomach was satisfied. Yay!
I took Leo for a walk and realized as much as I LOVE this weather(it felt mid-20′s when I walked him and no, I am not joking) it was WAY to cold for me to run. I’m still a Florida girl after all.
I waited and noon came around so I made lunch since I was hungry and knew my 3-mile run would take 30-45 minutes.
I decided on a delicious sammie for lunch.
In between two toasted slices of whole-wheat bread I had a handful of spinach, a few slices of thinly sliced turkey, hummus, a little balsamic and blue cheese crumbles.
Along with a nectarine. Mmmm I love nectarines! This sammie was super good, I just wish I had more balsamic, I love the sing it adds along with the blue cheese!
I am now off to bundle up and prepare for my three miler today! I was going to do four, but I want to slowly increase my mileage to train smart. Last week I only had about six miles since I didn’t get my 4 miler in. I may postpone my 5-miler Saturday and just run 4 again. Since I am unable to run straight through the four miles anyway, and my body felt fine I think that will be okay. Just making sure to listen to my body and stay injury free!
I also will whittle my middle when I get back!
I will see you all later tonight, my small group is back together again and I can’t wait for some of Joyce’s yummy food!
