Calories! WOWWIEEE! Lol I love spaghetti squash as well makes for some wonderful low cal lunches for the week!
Loving the YMCA classes for some workout inspiration :) and variation! I did the body shaping class today and oh man the burn.... I should be nice and sore:)
I have decided I don't really think weight watchers is the plan for me but before I nail down that decision I think I'll try the simply filling plan first. Have y'all tried it or do u just do points plus?
10 k on Saturday was a killer hill route! Time was one hour 11mimutes :) 11:30 pace going to try to work on some speed. Wasn't last but I need to push myself outside my comfy box. I realized while I was running this race that I plain don't push myself. I know this by the talk test-I was singing on my race- i shouldn't be able to sing while racing! So that's my goal to push it. And speaking of pushing it I wire these zebra compression socks at the race and at that last hill (1/4 mile from finish but it was steep) this girl was standing there with a bullhorn saying "no no no girl with the cool socks you may not walk up this hill sprint it in!!! Go go go!!" It was just the encouragement I needed and I sprinted it in :) the spectators just don't know how great they are!
My race strategy is to now push myself, to be able to run to the point of sustainable discomfort, (can I hold this pace for another mile?). I realised after running the same 10 km 2 years in a row and only improving my time by 20 seconds that to get better times and better paces, I had to push myself. I did so in another 10 km 6 months later, and improved my time by almost a minute!
ReplyDeleteIts funny to me how you come to these realizations. Ive been trying to break out of a 12 minute mile- obviously not too hard at it tho. But practice makes perfect maaaybe i'll get to a 10 minute mile in the near future. I dont do well with pacing myself. I just run. I need to practice that I guess on the treadmill. Do you run on the treadmill?
