I went out drinking saturday, an anomaly for me - 5 drinks at least. I have only done this kind of damage once since baby, mean in the past 2 years!  The worst part is the next day.  All I want to eat is crap, and get a headache with every substantial movement.  Forget working out.  I don’t understand how people do this every weekend (or more!) the hangover is your body telling you that you have done major damage!  Rejection!  And I even felt it on Monday, which was probably also the food hangover from eating $hit due to feeling like $hit on - what a vicious cycle.  I didn’t have the energy to make one clean meal.  Thus major setbacks starting off this week.  And motivation, where did that go ?? 

6:00 Water / coffee

6:45 1 Tbsp peanut butter natural w/ 1 tsp honey

Run 50 minutes, triceps work – dips 8×2, extension, skull crushers, kickbacks. 

9:40 ¾ cup oats with protein powder, 1 scoop, oat bran/flax/wheat germ mix 2 spoonfuls, 1 package blackberries, a few raisins and slivered almonds

Half chicken breast, some baby greens undressed, sweet potato pancake w/ baby sweet potato puree, handful walnuts and almonds.

Feeling really full from this meal.  Must have been too much sweet potato serving size.  My entire body aches and feeling headachy, though felt good this morning until now.  I’m going to try to stop the diet coke and see if it affects my cravings.

I small packet Tuna w/ half avocado and 1 plum tomato, some soy nuts and one small bite sized Hershey’s milk chocolate

Tilapia filet medium size, asparagus baked with sprinkled parmesan cheese, 4 small rice cake things

Headache persisted.  Feel better now (8pm)

Tomorrow need to do heavy legs in the morning. Walking lunges with barbell, smith squat, butt blaster, incline leg press

Does anyone read these anonymous blogs - I laugh at myself for posting but, I just want to be held accountable for my "diet," and want to write for my own purposes; track what I do and how I feel…because I’m cognizant of the correlation. 

So last time I wrote I was commencing running season…. ran 4 races total - the last two being 10 mi trail runs, which I have never tried, but ended up running faster than on the road. Possibly my strong legs were competitive advantage.  I ran 1:18 on hiking trails/dirt hills, and placed in both that I ran (EX2 Adventures - Backyard Burn).  Exciting news.

Now, as noted in my progress pictures I am growing frustrated with my bi’s - they will not grow.  I’ve varied exercises, and I don’t even feel a burn the next day anymore. Frustrating…

On the other hand, my lats look like I have wings!  Overnight they became beastly. When I hang from the pullup bar I’m a little freaked out by it in fact.  Thus - w/ lack of bi’s and big upper back, I am imbalanced.  I will post more pics tomorrow am.

I need to go eat "fake fried" chicken and raw red pepper lunch and pretend its good while everyone comments on the "weird stuff" I eat.

My original goal was to be lean and "toned" (visibly muscular) at 140 by Race Day (Annapolis 10 Mile Run - yesterday, 8/26/07).  I was 141 on Friday - but had a bad binge on Friday and did not weigh in again prior the race.  I did not set an aggressive goal for my pace-time this year since i wasnt able to run more than 4.5 mi prior to the first week of August.  Time is scarce with a little baby, and I went back to work full time in July (I try to cut down to 50 hrs a week now).  But more on "time" and schedules later…I just wanted to do at least 9 min miles, and I achieved that.  I ran reverse splits this year and had a much more enjoyable race than last - only 4 minutes off from my time last year!! Last year I went out really quick and was went through misery in miles 5 through 10 to end up 1:24.  This year, 1:28…..
