Here's a quick recap of my workouts this week. It sure feels good to be getting back to a routine after the past couple of weeks!
Monday:
The only workout I did was 2 hours of shoveling 17 inches of heavy snow. That was enough for this chica.
Tuesday:
I ran 3.1 miles on the treadmill. My knee was fine, but started feeling a little tight about 2.75 miles in.
Wednesday:
I hit up the pool for a 1 mile swim while I was still in Bismarck. It felt good to get back in, since it had been about 2 weeks since my last swim. I started Jillian's 30-day shred over again with day 1 today.
Thursday:
After completing day 2 of Jillian's 30-Day shred, I popped in a trainer dvd and went away on the bike for approximately 50 minutes. Afterwards, I did a about 25 minutes of pilates and threw out a few cuss words while getting to know the foam roller.... youch. Reminder... check back early next week for a product review!
Today:
I woke this morning at 445am, trying to get back into an early morning routine. I was suprsed to feel rested and ready for a good workout. I did Day 3 of the shred, had a bowl of cheerios and 1/2 a banana and then hit up the gym. I ran 2.5 miles (with sprints at 7.5mph) and then jumped in the pool for 1000M. I used to do this a lot in the evenings last school year, but it got to be so late since the pool was only open for lap swim in the evening from 8-10pm. This workout felt great overall but I was pretty worn-out when I finished the swim. The knee felt good through the entire run. I am hoping that my newly found friendship with the foam roaller is going to make a difference!
I have done pretty well with eating better and cutting back on the high calorie coffees for the past few days. I truly do love my Dunkin' Donuts coffee with splenda and sugar free creamer, so this transition won't be too big of a deal for me. I have been able to get about 8-8.5 hours of sleep each night. I am sure this has a lot to do with not working at all this past week and no schedule. I hope to be able to continue this once school starts back up again next week.
Well, I am signing off for the weekend. I will be spending the weekend in the cities with my sisters and mom. We've got big plans for this evening... Britney Spears babay!!!! I know you all are soo jealous! This is part of my youngest sisters Christmas gift! I am so pumped! It's been so long since I have been to a concert!
If you could go to any concert, which one would you choose? Another one that I would really like to go is Coldplay!

Britney was here last night and a ton of people took yesterday and today off work - yesterday to prepare for the concert and today to recover, LOL! Have fun!!!
Have a great weekend chica! Make sure you lip synch along with Britney ;-) (I really do like her :-)
Funny about your love of the foam roller. :) Strangely, after reading your FB update on it, the trainer I see periodically, had me roll my quads and ITband yesterday. Oh that sucked! You don't think you're tight until you start rolling and then OUCH!
Have fun at the concert!
whatever! it's a Christmas gift to yourself also!
So jealous; I hope you will have pics!
I am sure you are going to have a blast at the concert. Can't wait to read all about it. Way to get back into a routine.
Have fun this weekend!

Have a blast this weekend and enjoy the concert! (Actually, I AM jealous!)

You'll learn to love the foam roller.
So what did you think of Britney? Too funny that you were going to the show as well. It was definitely a good show, even if it was lip synced!! My sister has a girl crush on her now...:) I was there in a suite too, so free beer etc helps! But I did have a fun time.
Enjoy the show. Can't wait for the review.
I heart the foam roller.
Which concert? You know, I have never been so I have no idea who I would want to see...So many!
Have fun!
