Let The Training Begin – WIAW

May 15, 2013

Happy WIAW.
Yesterday, all my eats were clean and it felt great to get back to normal.
High protein, Low Fat and LOTS of WATER.
And…a teeny bit of wine – 3oz to be exact.
Turkey, eggs, sweet potato, more eggs, almonds, brown rice and broccoli.
Not too interesting, but good for me.

Today was Day 1 or my new training plan.
I woke up at 6am and got to the running at 6:15.
Obviously, I must have forgotten how hot it was here and why I used to run at 5am.
WOW, it was HOT.
I ran my 1st 2 mile run and honestly, it was hard.

It was a reality check.
I will be starting over, running wise.
I’m not complaining though…
I’m actually excited.
Why?
I get to experience all those running milestones all over again.
My 1st 5k, 8k, 10k and half marathon…
Me and my new foot.
I know it will be hard but I have been waiting to run again for so long…

I’M READY! #IRUNTHISBODY

Like my fun photos on Today’s post?

I found 2 new apps yesterday.
My 1st collage is the app – Moldiv

The cool doodle pic is done with the app BeautifulMess <— I’m OBSESSED already

Spin and Sweat Workout

May 14, 2013

There is something about getting really sweaty, that feels cleansing to me.
This morning, I resumed my Tuesday morning spin routine.
If you wanna burn around 450 calories in 45 min – try this workout!

After the gym, I headed to PT.
I saw my Dr. and he gave me the approval to start officially training!
Yup, not just running, but training!
SO EXCITED
I’m all smiles today for sure.
So, what’s next?

Goal #1 – Run a 5k on May 31st (the 1 year anniversary of my injury)

Later today, I’ll be hitting up SmartCoach to plan for my longer goal.
I’ll share that with y’all later this week.
Enjoy your day peeps…I know I will!

What are your short term fitness goals?

Southwestern Corn Salsa – SRC

May 13, 2013

I spent my 14 hour travel day yesterday, watching all of the last season of Top Chef.
I forgot how much I loved that show.
The one thing they always say is “Keep it simple”.
I forget that sometimes when I’m looking for a new recipe.
This month, I kept it simple.
Please don’t confuse simple for boring though…

As I skimmed thru the recipe index of my Secret Recipe Cub assignment, OnTheMove-In The Galley, I kept that in mind.
I tried to create a recipe that was warm-temperature friendly.
All the sunshine outside means more picnics, beach days and time on the water.
All things I get to do year round – I know, I’m a lucky girl.
Sounds like my assignment for this month’s Secret Recipe Cub, also enjoys time on the water.

A perfect addition to your next BBQ or day on the boat.
A crunchy, flavorful and won’t-spoil-in-the-warm-temperatures side dish.
*I would have added avocado, but they aren’t in season yet in Trinidad.
