Our first 10K

Well it's been a good last few weeks. I've been taking time out of my Sunday evenings to prep for food for the week.  I found some new pitas that I absolutely LOVE, they're so good, and cheap! This worked out perfect as well as some pulled pork, taco soup, and fish with vegetables.  

We've been working hard and lifting big at the gym! I love doing pull ups and working my triceps! I'm so proud of Nina who can do pull ups like a boss now! 

Nina thinks it's funny that I like to watch myself in the mirror. 

I just like it because I watch my form and make sure i'm doing it right :) 

As far as cravings go, i've done pretty good, except Nutella.  

It's my weakness....

BUT I am happy to say i've found a replacement.. 

Hazlenut butter, it's much healthier and tastes just as good.

Love that stuff :)

As far as goals go, I got a pair of size 7/8 capri pants that I bought the other day, that is my goal size for now, and they are super tight and I can hardly get them on, and it makes me have huge love handles, BUT I will fit into them one day. I can promise you that, they are hanging on my bedroom door so I see them every day and it can remind me of what my goal is. 

Nina and I went running last weekend and ran 4 miles, it went really good, there was a hill at the end that tried to kill us, but we made it ! We passed out on my driveway and had sweat body imprints.. ha!

We like to take pictures at the gym and end up laughing every time so it seems like we're not working, but I promise we are.  The other day we had a huge group come with us, Kate, Mom, Heather and her son, Lynette and her daughter, Nina, and I.  It got a little crazy, but we had a lot of fun.  

Nina and I have been working so hard to get her at her first goal next Thursday.  We did an hour and a half session at the gym this week and I burned 1,000 ish calories, which means she burned like 2,300.. she burns so much its crazy sauce! We tried pushups and could do some :D WOOT! 

Yesterday we woke up and ran a 10K.  My calf has been really sore and hurting so I was nervous to run, but it was perfect weather! 60 ish degrees and a light breeze, so I headed to Layton and we were off.  We did it in 1:28 minutes and averaged a 13 minute mile.  We did so good! We jogged the whole time except for the halfway point when we stopped to stretch and one other time when we had to stretch our calves, Nina is convinced she was getting sympathy pains because her left calf was killing her too! Ha! I got a little sun, and burned a ton. 

When I got home I worked around the house, we're renovating the basement bathroom so I was hauling sheetrock and wood to the truck to take to the dump, I burned another 1,000 calories. When I took a shower man it felt SO good, I was so dirty and sweaty. When I was done eating for the night, this is what MFP Told me.. thats a 22 pound difference! Crazy awesome. If only I could burn that much every day!
