Fear and Loathing in Our Living Room

Fear that I might throw up and loathing for Tony Horton, that is. Today we shifted from Sculpt Circuit 1-2 to Sculpt Circuit 3-4. It is a a lot of the same, just faster and/or more of it, plus they add in more exercises. To top it off, I discovered that I was doing the "close" push ups wrong, so now I am basically starting almost from scratch on them, and they hurt even more the right way. Sigh. Oh, and Tony wants me to transition to REAL push ups, you know, not on my knees. (hence the loathing).

It did not help matters that I'm still a bit sore and worn out from yesterday's Marshall University Half Marathon relay. I posted my best pace EVER! Kind of crazy considering how much I've struggled with pace lately.


Team Deviled Legs

My relay team, the Deviled Legs, did awesome! It was a family affair. My teammates were my sister, April, and niece, Johanna. We all did great and beat the first marathoner to the finis!. Jeff beat his race time from last year - YAY, Jeff! My brother-in-law, Sam, finished his first half marathon with an impressive time, as well. It was a great race day!

On the diet front, my calorie differential (calories eaten vs. calories burned) has been in my favor for the past 8 consecutive days. You all know how I struggle to maintain this, so this is serious progress. SparkPeople.com has a great report that lets me track this daily, weekly, monthly....this site is a great resource (Disclaimer: this is not an add, this is just my favorite site).

Now, I know that we owe you all a weigh in. Today we travelled all day, so a weigh in would have been distorted. Check back soon for the weigh in.
