March Update

Since we're currently having a snow day here in southern PA, I thought I'd do a little March update.  Our snow day has turned into a slush day, but it was looking like there could've been a lot of snow this morning! 

All of my walkway is now melted - with no shoveling, hooray!

 

March Goals:

1. Get more sleep.  Left without an alarm clock, I will sleep for 9-10 hours at night.  To get up at 5:30, I'd have to be getting to bed around 8:00pm on weeknights, so that seems a little much!  I will shoot for 7-8 hours though.

 

2. Be more consistent with weekly runs.  I was great with my long runs during half marathon training, but I really wasn't consistent with runs during the week.  I'd like to do more interval work to get faster.  I'm going to tweak my race plans a little too to go along with this goal.  I'm going to write a little more about those plans tomorrow!

 

3. Stop spending so many calories on empty food.  I eat 1500-1600 calories a day, and a lot of days I end up eating 300-400 of those calories in things like chocolate and cookies.  A treat each day isn't bad, but I need to make better treat choices.  A gluten, dairy, egg free cookie recipe is coming in a post on Friday! (and it tastes AWESOME!)

 

Also, those 2.5 pounds I gained last week?  Gone!  Plus another 0.9!  I'm now just .6 away from 75 pounds!  Hooray!!!
