Say It Do It: Round 2

Wow, I can’t believe it’s already 10:45pm! This has been a Monday unlike any other. Here’s my day so far in bullet points.

  • I slept until 7:45am since my body was still clearly exhausted from our busy weekend in Atlanta!
  • I did my weekly grocery shopping at Duane Reade this morning when I saw their oatmeal sale sign! I left a few minutes later with 5 bananas, a canister of oats, apples, and a fresh pack of gum! I’m loving the redesigned Duane Reade shopping experience! They merge my favorite parts of the drugstore with all my grocery needs and happen to be located right across from my office!

  • Bo and I met at the subway at 6:15 so we could make it to the gym by 7pm. The evening gym experience was far different from my morning routine. I had to wait 2 minutes for a treadmill and then spent my run watching Entertainment Tonight and gawking at the number of people crammed into our New York City sized gym. It was a humid and hot sweatbox tonight! But, I slammed out an awesome 5k run in 29:10 in preparation for tomorrow’s NYRR Wall Street 5k!
  • Bo and I then enjoyed our first ever weeknight movie date! We bought dinner from Pret and snuck it into the theatre before enjoying the 8pm showing of Bridesmaids. Overall, I’d give the movie a B. It was definitely entertaining but some of the jokes were too long and at times the main characters life was a bit painful to watch. But, in the end we laughed and it was a great way to start the week.

 

Now, in Fit Chick in the City style, I want to share this week’s workout plans in order to help myself stay accountable. I know this week is going to be a busy one with two special events, one work event, and a trip to Philadelphia for Leslie’s big day.

Sunday- Physique 57 Arms+Abs DVD

Monday- evening 5k run on the treadmill+abs
Tuesday- AM Physique 57 Arms+Abs DVD+ NYRR Wall Street 5k in the evening
Wednesday- Personal training appointment+Pure Yoga Figure 4 event in the evening
Thursday- 6 mile run in Central Park+Physique 57 Arms+Abs DVD in the evening
Friday- AM personal training appointment
Saturday- fun run with Meghann in Philadelphia+ dancing the night away at the wedding
Sunday- rest day

Say It, Do It: FCITC Style

Happy Monday!

In case you’re catching up from the holiday weekend, it was a busy one in our world. We went out Friday and Saturday night with friends, which included dinner at two amazing restaurants Beauty & Essex and Zengo. The reviews of both will be up later this week but needless to say they were delicious!

In addition, the weekend’s post highlight the most exciting parts including Easter and a new PR!

During the past month, I’ve kept up with Jes and other people’s workouts via her great feature, Say It, Do It. This Sunday feature helps readers start the week off on the right foot and stay accountable. This week, I decided to join in the fun in hopes of keeping myself of the right track during a very busy week. I want to make sure my workouts continue to challenge me so I can enjoy more great race PRs like the one I had this Saturday!IMG_1728 (480x640)

Below are the workouts I shared in the comments section of her post today.

Monday- AM Equinox Spin + abs/arms
Tuesday- AM personal training appointment+3 mile run
Wednesday- AM Equinox Spin+ abs
Thursday- 5-6 mile run
Friday- AM personal training appointment
Saturday- yoga+ 4 mile run
Sunday- rest day

In addition, I’m also including a food challenge. Now that Lent is over, sweets are allowed to come back into my life. This is scary because I think cutting out sweets was a catalyst in my weight loss these past six weeks. I don’t want to gain any of that weight back or return to my previous ways. Therefore, my goal is to limit sweets to the weekend as much as possible. That means no packaged sweets, office candies, or leftover cookies.

What are your goals for the week?
