Countdown to Summit!

Hey all of you sexy beasts! Thanks for following along. If you have read my past few posts, you know that I have a pretty important blood test coming in August as well as a medical weigh in. I had been pretty permissive in my food choices and slacked on the workouts for a few weeks and now that I realize I don't have time to play around anymore, it's serious. I also have an important personal development/training trip (Summit) planned the weekend after the blood work/week before the endocrinologist appointment. It is an awesome coincidence that my team decided to run a challenge group just for coaches to help motivate one another to slim down in time for Summit and so far it has been working like a charm. I am competitive and so I plan on doing well, not only for myself, but for my pride! Goal: 152 by August 8.


Now that I am back on track with my nutrition, my fitness has followed suit. I have been on my nutrition plan all week - including when we took a last minute trip to the city to see Civil War at a private screening last night. I planned my day and brought a protein drink and almonds in my bag, just in case. When Mr. Photobomb offered me some snacks and popcorn from the concession stand, both my sister and I simply asked for water. When I got home, I was hungry, so I had a sugar free Jello... yes, I know its full of fake sugar, BUT it was 10 calories and 1 gram of protein and literally kept me from eating all kinds of other garbage, so I call that a win.

Waiting on the 1 train. I was working on that protein drink and he was worried about me getting pushed onto the tracks. HAHAH!

Yahoooooooo! Sometimes we get a little excitement in our lives. 

On the fitness front, I did re-injure my shoulder doing some of the push-ups and plyo action in my workouts because sometimes I am thick headed and don't listen to my body, so I have been wearing my Rocktape since the weekend and today I was able to do my workout (modified) without the tape. I intend to finish 22 Minute Hard Corps and I am halfway through week 5 right now.

Saturday's progress. Looks like my abs MIGHT actually exist. Also, my beautiful hot pink Rocktape is on display. 

Tape showing again - hanging out with the kids at Liberty Science Center this weekend. 

Running - I have 2 miles left on my 13k race for April, because my running mates had injuries and I skipped a week. I will make that up this weekend and start some miles for the Half Blood Prince Half Marathon that I am working on. Right now, I have trouble going more than 5 miles in a clip, which I think is mostly mental, but I am working on that. For the time being, I am breaking up my virtual races into large chunks so that I can complete. My goal by June is to run 5 miles with a new PR on the ground. Next year, I would like to be able to run an entire half marathon in one shot.

In other breaking news - I have been all over snapchat lately. Not really with anything too intense or creative but when I am cooking, my videos are fun and interactive. If you are on there - add me as your friend! Snap:coachrosierose
