:: Weekly planning ::

So I realized I've sorta been slacking in my fitness regime ever since the sprained ankle. Quite honestly, even now at certain angles my ankle still feels "off". I wonder if it'll ever be at 100% again. Regardless, I am trudging on. I realized my goal of 140 lbs is getting pretty bleak for Dec 31st at the rate I'm going. I think I'm going to settle for between 140-150 lbs realistically speaking. So there's so much I want to do in my weekly workouts... kettlebells, running maintenance, yoga, group classes... but so little time. I've decided to do my stuff in 2-week cycles so I still get to try everything I like. No more crazy double workouts daily but I'll do some of that here and there. Time to get back in the swing of things!!! Will begin officially next week when "recovery week" is over.

:: Day 115 - Summary ::

Activities: nada. but i'm working on my weekly workout sheet now!

8am: ABC juice + frozen blueberries + a fig, shared with Mikee
I'm not liking the tartness that the blueberries bring so I'm going to be skipping them for now.


12pm:
Ended up having a bowl of soup, 1/2 egg roll, 1/2 burger that Ricardo offered me. I was too weak. Oh and yogurt and granola too.

Main meal @ home
Felt kinda stuffed from lunch so had some brown rice, veges, leftover halibut, leftover porkchops + 1 apple. But definitely smaller portions.

Activities: Still resting... more stretching though! I've started to have thoughts of running a marathon once in my life. I dont know how this evil thought managed to creep into my mind but i started reading up Hal Higdon's stuff and suddenly very inspired to do it. Might be a great before-i-turn-30 milestone for my life as well? Thoughts anyone?
