Hubs Lunches and A New Training Plan

I know this is 2012 and this may seem very Mayberry but I still pack Hubs a lunch almost every morning. It saves us money and keeps him from eating fried food from the Chuck Wagon (Allsups reference for the Texans). I'll admit that I also like the feeling of doing something sweet for the Hubs first thing int he morning.  It starts our day off right. Especially when I leave sweet and/or scandalous messages in with his goodies. What husband wouldn't like a side of sexy with their sandwich??

Anyway....
Here is what his lunch looked like today:



Cajun Turkey Wrap, PB Crackers, 1/2 Corn Muffin (usually there is a snack bag of chex mix, pretzels or a protein bar but we were all tapped out)

 

I can always tell when I've done an especially good job on his lunch when I get a call from him really early to tell me he loves me or is thinking of me in the nude.

Who knew Sack Lunches = Happy Marriages?? Nice.

On the the new training program.
As I mentioned in an earlier post I am way past the 5K training program now and am going to move on to a 10K program. I like the one by Hal Higdon: Click to view and print!

It is a really good intermediate level training program.  There are also programs for Beginners, Advanced and people who want to Walk a 10K.

Projected Workout for Today:

1. Run 3-4 miles
2. 15 Minutes - Core

What are you training for right now?

Have you ever done a Hal Higdon training program before?

A Complete Miracle!

Vacation!!

So, this past weekend my husband, son and I went on a three day vacation to Red River, NM.  It was fantastic funliness! The extremely bad for me food was fantastic as well! Do I feel guilty for eating unhealthy all weekend? No. Why, you ask? I will tell you why, because being good 100% of the time is craptastic lame sauce.

There is no way anyone can be perfect 100% of the time.  Even if you could ... umm, Big Suck! It's nice to get to eat what you want every once in a while in moderation. I thoroughly enjoyed it and I refuse to feel bad for endulging when the periods of endulgence are few and far between. Not to mention, if you try to be good all the time the likelihood that you will fall back into bad eating habits are much higher for the following reasons: 1) You start to resent being healthy because you never let yourself have any of the things you want. 2) You never get to eat/drink what you friends are eating/drinking (especially drinking) 3) Your body is going to crave things from time to time and if it doesn't get what it wants ... Crazeballs Binge Eating!! That shiz will jump up and bite you in the ass one day after too much abstaining. Been there, eaten that. 4) It sucks!

So, it's fine to say yes to a piece of pizza every once in a while.  You just have to make sure that you are eating these things in Moderation! Yes you can eat pizza.  No you can't have a 3rd/4th/5th slice.

Back to the complete miracle that merited the title. I lost a pound on vacation!! No Lie!!

You may be wondering why this is, and I will tell you.  We walked EVERYWHERE. It was only 75 degrees out and we were not going to waste it being in a car.  So we walked everywhere we went for 2 days. This wasn't fast walking either. We just strolled around town at a leasurely pace and it not only kept me from gaining any weight from the breakfast burritos, pancakes, pizza, chips, and loaded baked potatoes, but it actually made me lose a pound.

So I got to endulge and just had to put in minimal efforts to keep from gaining any weight on our vacation. Life is good. So good.
