Geez what a crazy crazy CUH-RAY-ZEEE week. \u00a0At least Zliten sent me random flowers for no real good reason.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Work-wise, my assistant person is out so I’m doing two people’s jobs at a crucial part of the milestone so that’s always fun. \u00a0Tally of how many weeks I kept my mellow from my extended break…5. \u00a0This week I got my frantic back on. \u00a0Oh well, time to plan a vacation, right?<\/p>\n

So, this is where I was supposed to be tapering for my OMG FIRST MARATHON and now, not so much. \u00a0Now, the focus is:<\/p>\n

a) calorie deficit.<\/p>\n

b) lifting heavy things<\/p>\n

c) short and intense cardio<\/p>\n

d) preparing for being an adult<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

So what have I done?<\/p>\n

2364 burned<\/p>\n

1389 eaten<\/p>\n

975 deficit<\/p>\n

(30 min eliptical + 30 mins crunchtime)<\/p>\n

Tuesday:<\/p>\n

2894 burned<\/p>\n

1403 eaten<\/p>\n

1491 deficit<\/p>\n

(5.4 mile run – 55 mins)<\/p>\n

Wednesday:<\/p>\n

2627 burned<\/p>\n

1777 eaten<\/p>\n

850 deficit<\/p>\n

(30 mins – 9 mile bike hills + 50 mins pilates)<\/p>\n

Thursday:<\/p>\n

2865 burned<\/p>\n

1999 eaten<\/p>\n

866 deficit<\/p>\n

(4 mile run 43 mins)<\/p>\n

Friday:<\/p>\n

2460 burned<\/p>\n

1414 eaten<\/p>\n

1046 deficit<\/p>\n

(30 mins weights)<\/p>\n

Saturday:<\/p>\n

3903 burned<\/p>\n

2702 eaten<\/p>\n

1201 deficit<\/p>\n

(10 mile run, 2 hours)<\/p>\n

Sunday:<\/p>\n

2322 burned<\/p>\n

1841 eaten<\/p>\n

481 deficit<\/p>\n

(rest day)<\/p>\n

So, for all intents and purposes, I should be well on my way to losin’ it. \u00a0Not so much. I’m a lb up. \u00a0Sticking with it for a while but really, we’re stumped. \u00a0Even if the ratios are a bit off, I should be down a bit. \/sigh. \u00a0My miraculous wondrous body.<\/p>\n

My huge non scale victory is that I will do 4 strength sessions this week without dying. \u00a02 mostly-core classes, and 2 arms-and-legs heavy lifting. \u00a0I’m sore in an awesome way. \u00a0I look forward to my guns and leg definition resurfacing. \u00a0Perhaps this is the missing link. \u00a0Really, fitness gods, I’ll do whatever you want… just direct me there, kthx.<\/p>\n

Other than finding that my capacity for recovery is better than I though, it seems to be making me faster even on sore muscles. \u00a0Bonus. \u00a0I logged my best hills bike session in a long ass time and a really great couple of sub-10 min mile runs. \u00a0They are taking more effort than they should but I’ll work on that.<\/p>\n

For now though, I’m going to spend the rest of the dwindling evening watching the Space Station 3D DVD with my Zliten for the third time this week. \u00a0He’s a huge space nut and continues to get worked up over it and it’s really cute. \u00a0 Not in the “awwww” condescending way, but like seriously, I hope I’m this passionate about something in my life.<\/div>\n
Zliten’s quote for folks reading this blog is: “If your dream is not to go to space, you need to dream harder.” \u00a0Check out his awesome new haircut!! \u00a0He says it makes him faster so we’re leaving it until after the Austin Half in a week and change.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

And y’know, if your dreams don’t include getting to the moon, how on earth are you going to end up among the stars?<\/div>\n
Brevity, I know. \u00a0Don’t worry. \u00a0I’m sure I’m blather on more next time. \ud83d\ude42<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
