This week was ridiculously intense yet pathetic all at once for me. I definitely fell below the yellow line at a gain of 2.8 lbs. WTF. I worked out like a maniac... crazy woman... lunatic... all week. Went to the gym 2x a day in some instances. So pissed.

Not a clue what went wrong there. And if one more person says "oh I'm sure you're just building muscle" I'm going to throw a kettleball at them. Of course I'm building muscle but I'm not exactly hitting up the protein powder.

Thursday's LCW brought on the dreaded "Stairs" routine - aka climb 20 floors of our building.  Here is my building:

FitCorp is on the second floor.  We had to 'run' to the 22nd floor (the last tippy top flippin floor).  I've done this before as part of a class for marine corps or something (OK really it's called BG Sports but seriously).  I couldn't walk for 4 days afterwards so needless to say I was a little scared.  My calves were literally twitching for an hour after LCW. I still have knots in my calves 4 days later - not exactly pleasant!

So after having a mini meltdown after Friday weigh in, I let it go for the most part. I took the day off on Saturday to play with Maverick on his first birthday, more on that later. Got back on the horse yesterday (Sunday) with a five mile run.

Run was an interesting one. Weather was ungodly gorgeous and after a mile I felt great except that I had to pee like a racehorse and apparently I had over dressed and was sweating profusely. God bless fast food restaurants. Where else can you realistically guarantee that you can use a public restroom requiring no human interaction? Don't have to say anything, buy anything just head right in. Thank you BK for saving my bladder and allowing me to continue my run. :)

Anyway, the SPECTACULAR weather this weekend was a huge mood elevator. Spent all day outside yesterday, it was glorious.  Met up with Gail and her bum knee after my run and we got some lunch and walked back to her neck of the woods for some BerryLine, YUM.  Perfect little day :)

Now if I could just be a literal loser this week rather than a figurative loser that would be great!

Here is the obligatory update.  Sorry so boring! ;)

I feel as though I worked out really hard this week.  But I probably was just trying to make up for the weekend prior all along.  I didn't take one day off which doesn't seem like much but it was good for me, I think.  I dropped 1.6lbs from last week.  Nothing huge but something just the same.

Need to get my running back on track - that is my goal for this week.  Got a good 'distance' run in this morning.  Tired leggos tonight, but it's a sense of accomplishment! :D

Does anyone want to run Broad Street Run with me??  It's 10 miles - all flat, practically downhill.  Mike ran it with me last year and he hadn't run more than 5 miles... he survived.  It's in Philly but the more the merrier!  Let me know :)
