           Lunch: sauteed radishes (with radish greens)
           Dinner: sauteed kale and chicken sausage, 1 1/2 hot peppers (stuffed with chicken and turkey sausage, diced tomatoes, seasonings, cheese), 1/2 acorn squash (stuffed with chicken and turkey sausage, kale, parmesan cheese), 5 small sugar cookies, 2 fun size peanut M&Ms, 12 oz almond/coconut milk, 1 can of diet caffeine free coke

My Workouts:

Mostly running..especially now that I signed up for a marathon. I run on the treadmill or at a nearby walking trail, but with the longer distances I'll have during training, I'll probably find some new places to run.  I also use Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred and Bob Harper's 1 hour strength training DVDs.  My schedule right now looks like this:

Monday and/or Wednesday: Shred or strength training
Tuesday and Thursday: 30 minute run
Friday: walk
Saturday (or Sunday if I don't have time on Saturday): Long distance run

I use the 30 minute runs to increase speed. Each time, I try to go a little bit faster for a little longer.  So, one day, I might start my first 25 minutes running at a 5.5(about 11 min/mile) and then run the last 5 minutes at 6.0 (10 min/mile). The next time I run, I'll try to split my time 20 minutes at 11 minute/mile and then run the last 10 minutes at 10 minute/mile.

For my long distance runs, I try to run at a slower speed the whole time, around 11-12 minute/mile.

 *My new, SMALLER clothes that I ordered arrived a couple days ago!  I've gone down one size in my jeans! I wore a pair of my regular jeans today with a belt and it was just baggy and uncomfortable!  What a great feeling!  Finally feels like I'm getting somewhere!  Can't wait to go down to the next size!
