naughty flogging - weekend recap
it wasn't such a bad weekend in terms of naughty nibbles save for the fact that i was, ummm, over-served at a mid-life crisis themed birthday party on friday night. and when i say over-served, let's just say that it really helped curb any appetite i had for ANYTHING, naughty or nice, for the rest of the weekend.
so, here are my indulgences for the weekend...
Workout
somebody's got a case of the moondays - i think it's me!
i'm learning to become better friends with my ipod and i actually remembered to take it to the gym with me this morning! i was able to listen to the today show while running, which made the treadmill vastly more tolerable. (note i said "listen" as i am such a klutz that looking at the tv while running makes me dizzy, so i have to keep my eyes firmly on the treadmill screen. ah
Workout
burning off a little bit of the gluttony
i woke up this morning feeling surprisingly energized (considering the obscene amount that i consumed yesterday)! my run was really lovely and i thoroughly enjoyed watching all of the tourists meander through the quarter...a great way to start the challenge and the holiday season!
friday workout: 3.25-mile run through the neighborhood
I'm a naughty, naughty girl
thanksgiving was deliciously gluttonous and i am proud to say that i partook of every opportunity to stuff myself silly with my friends' wonderful cooking. my naughty flog for thanksgiving is therefore quite lengthy :)
Back on the wagon
i am so ready to THWOMP this challenge. (she types with one hand while shoving caramel popcorn into her mouth with the other.)
Workout
last day of loafing
i did run two miles today, but i've found myself relishing in small luxuries - like taking the elevator - as i amp up for the upcoming challenge. that said, i am so ready to get started!
wednesday's workout: 2-mile run
Workout
cured!
i'm happy to report that i will not die of the consumption and am on the mend. i got to go running this morning and was rewarded with breakfast with the husband and puppy at our neighborhood fancypants eatery (cucumber-orange-apple-fennel juice, mushroom and garlic quiche, blueberry pancakes)!
Workout
Bourbon Mondays
my favorite part of running longer is being able to run down Bourbon Street.
Back to work...and health and thrift
Please allow me to introduce you to the unsung hero of many a good Southern kitchen, Blue Runner Beans. If any of you Yanks can get ahold of a can of these delectable (and guiltless) delights, don't wait! Down here in southeast Louisiana, we're inundated with Blue Runner commercials that tout all their glories (this is my favorite: on 11.12.09 at 13:23 1 Comment
Workout
Change of pace for a day
I'll have to post a picture of the Corpus Christi Bay when I get back to New Orleans - what a lovely place to run! I hit the pavement as soon as the last workshop let out and enjoyed the breeze and seagull calls while dodging all of my gull-feeding conference-mates.
Now, just two more conference/hotel meals before I get to go home to real food :)

Workout Conference-Style
Hail from Corpus Christi, Texas! Home of...ummm...gateway to the texas beach?
Workout
2-mile solo jog
forced myself to run alone this morning...
i've absolutely lost all of my patience with my under armour shirt - the slick material keeps riding all the way up my torso so all of the early-morning commuters are forced to confront my bulge! not very pretty. must start searching for new winter gear.
Workout
running on the river
today i FINALLY convinced my running partner to climb the levee wall and run along the river on the utility road. how great! she was thoroughly impressed by the change in scenery and temperature. we had a nice, liesurely jog, making sure to say hello to the scores of navy recruits doing their morning run on the same path.
Workout
felicitamos!
today was our big annual celebration of dia de los muertos, altars and all. the day was packed with cleaning out the house, preparing food, and assembling the public and family altars...BUT i did get to fit in a 2.5 mile run with my running partner (for some reason, she doesn't believe me that i've run 3 miles on my own. yargh.)

tarnations. oh well. at least it forced me to look back at the feats page to see that i've actually completed the peronal chef feat. so, it's a win-win :)

i have the same issue! treadmills are the bane of my existence. it's awful to admit, but the only time i can stand the treadmill is when i'm lucky enough to get those fancy ones with the personal cable tv's attached (it feels like i'm cheating!!). i think you're right on with your idea to find an indoor track. and a really rockin' soundtrack to keep you going...

congratulations! i'm now reading your post at 10:16 p.m., which means that, in all likelihood, you've made it through the day alive! the change in diet gets sooo much easier; just give it a few days.

you are a braver man than i to attempt the no-sugar feat...bravo! looks like you've got a great game plan! good luck! (i just finished a no-sugar cleanse and really got into rice cakes and cucumbers to take the place of crackers for hummus-dipping purposes.)

thanks for all of your input, sandyliz! i finally found one free yoga class on sunday afternoons, so i may give that a shot (because you are 100% correct about the safety and learning curve factors). but it's nice to know that there's some stuff out there for cheap, lazy people like me :)

looks like you and i will represent the latitudes below the mason-dixon line for this challenge! good luck finishing your cleanse and transitioning into you new routine for the month!
Posted in response to: Psyched to Try This
it is! it's a gorgeous walking/jogging path along the mississippi river that you reach by climbing over the levee wall and crossing the train tracks you see in the photo. best (and most tourist-free) view of downtown NOLA!
