{Housewives run in the early afternoon}

{ FYI I'm dripping sweat as I write this post}

Ain't nobody got time to run at 5am! I'm busy getting my beauty rest people!

Okay I'm not knocking 5am workouts. I wish I had that willpower to get up that early. 

My motto right now is I'm a newlywed, I don't have children right now therefore I sleep until I want to. I work in the afternoons at an after school program so there is literally no reason for me to be up early. 

I know your jealous.

I would be too.

So, I run when I get up.

Usually between 9-10:30 I'm laced up and moving.

I guzzle some water because I haven't had in during my beauty sleep so it gets my metabolism going. 

I don't know how some people drink soda in the morning. 

My stomach would HATE me.

Then I usually get some protein in me. 

Egg, Yogurt, Whole wheat toast with PB.

Something. 

Otherwise I get so exhausted by the end of my run and I don't finish strong.

I'm on a 10k training schedule.

I run 4-5 times a week.

I do strength training at least 2-3 times. (I'm trying to get better)

I do circuit training 2-3 times a week.

My schedule says to have 3 rest days but I only do 2.

Which even then I still ride my beach cruiser around town.

Also, I stretch a lot! You really need to because otherwise your muscles get tight and it's harder to get active right off the bat.

I'm really happy that a little over 8 weeks ago I decided to get active and healthy again.

I can't be the only newlywed who put on "love" weight.

Andrew and I would eat out alllllll the time when we were dating and engaged. It's kind of annoying thinking back about it. I just let myself go because I was happy. I didn't go super crazy but I was headed down that road pretty quick if I didn't changed something.

Every time I run I think back how active I was. I used to do two-a-days during water polo. I don't know if you understand how hard that sport is. It's one of the hardest in my opinion. We had 5am workouts (see I used to do them) Then afternoon workouts. That would total 4 hours a day of dry land workouts & in the water workouts. 

It was nuts & I couldn't get enough carbs in my system to keep up.

What i would do for that body again!

Anyways, my point is I know I can do this. 

I know I can push through painful moments because they make me stronger. 

And you know what?

You can to!

Love Forever,
