Laziness, Chocolate, Workouts

Posted by Nicole

Today was a day of pure laziness. I woke up after a wonderful 12 hour slumber, made a big breakfast, and then… sat for a few hours. I watched the USC vs. Arizona game while watching Netflix and catching up on internet news on the iPad. Our generation is obsessed with screens… or is that just me?

I watched “Morning Glory” and really really liked it. If you have Netflix and enjoy romantic comedies, give it a shot. Plus, Patrick Wilson is a hottie.

I eventually got my lazy bum out of the house and drove to Old Navy with Lindsey. I went with a mission – to get these dark green boots. They were less than $40…. such a steal.

After Old Navy, we went to Whole Foods and I stocked up on some essentials. Then, I made a delicious bowl of oat bran with banana and… chocolate chips. It’s all about balance.

Then I went to the gym!

Let’s talk about fitness…

Unlike my sis, I don’t do the day-by-day workout recaps. I like to look back on my overall fitness of the week- tally up the running miles, count the rest days, and reflect on how I felt throughout the week.

Sunday- 4.5 mile walk in Downtown LA; 3.1 mile treadmill run, 25 mins bike

Monday- 2 hour dance practice; cardio fun! 3.5 mile run, 10 mins bike, 2.5 mile run, 15 mins elliptical

Tuesday- 2 hour dance practice; 1 mile run and 2.25 mile walk on the treadmill (I carried weights for the last 10 minutes… felt the burn)

Wednesday- 40 min walk in the morning while studying; nighttime walking warmup, 4 mile run, cooldown

Thursday- 2 hour dance practice

Friday- REST!

Saturday- 25 mins treadmill walk, 15 mins elliptical

Overall, 14.1 running miles, a few fun dance practices, and some biking/elliptical action. I’m hoping for cooler weather soon so I can run outside without burning up! I’m also hoping to clean up my eating this upcoming week because it’s not fair to build my fitness while eating like cr@p.

Hope you are having a fun Halloween weekend. I’m still not sure if this weekend or next weekend is “Halloweekend.”
