Lip balm makes a good anti-chafing agent...

...ah, the things you learn when you just moved into a new apartment and can't find the bodyglide. ;)

Woke up early, around 4 a.m. Lay in bed until 4:45 or so. Realized that I didn't know where the bodyglide was, and I wanted to run today. Got up and spent a little too much time looking for it.

Ever notice how you get used to how you look in one mirror, but when you look in a different mirror, you are surprised by what you see? I've noticed that in my new apartment, I look like I'm getting some results! My upper body is definitely more built up than it was! My chest, shoulders, back, arms, and hips definitely look sexier ;). Very cool. Especially since the scale still remains stuck =P.

Morning training:
Walked to gym.
Speed day on the treadmill (1.0 incline, of course)!:
10 minutes warm up (jog 5.0 mph).
Ran 6 one-minute sprints (7.8 mph) with 3 minutes jogging in between.
Jogged/walked 10 minutes to recover.
Ran 4 more sprints, with longer periods of jogging/walking to recover in between.
That made for 60 minutes, total. Walked to cool down for five minutes.
Then, hit the hardwood floors for some yoga stretches. Stretched for 15 or 20 minutes. That felt REALLY good.
Walked home.

I'm definitely beat =).

Breakfast (8:40 a.m.)- 5 HUGE bananas. Perfectly ripe. Yum.
Lunch (11:00 a.m.) - 6 fuyu persimmons.
Lunch II (1:00 p.m.) - 15 oz. baby spinach, 2.5 lbs grape tomatoes.
Lunch III 3:45 p.m. - 5 fuyu persimmons

Bed around 6:15.

Congrats on moving into your new apt. May this new phase and new place bring you lots of joy!

I'm not losing much weight either (I thought I had more water weight to lose than the little I've lost) but my body is definitely slowly changing inside and outside.

You should put a before and after pic of yourself sometime...I bet it'd be mighty inspiring!

I keep reading how tired you are all the time. And you train for 8 days in a row. If you are training that much your body must be screaming for a break. Take a couple of days off and I'm sure your performance will be amazing afterwards. Our bodies are not made to endure that kind of stress with no breaks.

Thanks for the comments, Sarah, and Anonymous.

Anonymous...would you consider signing your comments? Obviously, you are under no obligation to do so...but I'd be better able to respond to your comments/have a discussion with you on the topic if I knew who you are and what your knowledge of health/natural hygiene is.

If you'd prefer not to...no worries though. Thanks for reading!
