Weekly Plan October 1-7

This past weekend was everything I had been wanting in a weekend for some time now. It was the perfect mix of fitness, friends, family, football, and fun. That’s a lot of F’s!

The weekend started with my weekly ballet class in Washington, DC. I love ballet! Can I just say that again? It is incredibly refreshing, while being a fantastic workout at the same time.

After ballet I met Becky at her place and then we walked down Connecticut Ave. in search of a breakfast place. The American City Diner was a place we had both seen a few times but had never been to so we decided it was the perfect place to grab breakfast.

The coffee was really good, so I knew the food was going to be good.  I always worry about breakfast places with bad coffee…

For breakfast I ordered an egg beaters omelet with bacon and cheese with a side  of homefries and an english muffin.

Becky ordered corn beef hash, scrambled eggs, homefries, and an english muffin.

Both meals were very good and at a VERY reasonable price.  I must say though, our waitress Linda was just about the most adorable person I had ever met.  Linda has worked at the American City Diner for over 15 years and was just about the most helpful and giving waitress I’ve ever had.  I will definitely return and request to be sat in her section in the future!

Saturday afternoon Neal and I traveled out to Gainesville, Virginia for our friends Kristy and Travis’ son’s 1 year birthday party.  I wish I had taken a few photos because it was just about the most adorable party!

Homemade salads and Nationals baseball closed out our Saturday.  I went to bed pretty early (9:30PM) which was just what I needed… especially with a 5 mile run scheduled for Sunday morning.

Sunday morning I woke up at 7:30AM (that’s 10 hours of sleep people), had some coffee, balanced our checkbook, and then headed out for my run.

Since moving to Maryland I’ve been wanting to find a good trail to run on and today was that day!  Neal and I headed over to Rock Creek Park, one of its many entrances, and hit the trail.  We ran 2.5 miles towards DC and then the 2.5 miles back towards our car.  I ran on a 2:1 interval (2 minutes of running and 1 minute of walking) and finished the run in 59:28 (roughly a 12 minute pace).

The weekend was really perfect, but if I’m being honest, I ended the weekend feeling a little blah weight wise.  Now I haven’t weighed myself since my scaleless summer ended, but I’m just feeling really heavy these days (Flo’s on her way too).  I’ve eaten a lot more carbs than normal and I think that has something to do with it.

Moving into this week I want to make sure that I make the most of my workouts, stick to my eating plan, cut out desserts/extra sweets, and drink lots of water!  Here’s my weekly plan October 1-7.
