Food + Push-Ups + Runs + Teeth. Oh My!

Wednesday

I made quite a lot of unhealthy food choices today.
I took a day off from work, and was on the road with my boyfriend delivering furniture.
Pizza from Sam's Club.
Sour gummi bears from gas station.
Also had an ice cream cone.
I got home and got to running on the treadmill.
Total: 3.5 miles.
Ran 8 x 400 at 6 mph. Recovery @ 5 mph for 0.05 mile.
But it was a speedy workout. Did 0.5 mile warm-up and some to cool-down after.


Thursday
20 push-ups. Goodness gracious sweet twinkle stars! I wasn't even sure if this could be considered a push-up but really, this was all I could do. And my arms were feeling the burn. Golly. I have absolutely NO upper body strength. At the end of this month's push-up challenge, I can only hope I am strong enough to do the non-whimpy lame push-ups and have progressed to semi-real push-ups.
Blogger is not letting me upload an YouTube video. But go to YouTube and type "Vision Runner Counter Push-Ups."

Friday
3 mile run (34 minutes). Ran early this morning. Which was good to get it out of the way.
20 push-ups. Oh my stars. I am still sore from yesterday. Apparently, my so-called lame, whimpy push-ups weren't so lame afterall. These counter push-ups are great. I do 10 when I was waiting for my lunch to get ready and did another 10 when I was waiting for my bread to knead in the Kitchenaid mixer.

Lunch was a Morning Star Chik patty, on those thin bread, and spinach. I also spread some hummus.
It may look blah, but it was tasty and satisfying.

 And in the evening, I decided to make bread again.
Flour, milk, water, yeast, sugar, salt and butter. And love.
Simple ingredients.

Bread + Butter = Perfect Match Made in Heaven.
Needless to say, that's all I ate for supper.
Who wouldn't?

Just for fun and because I am excited at the progress.
Look at my teeth!
Specifically the top lateral incisor that's on the left in the pictures before.
Picture on left is the very day I first had my braces on in November 2011.
Picture on the right is February 2012.

I have a long run again tomorrow.
Wish me luck!
