I kicked my own ass Wednesday night at the gym! It was a fantastic, refreshing workout. First, I ran 3.56 miles. But I alternated between no incline and 2.0 incline at 5.0 pace.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nAll winter long I’ve run on the treadmill with zero incline because I didn’t want to aggravate my IT Band<\/a>. I shied away hills for fear of re-injury<\/a>, when I used to run hills all the time! When I was running my neighborhood training for Hood to Coast, I was running humongous hills. It was time to get back to it! It felt awesome to run “hills” again (even if they were small hills).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nAfter my kick-ass run, I spent some quality time in the Scary Weight Room area where all the big guys were. I don’t often use those machines with the weight plates, or the free weights because I feel unsure of myself. I’m glad I got back to it because I was able to get in a fantastic weight session after weeks of mediocre weight lifting. It was clearly time for a change from the “machines.”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nI focused on Chest, Shoulders and Back.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nI felt stronger and could lift more last night compared to what I used to be able to lift!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nI spent about 30 minutes lifting weights, feeling really good about my abilities, and ended with some stretching.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nGym Stats:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Time: 1:28<\/strong>
\nCalories Burned: 693<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nAfter the gym I cleaned up and Michael and I went out to dinner for our Date Night. He was craving Mexican and since he’s still on The Diet, we chose The Matador<\/a>. He ordered a steak with broccolini (on the plan!).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nI decided that I was no longer on The Diet. I will eat what Michael eats (on the diet) but in smaller portions and I won’t be avoiding carbs or restricting fruit anymore. I decided that I am okay with my body and I am okay with not losing weight!<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nI ordered a glass of Shiraz to go with dinner. But we skipped the chips and salsa. Despite the fact that I will be eating whatever I want, I’m not going to try and sabotage Michael’s efforts. I didn’t need the chips and salsa anyway.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nI ordered the shredded chicken enchilada. It came with rice (carbs!), black beans, guacamole and sour cream. It was delish!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nI ate one of the enchiladas, most of the rice and half the beans. I saved the rest for lunch.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nI also had dessert when we got home. A little bit of vanilla ice cream, low calorie fudge sauce and some chocolate chips. I was under my calories for the day and happy I was able to eat whatever I wanted!<\/p>\n

I am happy with what I see in the mirror. I am happy that my jeans aren’t tight anymore and I’m happy with what I’m eating. And I feel SOOO good today from last night’s weight lifting! I’m sore and it’s awesome!<\/em><\/p>\n
