Fitness Flashback on Friday

I've joined Secret Mom Thoughts in posting our week in review in the area of fitness.  It's rather nice to just post what was done to see where I am falling short, what areas I need to work on, and so Secret Mom isn't alone!  Let's move on to the recap:
Exercise:
Sunday - Houston Half Marathon (only burned 2000 calories)
Monday - ran from one plane to the next in order to get home
Tuesday - rested
Wednesday - STS chest, shoulder and bicep workout
Thursday - STS leg workout
Friday - STS MMA Boxing
Saturday - STS back and triceps

What I can say for sure is that I had no business doing the leg workout following the half marathon.  My body is considering staging a full fledged rebellion.  Thankfully, I take AdvoCare products which ease the tensions between my mind that wants to "go" and the body that wants rest.  Throughout the weekend, I did not get enough rest either, which delayed my body's recovery. 

Thanks to the fact I fix our dinners for the month in advance, the eating has been ok.  Monday and Tuesday I felt like I ate nonstop, but as I thought about it, I did not eat enough following the half marathon.  I ate somewhere around 500 (or less) calories before the race, and then proceeded to burn 2000 calories.  I just didn't refuel properly so I was hungry, which is not normal for me.

Hope you all are having a great week.  Here's to your health!

Awesome job on the half marathon. You definitely deserve a rest and some extra food to fuel your body.
