Monday accountability: Marine Corps Marathon training Week 2

Last week:

Monday: did 100% of the workout plan and stuck to the Shakeology cleanse!

Tuesday: did 100% of the workout plan and again stuck to the cleanse! Lost 7 lbs since Monday's weigh in but most of it was apparently water weight.

Wednesday: did most of the workout plan - got my ChaLEAN Extreme Burn Circuit 2 in the morning but only did about 40 minutes of the planned 60 minutes of speed training...had to cut short due to the heat. Better safe than sorry though, right? Stuck to the Shakeology cleanse again but weighed in 5 lbs heavier than the day before (which is why I knew so much of the weight loss was water weight!)

Thursday: Easy to stick to this day - it's rest and stretching day! Did some nice, long, relaxing stretches and rested for a while before some late night volleyball games (that helped me feel better about missing out on 20 minutes of running the day before). Back to normal eating! That was nice too! Weighed in 2 lbs lighter than the day before so my total weight loss during the Shakeology cleanse was about 4 lbs! Not bad for 3 days!!

Friday: Did both of my workouts (ChaLEAN Extreme Burn Circuit 3 and 40 minute run) in the morning but my run got cut short again...thanks to thunder and lightening. I love running in the rain but I draw the line at lightening...kinda scary. Stuck pretty well to my nutrition plan but I know I wasn't perfect.

Saturday: I got to spend the weekend with my man and we decided to do the run Sunday and rest on Saturday instead. Fine by me! Ate alright but could do better.

Sunday: So apparently we're both bad at waking up in the morning...we didn't get to our run until the hottest part of the day so we did a little over 3.5 miles instead of the full 4. Can't be too upset though because I know I did what I could and I'll get better as the training goes on and the temperatures go down.

Current / Goal Stats:

Weight: 159 / goal is to be under 150
Body Fat: Still sticking at 27.6% grrr.../ want to be around 22%

Nutrition Plan:
Using my calories burned information from last week, a target of an average 300 calories / day deficit, and a 65/25/10% carbs/protein/fat breakdown of my calories, my daily goals are:

Total calories: 1845 - 2195
Carbs (g): 300-357
Protein (g): 115-137
Fat (g): 18-24

The fat part is tricky but I'm finding lots of new veggies to try and am learning to get super creative with egg white omelets. Might get boring after a while but I'm not thinking about that yet!

Workout Plan:
Still sticking to the training calendar found at https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&pid=explorer&chrome=true&srcid=0B_SDKxVAXee6ZmNmZDBlMjktNTQyZi00MTZlLWI2YTQtZTlhMTllZjllNDY3&hl=en_US because I believe it will work. It felt good last week so why fix what's not broken?
