Summer time is great for all things fresh. I really enjoy fresh fruits and vegetables. To be honest, I hardly ever buy canned veggies or even frozen veggies. Recently, some of my favorite fresh fruits are blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries.
This week was definitely interesting, especially given that yesterday was the 4th of July. It's my favorite holiday. I love everything about it, especially the food. Since I knew that it would be a splurge day for me, I decided to get an extra workout in.
Weigh In: Down 2lbs.
Exercise Completed: Since I'm training for a half marathon in October, I make sure to get in atleast three runs each week that follow my training schedule. I tried Yoga for the first time and absolutely loved it. I like Body by Bethany Yoga DVD. I can do it in the comfort of my own home and not look like a fool to all the other experts out there. There are certain types or Yoga that I'm not a fan of, for personal reasons, but I liked this DVD. My body felt so good and tight after stretching my muscles. Great for the low key cross training days.
Splurge/Guilty Pleasure: All of the 4th of July! Haha, it wasn't really that bad. I have a thought that you should be able to enjoy the holidays. I didn't have any problem with eating the chips and queso or the cookies I ate yesterday, because I made sure to get in an extra workout. I like to look at it like your body is a bank account. You have to balance the good with the bad. So if I know I'm going to have a splurge, I make to even it out by eating a little more fruits and veggies the next time or getting in an extra workout. Yesterday I ran and went swimming.
Success Story: Every week checked off of my training for the half marathon is a success to me.
Recipes: I don't have a recipe, but I love the Flat Out Pita's made into a turkey wrap with baby spinach, Laughing Cow Swiss cheese, and salsa.
Photos: My breakfast of Oatmeal, ground flaxseed, cinnamon and blueberries.

Two pounds?!? That's awesome, girl! Also, that oatmeal looks DELICIOUS!
That's awesome that you're training for a half marathon! I've always been impressed by runners, but after starting the Couch-to-5k program I'm not only impressed but completely admire their discipline!
Nice job on the weight loss :o)
Two pounds, good for you! That oatmeal looks delicious by the way. Probably a lot better than the Starbucks oatmeal I had today (the thing says "140 calories per serving" but doesn't tell how many servings are in what they give ya, eek). Hang in there, and see you next week!
Like you blog very much!
