GAH!

I have spent the better part of 2 hours trying to get my Nike+mini to work again!(the cute little widget on my left hand side bar)

Yesterday Chris text'd me and said it wasn't working, so when I got to work today that was the first thing I came to check on...I just love it so! (lol)

Somehow the code got switched (wtf?!) and do you think I could find any info on the Nike forums or google to help me figure it out?...NO.

FINALLY after much cursing diligence I figured it out On.MY.Own. and have since saved the code in notepad on my desktop for future reference. Go me :)

I activated the coaching program on Friday...this thing is super cool! You can pick from beginning walking/running or 5K, or running a half marathon or full marathon and it maps out a running schedule to get you to your goal! It also has other options like training for a sport that is pretty cool too. I chose the 5k option and printed out my running schedule through October. Another cool thing it does is post your results of your workout on facebook for you with something like this(this was mine today):

ran 3.23 mi on 8/10/2009 at 5:33 AM with a pace of 11'01"/mi http://nikerunning.nike.com/n/r/en_US/1007975995/1343022434/?sitesrc=fbk_ab_plus

Click on the link and it takes you to my Nike page with a graph of my run, how I felt, what the weather was like and if I used a treadmill or ran outside and my notes on the run...so cool!

I was really suppose to run 3 miles yesterday, but I was too busy cleaning my house. OMG, my girl's bedrooms were atrocious! It took us 7 hours(yes I made them help) to clean them from top to bottom and go through all their clothes and weed out what doesn't fit or what they simply refuse to wear anymore. I also had them help me clean the dining room cause they had somehow made it their own play room. Needless to say we were all exhausted and a sweaty mess because they have no air conditioning in their bedrooms(so they sleep in my room downstairs) and of course it's all of a sudden decided to be summer here and hotter the Hades the last few days!

Holy cow I've never heard so much complaining in all my life...but like I told them, I didn't make the mess's so I didn't see why I should have to clean it all up myself. Plus by them helping me, I told them if they never wanted to have to do this again then to never ever have it looking the way it did again. They promised and crossed their hearts many times. (lol!)

I then took them to get ice cream at 9:00 last night and yes I ate some...Paleo what?? AND I ate pizza on Saturday as well...I rock. I want the body of a super strict diet but when it comes right down to it and I start to follow one, my brain just freaks out and I get flashback to comp prep hell and I'm all like oh hell no, I ain't doing this sh*t again. Yes, I am scarred for life. (lol!)

But in all seriousness I just need to have a better game plan and to have my foods readily available and prepared. I know this. (oh and I have to want to eat it~heh)

Back on track this AM with a post run shake consisting of 1 scoop of Egg white protein powder(I am NOT giving this up), 1/4 c. of frozen blueberries, 1/2 of a banana, and 1tbsp of chia seeds. (notice there was no wheatgrass or spinach...both of these things have been making me want to hurl lately and if you don't like what your eating, your simply not going to eat it). Then a couple hours later, as I was trying to bring my mini me back to life, I had 1 whole egg and 5 egg whites, (scrambled) and 1/2 a grapefruit with some green tea to drink.(ack that's totally a comp prep breakfast, kill me now!)

I didn't get to go to Bob's this am :( cause I had to come into work early, but at least I got my run in. Depending on the weather when I get off work I am either mowing my african safari yard or(if it's raining) taking my son with me to train him in his first ever weight room workout...don't worry, I'll be nice ;)
