The week so far…
For the record, I’m on Day 82 of the P90X2 90-Day Challenge!!!
Sunday – Ab Ripper (alternating the original P90X Ab Ripper with X2 Ab Ripper), Recovery and Mobility (loving the foam roller!)
Monday – PAP Upper, X2 Ab Ripper and a doctor’s appointment to confirm no stress fracture!!
Tuesday – PAP Lower, Ab Ripper, back to running…6 miles!
Wednesday – Yoga
Thursday – Recovery and Mobility, X2 Ab Ripper, 5 miles 
Coming up to finish the week…
Friday – this morning’s workout before work will be PAP Lower and Ab Ripper, after work 5 miles
Saturday - the plan is PAP Upper, X2 Ab Ripper
Starting next week with…
Sunday – Running the Ohio River Road Runners Club Marathon and Half Marathon with Chad. No plans or thoughts for a PR for this one. Running for the joy of it. I’m hoping for more beautiful weather
On the menu…
Continuing with what I’m no longer referring to as a vegetarian challenge but a lifestyle change that I’m pretty sure is here to stay.
First, I was shocked when Chad suggested that he try replacing a meal with juicing 3-4 times this week. I love the fact that it was his idea! For the sake of ease we decided dinner would be the juiced meal. Then I suggested (because I just can’t help myself) that he let me make his lunch this week. Knowing it would be meatless he agreed! It’s going well. In fact Chad commented on how much he likes having the juice for dinner.
Recipes…
For What I Ate Wednesday I included a few new recipes that I will be making again. Recipes I’m going to try are Southwest Stuffed Spaghetti Squash and California Veggie Sandwich.
And my current new-favorite salad, Martha Stewart’s Mediterranean Chopped Salad.
Can I say just one more time how happy I am to NOT have a stress fracture and to be running again Chad thought I needed a new running-photo pose after my 6-mile run. What do you think?
How was your week? What are your plans for this weekend? What are your on-the-menu favorites from this week?

My daughter has been sick, so I haven’t done much this week. I did manage to do a long run yesterday, which was nice! We have a busy weekend filled with dentist & eye doc appointments and a birthday party which I am hosting on Sunday. I hope to get in a couple of easy runs.
The chopped salad and california veggie sandwich sound delicious.
Enjoy your weekend!

That salad looks great, I’ve been on a salad kick lately so I might have to give it a try. Glad the run was good and you are back
Jen recently posted..How I know I am a runner
Thanks Jen. I’m on a salad and sandwich kick lately. I think it’s the hot weather we’ve had.
Have a great weekend!

how exciting to try to stay vegetarian. I think about it…my 20 year old niece has been one since she was 11! the salad looks delish! I cannot believe you are on day 82 of P90x! WOW, can you tell a difference?
Susie My SoCal Life recently posted..Fitness Friday ♥
Hi Susie. Yes I can tell a difference but not as much as when I did the original P90X 90 challenge. I’ve loved X2. I will continue beyond the 90 days but not at the same level of intensity. My focus now is pace. I want a half PR! I’m sure I will do the 90 day challenge again some time this year.

Good luck on Sunday! This weekend I have the Big Climb. Yikes! It always kills me but should only take under 15 minutes. I can handle 15 minutes of torture for a good cause:) Have a great weekend!

15 minutes of torture but think about how fabulous you will feel after. Good luck!

I love your running photo pose. Your arms look buff! I bet you are super stoked to be running again! Have fun at your race! It will be a good chance to just go with it and not worry about results. Just think of it as a fun run!
Kyria recently posted..Race You to The Finish!
Thanks Kyria! It feels so good to be running again! Just going with it is my goal. It’s an approach that is not in my nature but I’m going to try. I think at this point I really NEED to do this.
Have a great weekend!

What a great week for you Jill! I like the post-run picture. You are killing the P90X challenge!

Thanks Suzanne! This week has felt exceptionally great
Great job on P90X2!!
I love that your husband has been doing some of the things that you are incorporating into your lifestyle! Everything you are eating looks so yummy!

Thanks Jamie. Chad always goes along with whatever but this time he is talking about it, feeling a difference and really getting what I’ve been talking about for the last few years.
Have a great weekend!

I’m so glad you got good running news this week! And I love that Chad is participating in the vegetarian challenge with you. My husband does too (at least the meals I’m making, like dinner) and it makes it so much easier that way!
Laura recently posted..Nathan handhelds review and giveaway
Thanks Laura. So much easier and he is actually seeing a difference and feeling what I’ve been talking about!

wow – you are rocking the P90X – I admire your dedication! I don’t know if I could sell my husband on a regular no meat meal. He’s such a meat and potatos guy. Somehow I would have to make him think it’s his idea!
You’ve had a great week working out! Good luck in the half!
Kathy recently posted..Five for Friday
Thank you Kathy. Chad is good about going along with whatever but this time he’s actually liking it and feeling the benefits!
Have a great weekend!

jillconyers recently posted..Fitness Friday || Workouts. Running. On the Menu.
I linked up for the first time today! I found your blog by searching Fitness Friday Link ups….love what I have read so far. I’m starting a juice fast in a couple weeks…do you have any good recipes?
Andrea Merrigan recently posted..Fitness Friday 3.23.12
Hi Andrea and welcome to FF! I haven’t done a total juice fast yet but want to. I have a few favorites if you want more but my favorite go to juice right now is 2 c fresh spinach, 1/2 bunch kale, 1 pear, 1 apple, 1 celery stalk, 1 cucumber. If you want a sweeter juice try a cup of pineapple instead of the pear or for a less sweet try 1/2 c blueberries instead of the pear.
Keep in touch. I’d love to hear more about your fast.
