so new fitness challenge with the new year! I have spoken with a trainer and decided to do it on my own. It will use this site as my food journal. I know, boring - but necessary. Start weight: 125 and 33 lbs of fat YIKES!! This time the prize is a highly desired spa package. The official start date is January 11th. I am getting a head start. Here we go!!

Alrighty!!! This is week three! I fell of the wagon yesterday with no workout - no time - and one meal that was off schedule. I didn't write a journal entry either. BUT . . . . Here is how I have gotten back ON the wagon! Today I ran 1.73 on "Trusty Treadmill" 20 minute sprint session of course! I didn't push it as hard or as fast as some days previously, but it still got my heart rate up and I was a sweatn. It got in 3 liters of water and had all meals as needed.

I want to be consistent with the weight loss. On Sunday I weighed in at 128!!!! I'm a looser!!!! I hope I can still be a looser this week :)

Well the weekend is almost here. I'm docking points from yesterday because I did not make a journal entry. I did maintain all other commitments however.

Yesterday's workout was a 20 min sprint session on the treadmill

Total distance 1.83mi

I've got to say that is my fav. cardio routine because of the short duration, and tons of calories burned. Anytime there is interval training done, say a big fat c-ya to fat! I can use that. Just about to go for a run. Todays plan is to lengthen the run to an outside 3 or 4 miler. I will do 1 min sprint every 10 min. The days are getting cooler. For some reason that pushes me - maybe because I smolter in the heat. Ideal temp to run in for me is the 40's and 50's. I am looking forward to a day off tomorrow - I love to plan my treat - Still no decision made yet . . .
