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 . . .

Todays workout conisted of 1.5 hrs of leotards, tights, and slippers! Back at Ballet. It was nice to see everyone again. I realized I have a lot of work to do as I bend less, stretch less and see more in the creases in the leo.

Today's workout: 20 min sprint session on treadmill

Minutes 1-4 5.0
Minute 5 - 6.0
One minute 5.0
One minute 5.5
Repeat
One Minute 6.0

Repeated sequence until 20 min

Distance: 1.75

Behind on water drinkage so far - Uppitie up from here though!

I would like to focus on my favorite meal of the day - today's favorite meal is going to be dinner. I premixed 2 cans drained black beans, navy beans, and Kidney beans, 1 pkg italian seasoning, diced one whole onion, one whole green pepper

To be served on a whole wheat tortilla with green lettuce and cherry tomatoes

Today's run ROCKED!! 20 min sprint session on my trusty treadmill - 1.9 miles ran! That is a personal record for a sprint session for me.

Eating is going well - everything staying on tract.
Me and the throne are tight as my water intake is consistant. It makes it hard by the end of my workouts however.

Getting the running bug again - may try to do Zeitgeist after this competition - We will see how my distance running game goes.

Starting to think about Robie in April - wondering if I've got it in me. (And the time to train)

I love my two mile run. Got farther today than yesterday. I felt stronger but the sprint sessions are always a doozie. I got a honk from two teenage kids driving by so I must be doing something right, ha! ha!
