Hello Everyone!
How was your weekend? What are your training goals for the week? How is your training going?
I went on a long hike Saturday with Tom and Chris and Shelly - fun. Hot. Ate pretty extravagantly all weekend.
Tom and I took all our measurements this morning, and figured out our lean body mass and how much fat we want to lose to get to our goal weights. I have 27 lbs of fat to lose to be at my goal and maintain my lean body mass and get to my ideal BF%. That is going to be achievable provided I continue exercising AND continue to address my food intake. Small changes though - I'm focusing on frequent small meals and I am well aware that alcohol doesn't do anything good for weightloss. So, this past weekend I ate off 2 days and I really felt the difference - mainly in my attitude. One free day is enough to throw me off track for the next day, and two days off makes it really hard to motivate. Plus going back to the gym this morning felt like I was starting completely over. So, one free day from now on.
On the other hand, I DID get up this morning and went to the gym and worked my back and chest and walked a mile on the treadmill and did some ab exercises. I also am working today, so that's some more physical exercise.
Lastly, I voraciously read the last Harry Potter book, so I'm sure I burned a bunch of glucose thinking so hard. :-)
WE DID IT! Now for a lifetime of health.

I didn't want to do ANYTHING on Friday. It was super hot and all I wanted was a cold beer. BUT, I made myself go swimming first. Took care of the heat factor AND I swam for 45 minutes. I still had the beer though, but I was going to have it regardless...so better AFTER some exercise. Saturday I went on a 1 1/2 hour hike. Not sure how many miles, but my guide was speedwalking through the forest so it was a pretty good workout trying to keep up.
Was pretty lazy yesterday so I need to get out there and run today. So West Cliff is my plan today. Gotta go!
Friday night I saw the new Adam Sandler movie. I like it and I encourage everyone here to see it. =o)
I went to the gym on Saturday and ran 2 miles and did an lower body session with my trainer. My legs were sore, so I had a really hard time going for more than 2 miles.
Sunday was a relatively lazy day. I did a lot of stretching though.
This week I'm going to try and integrate some cross-training activities. I want am going to the gym this afternoon to run 2.5 miles and do an upper body weight session.
I made a huge pot of lentil soup last night. I think it will last me the rest of the week. Yay for fiber.
