Flirting with a pound. You know. When you see it flit across the screen of your bathroom scale. And the next day you are up two pounds. Even though you exercised like a fiend and ate clean (except for that ounce of potato chips) and skipped dinner. Piffle. Oh well. Over all down a pound over the course of a week. Thats ok.
Yesterday I did RS (no risers yet.) and I had to adjust my weight on my hrm and discovered that I was not burning as many calories as I used to because my body weight is down. Bummer. Still. Thats ok. I like realism and realism is what I got. About 700 calories on RS and at least two bottles of water which explains why my clothing is soaked and I am (as always) the human sprinkler sending drops of water flying around my step.
I've been enjoying my spinach and chicken salads lately with a little bit of almond slices and a tablespoon of cheese. I need to watch it with the chocolate chips (they are for cooking I swear.) With my latest installment of Cathe dvds I have no excuse and I don't even want to eat dirty (if you will) which is good. I'm going to take advantage of my good mood and head into a weight loss challenge this week. Strict adherence to my dietary goals and movement goals too (adding the yoga/stretch in the evening even when I'm tired.) Planning, preparing and the daily check-in with myself to stay on track is the order for the week. My goal is to lose 6 pounds by the end of the year. That would bring me to a 30 pound loss for the year and I would be really happy with that.
I got as an early x-mas present: C&W, Low Max, Cardio Hits, and LIC. I also need some dumbells and ankle/wrist weights. I'm going to wait for the barbell till my birthday in March
Rotation for the coming week:
M Run (2 min jog, 30 sec walk.) about 60 min total
T Low Max (first time ever, lets see how I do.)
W Jump rope, core max, stretch max
T C&W (first time too, I may need to buy some weights)
F 3 mile run
Sa RS
I want to try cardio coach with my runs. It seems like a cool idea. And I have great hills to use.
How are the rest of you? I hope you are still out here and not lost in cyber land.
