Over 300 calories and 52 carbs burned on the elliptical today. Life cereal for breakfast, looking like pb&j for lunch.

I Ran a 5k
Ok, well, really I walk/jogged a 5k with my sister.
What a Busy Month!
5th - I did my 600 calorie preset on my elliptical.
6th - I somehow missed...
7th - I walked 10 miles in 3 hours
8th- Nada
9th - 5k 40mins (Race for the Cure)
10th - Body weight circuit x 2 and Interval x 2.5 mins
11th - Interval x 4 mins @ resistance 6
12th - elliptical x 7mins.. just so I could say I did something
13th - walked for 2 hours on the beach
14th - Today? Oh geez.. I haven't done anything... yet... wahhh
What Does It All Mean?
Body weight circuit? I got from Nerd Fitness here.
20 squats
10 push ups
20 lunges
10 dumbbell rows with a gallon of milk
15 second plank
30 jumping jacks
Interval Training? I also got from Nerd Fitness.
This is based off of what is called Tabata training. I tweaked it a little. Steve from Nerd Fitness says that you should only do this if you are in pretty good shape already. This is why I only made it through 2.5 mins on the 10th. I was on resistance 10... So, how did I tweak it? I alternate 10 seconds "sprinting" 20 seconds slow slow pace "rest" for 4 minutes.
I Really Am Trying
I mean, I am not going to make any effort to squish something in tonight, but I'll just make up for it tomorrow. I have been driving all day and I'm exhausted. I do really need to work on my eating. I went on a three day vacation and ate sooo much crap... ughh! Side Note: I have put my scale away. I am working toward becoming fit not just skinny, so there is no goal weight. I am trying to focus on strength. How many times can I do a circuit? At what resistance can I make it 4 mins doing "Tabata"? These are my focus for now.
5k Addiction
Oh man! When I got home from the 5k I was a different person I was just rambling on and on to Daniel and he just stares at me and says, "Are you just happy?" And a stopped and thought for a second and my answer was yes. I was sooo happy! It was some kind of high! I have found that I love to do 5ks and now I want to improve! I want to finish faster next time. Shoot! I can't even believe I want there to be a next time, but I do. Know what else I've been craving to do? KAYAKING!! I loooove a kayak. Man I love it! I'm so happy to find physical hobbies that I enjoy. Now to just find a friend interested in these things so I have someone to do them with...
Until Next Time! Stay Beautiful! Stay Focused!
