Happy Monday everyone! I have had a pretty productive day so far. I woke up at 5:20 a.m. and my friend Katie and I were out the door for out 1.62 mile run before 5:50. We went slow and steady because this is her first time running in a really long time. She did awesome though, and we made it home in pretty decent time.
Then I made some Proatmeal with almond milk for my 7 a.m. breakfast and made my sevenpoint2 shake with greens, coconut milk and peanut butter and took it with me for my 9 a.m. meal at work. My mid-morning snack was 2 cups of strawberries, nummy! For lunch I had a hot pastrami sandwich on a 4 inch wheat bread with red onions and spicy mustard paired with 100 calories worth of cashews. My afternoon snack was 2 vegetable and brown rice stuffed grape leaves and 12 ozs. of pure coconut water. I finished my calorie intake for the day with white meat chicken and 3 ozs. of beef, lettuce and yogurt. I have also already consumed my 8 glasses of water for the day but will probably get another 2 or 3 in by days end.
This is my day one of INSANITY. I do my fit test tonight at 8:30. I am excited but also nervous. I know I can do it. I am very strong willed, dedicated and motivated to make this change in my life. My friend Katie and my Husband will be joining me for my Insanity Workouts so that we can support each other. I can't wait to see the changes in them and in myself!
Thanks for stopping by and checking on me, I love the support and accountability that followers to my blog provide me ;)
TTFN!

Ok, so I just want to apologize for neglecting my blog for the last few weeks. I am sorry. I have been super busy.... I got a new job, went on vacation and even met my 5k goal! Yay, I am so proud of myself and all the work that I have done. My time for my 5k wasn't amazing, nut it was respectable for my first real 5k and I averaged 11:36 seconds per mile. I am very happy with the results.
I am the smallest I have been in years. I am officially in a size medium, both top and bottom and I lost an entire shoe size! I have more energy than I can remember having in a very, very long time and I am so excited to actually WANT to exercise. So, you may be wondering what the next step for me is, well I am gonna keep going. I am about 25 - 30 pounds from my final goal weight. I have lost roughly 60 pounds since January and there is no way that I am going to stop now!
Today is my day 1 of week 1 in a new 10 week system. For this leg of my exercise journey I have enlisted my friend Katie as my running partner. She was motivated by my success and had started her own weight loss journey and asked if I would let her partner with me. I was so happy to have her! So, this second part of my exercise journey will be a lot less complex than the last segment, but it will not be easier.
I will be doing a 10k training program that will require me to do varying length runs 4 days a week. The last part of my system will be doing the INSANITY work out. This is 6 days a week and is gonna kick my trash. But I am serious about wanting to get rid of the last 30 pounds and why shouldn't I get totally ripped at the same time? So here I go again, heading straight into another grueling training system. Why do I keep doing this to myself? Oh yeah, because I Am Worth It!!!!
TTFN,
