Yuck - cold still..

Well here it is the end of March and we are still getting tons of snow – people are getting pretty depressed. Normally I’m thinking about going camping, cleaning out the yard, watching the grass turn green… not this year.

Tonight after work I start my first learn to run clinic - outside - I hope the sidewalks are clean of snow as I don’t want to break anything on my first outdoor jogging session. I don’t even know what to wear – too much and I’ll get to hot, not enough and I’ll get chilled… layers... that’s what I’ve got in the bag, I just hope they are the right layers. I am looking forward to it though; I bet the weight will come off a bit faster.

So this past weekend was the weigh-in, measure and dreadful picture taking weekend. In a month, I’ve lost little over 4 lbs (I am disappointed it wasn’t more), but I did lose quite a few inches in my waist and stomach area – I think it is about 4 inches between the two. I don’t have my results here at work with me. I’m good with the 4 inches, and I figure I’ve gained muscle so less noticeable scale difference. I think the Turbo Jam sessions are what is whittling my waist down. That workout really works the core.

I got up this morning and did my normal 4:00 a.m., workout but it really wasn’t worth much. My HR was at its highest at 134 and averaged at 107 – can you tell I hardly put any effort into it? I don’t know why, but I was just tired this morning and I had more sleep than I normally would – maybe that is why, I actually got 8 hours of sleep AND I knew I was doing the LTR clinic after work.

I do notice though that my 4 a.m. workouts compared to the ones later in the morning or day are not as good because it must take me a couple of hours to get the motivation juices flowing through the body. And I'm still in fast mode. My Saturday 9:00 a.m. workouts are much better but I have gotten into the habit of waking up early during the week to exercise or else it might not get done…

So my goals for this week are to:
· NOT get on the scale (decided I’m too addicted and it sways my attitude during the day).
· Give my best at the 3xLTR sessions
· Workout at home in the a.m., 4 mornings (Friday will be my day off)
· Eat clean all week except Thursday night when we go out for beers (hence why Friday is day off).
· Have a good attitude.

Hope everyone else has a fantastic week!
