Week of 1/14/2012 - 1/20/2012
Swimming - 2
Biking - 0
Running - 3
Strength Training - 1
Weekly Weight loss - 4 lbs
Total weight loss - 31.5
I still have a left over cough from the cold but I was able to get to the gym all 6 days that I had scheduled. Based on my summary I need to work on a few things, especially biking and strength training. I did my longest run today, 55 minutes. I was able to run the entire time at 5 mph or higher. I want to work on increasing my speed on the shorter runs as my end goal is to run 6 mp for long distances / times.
I added another event to my calendar. Lifetime Fitness is doing an indoor triathlon. The event will be how far you go within the below times.
• 10-minute swim in the lap pool (laps are tracked by volunteers)
• 30-minute cycle in the cycle studio (distance measured by computer)
• 20-minute run on a treadmill (distance measured by treadmill)
Clearly a short event but something fun to do and get me in the competitive mood.
I had a great weight loss week, largely because I finally got on track with my diet 100% and we have not have not done a splurge meal the past 2 weeks. I'm 11 lbs away from my weigh loss goal, which is not my original goal, which would be another 10 lbs but I thought that weight might be unrealistic. I'll see how I do getting to my current goal and take it from there.
I hope that everyone continues to have the success I'm experiencing. Carrying around 31.5 lbs less has made a huge difference in my life and another 11 lbs will make it even better. My body is starting to feel normal again and I can say that I am truly enjoying life. My workouts seem to be getting easier and I attribute that to the weight loss.
