Beautiful weather!

Today was just gorgeous! I had a 3.5 hour drive to make today, but was able to get in my run training, and bowflex. Plus a nice 30+ minute bike ride.

Started Week 3 of C25K today. I had no problem doing the 3 minute jogs. Maybe I don’t give myself enough credit for all the work I have been doing to get into shape. Curious as to how far I could actually go, but I want to make sure I train properly.

Hard workouts

Did a bit too much exercise today. I did my back/legs workout on the bowflex, then did Cardio Overdrive (The Firm). That would have been plenty of exercise for the day, but we went biking this evening. I went a different way, and ended up having to go up one really big hill, then a smaller one at the end of the ride. Good timing….

Anyway, I was not thinking I could bike up the whole hill, but I did it! I was breathing quite hard at the top, but my recovery was quick – which pleases me a lot.
I imagine I will be retaining water due to the exercise for tomorrow’s weigh in. Oh well.

Tomorrow is weigh in day!

Hope it’s a good day tomorrow! Slow and steady wins the race. If I can clock in at 160 point something – then it will be 10 pounds in 8 weeks. That’s a pretty good loss rate for me. I know it wouldn’t make many other people happy, but I’ll take it!

Such beautiful weather here this week. Going bike riding again tonight.
