Ok, so I've hit a small bump in the road with my running...long story short, it started with a little health scare and my laziness took over. That, combined with a serious battle with depression this past weekend has put me behind schedule in my pre-race training. However, I will not give up.
In the meantime, I've accepted the challenge of the Body-for-LIFE program, after reading Body-for-LIFE for Women by Dr. Pamela Peeke. I took my before pictures and began the program on April 5, 2010.
I wont post before pictures until I've achieved "after" success...because otherwise it's just too embarrassing!! But here's a basic description - extremely pasty, bad hair and skin day, completely un-toned, flabby body...ick!! I'm hoping the program works!! I want a sexy after photo!!
I'm eating lots of "whole" foods - fruits and veggies mostly with lots of lean protein. I'm working out 6 days a week, which includes 3 days of strength and 3 days of running (with an added run on Sundays because I need to get my run on again! This, for a total of 4 days of running.) So far, so good. I am refusing to step on the scale more than once a week...
My goals? Remove 40lbs of fat! Gain muscle strength and tone! Develop better eating and exercise habits. Maintain successes...
The prize? If I win the BFL challenge, I win $10,000. If I were a "Grand Master" winner...that would be $25k. WOWSER...I want to win!!
Today I'm sore but not sore enough...will push harder on the next workout.
