Happy Spring Break

I just wanted to check in here again and let you know I'm still alive and I'm still kicking ass and taking names (in case you were wondering).

My weight has continued to bounce around... this is why I typically try to weigh no more than twice a week but the 180s are just so close I can't help myself.

Eating has continued to be on plan. I've worked out the past 4 out of 5 days... which is UNHEARD of for me. Yesterday I was debating on taking a rest day or not and I'm glad I didn't. My calves/shins are sore. I felt like there was a twinge of shin splint in my right leg -- I'll admit C25K was INCREDIBLY hard for me on Saturday morning -- so at the suggestion of my fitness gurus I did the elliptical instead of running yesterday.

Let me tell you -- I will take running on the treadmill ANY day over the elliptical. It's my arch nemesis and it made me it's bitch yesterday. My thighs were on FIRE. I only did 15 minutes on it yesterday which came out to be 1 mile. That was enough and I kept telling myself... Just get to one mile, just get to one mile... okay one mile or 15 minutes, whichever comes first. Of course the girl that looked to be my age had been on it for over 30 minutes... as well as the OLD guy beside me. It was the better choice yesterday as my shins didn't hurt and it's low impact comparatively, but to those of you that are elliptical gods and goddesses I salute you because you're all fucking crazy!

I then finished up with 20 minutes on the bike... I love that thing. Especially when you put it on a fitness course so you have resistance like you're actually biking up hill etc. It was a lot harder after doing the elliptical.

So today... I am going for day 5 of 6 at the gym. If things go as planned and I go out of town I won't be working Friday or Saturday. Sunday may or may not happens so I'm pushing myself to work out through Thursday.

I am SORE...and it feels good!

So... I'm off to take a shower (yes I know, I'm a weirdo like that) and head to the gym (to come home and take another shower). Then I'll be doing some chores around here -- my room looks like one of the 8 tornadoes that passed through the state specifically hit my room due to travelling.... and then enjoying my day off.

Hope you all are well and staying on track!
