Ok so the last time I blogged I said I would be doing my mini "cleanse." I have stuck to it for the most part! lol. Minus the two bites of cereal yesterday and the two bites of taco today (both my husbands) lol. I thought I'd miss eating meat but actually I miss eating cereal and peanut butter & jelly sandwiches. lol
Its been a great week! I've managed to make it to the gym every single day except Tuesday. I'm still thinking about going today...probably won't lol.
I feel like in order to keep myself motivated I have to keep meeting new goals. My ultimate goal is to do a triathlon this summer. More specifically, I want to do an Olympic triathlon. It's shorter then a regular triathlon. It consists of a 1.5K (.9 miles), 40K (24 miles) bike ride and a 10K ( 6.2 miles) run. Swimming is in the bag for me. I can swim .9 miles easily lol. I'm going to begin training on the running this coming week. I found an awesome training schedule in which I can work up to about 5 miles. The first run starts at 2 miles it increases my about half a mile weekly. For beginners like me, its to be done at an easy pace to where I can easily recite the Pledge of Allegiance. Then as time goes on it begins to increase the speed time to help the body adjust to an increased lactic acid threshold. I'm pretty nervous about it, but if I don't get it started now I might chicken out all together. lol. I'm was hoping to start on Monday but because I do my regular scheduled workouts on that day I'm probably going to have to move it to Tuesday. lol. Yet another retraction...lol I guess I'll have to start working out on Tuesdays...
Well we'll see what happens. lol. As always I'll keep you all updated! One more day of veggies, lentils, and fruit...I cant wait until its over! Happy Workouts!!
