Welcome One and ALL!!! Going to have to sign out I think to view the comment given for today...

But first... I shall finish the daily log:

Had my eight servings of water!! And wrapped up the evening with a bowl of Special K... Going to try to hit the sack before midnight, lets see how it goes.

Program Day 3 was good.. finally got smart and logged the actual minutes from a clock! (not from that damn bar on the screen that makes NO sense to me EvEr) Lol...

Completed 30 minutes today! Increasing, I am... Have a very detailed log of where I stopped for breaks and all of the extra rests... Need to try to keep my heart rate under control. (May need to invest in a monitor for the work outs)

Funny facts: Even the warm ups are getting tougher!!! AND I Love the stretching session between warm up and work out. It seems to be when I get the most sweating done.

3 days down... JuSt 57 more days to go!

Tuesday was a good day... Couldn't decide if I should go forward with the Insanity program or keep at the damn base line fitness test until I could get through it all...

Went for it! It is totally doing a number on me but that is a good thing. Hoping to see some good changes soon. The plan as of now is to incorporate my running after a week or two of Insanity. I want the cardio, the strength and the stress relief! Day #2 was tough but I got through 25 min. of it.

Got 4 water bottles in = about 8 servings!!! Finally! Maybe keeping hydrated will help me feel better for the work outs.

Diet was eh... had 1/2 a combo sandwich with 1/2 an order of fries for 1st meal @ about noon. And then 4 light topped tostadas with a small helping of spanish red rice in the evening @ about 7. Not a great meal plan but had some energy source and low fat for the day...

Today,(Wed) I have not worked out yet... but already have three water bottles down, first meal in the a.m. was cottage cheese and yogurt, snacked on trail mix late a.m., and had a banana with a glass of fat free milk and my vitamins... THiS day seems to be on track for a successful one.

Still trying to get more life lines involved with the blog... there seems to be plenty of people in my life that want to make change happen. Really wish they would join me in this endeavor; I just think that we would really be able to make a difference in one another's hurdle jumping. And keep it from overloading face book. Some people may not care to see a step by step journey of this nature everyday. Well, the invites are there... here's hoping to cross this finish line with many others!!! =)

Finally started the 'Insanity' workout program!!! 60 Days from today... I will have gotten MUCH closer to my goal! Only lasted 13 minutes and 21 seconds past the warm up but hey, a start is a start. Look on the bright side... There is a lot of room for improvement! Weighed in and took all the important measurements.

Took in 6 servings of water, started back on vitamins and ate sensibly. Breakfast burrito and skim chocolate milk and 2 hot dogs with a helping of buttered pasta. Okay... Maybe the diet for the day needs some work. :P

Funny how all kinds of things in LiFe just always seem to get in the way of making a change in your life for a healthier and stronger you. Gotta' admit, being that it's ThanksGiving week... ISN'T much help... and then, of course, the HoLiDaYs are among us.

NO excuses... if you've prepped and are stoked about what you are going to achieve in the next few months... do yourself a great big favor and carry on. Any movement forward is great progress!!!

I am still not up to par, but I AM VeRy aware of what I am or am not eating... There is a conscious effort to increase my water intake with sipping a water bottle throughout the day or sipping caffeine/sugar free teas... AND I have finally started to run a bit more. I'll get that Body-For-Life down before the end of this year along with the Insanity program and an agendaof runs for '2012'!

So.... I cannot complain. I WILL make change happen for a happier ME!

NoT a good week. Didn't even get to start my Insanity/Body-For-Life/Get out n' Run More program!!! Have a call into my TnT coach/trainer to get some information about my feet still feeling Bruised and swollen after the Marathon on 10/09. :/

Had a good day or two last week b4 my Hot Chocolate 5K run diet wise and then it's been all over the place. Finding it real hard to take in the appropriate water day in day out and just don't feel motivated. I'm guessing that I just wish that there was more of a following/sharing on the blog to make me more accountable.

Gotta' get over it!!! Scored a descent 5K time considering that I am NOT getting out much more than twice a week to run, if I'm lucky. (28 min for 3.25 miles) Eh'... I can't say that I mind that final outcome thus far. It's really hard to start getting faster on short runs when you have been training for half a year to pace slower to last on longer runs.... o_O Lol...

Ok... screw this start Monday thing!!! Tomorrow is Wednesday and I want to get out for a 30 min jog AnD get my first insanity training logged in! Really need to stick to the small balanced meals and kick more veggies into the menu! Water, water, water!!! Early day means early night tonight! Make it happen, I must.

This can be the "Pre-Program" test run.... Hummm, Let's see how this turns out.
