Not sure why but I ~~forgot to~~ (got LAZY) post for the last month.(BLOG SLACKER) I now have plenty to write about though!

WOW! I have learned a lot in the last few weeks! Let me just tell you if you are thinking you are eating enough food to sustain your body, I BET YOU ARE NOT! Now I am not saying I know all, but here is what has really helped me out.

Eating to lose weight...EAT ENOUGH

I was only consuming 1200-1300 calories a day! I was eating what Myfitnesspal was telling me. I WAS STARVING MY BODY! I WAS NOT FEEDING IT ENOUGH TO JUST MAINTAIN IT'S SELF FOR THE DAY! I now eat 1425 calories a day and drink 80-90oz of water a day. I AM STILL LOSING WEIGHT AND INCHES!

I am not going to go in to all of it here and now, but if you need help figuring out what amount you should be eating and/or understanding this concept I will gladly help you!

Fitness Friday!!!

Okay, OKAY, OKAY!

As :(you all know this week was the first week of half training for me. I have done most of my workouts this week (I have a sick little at home so I have had to go after the hubby got home ant night.) I did miss yesterday due to sick little and a visit to the doctor's office.

Here are my workouts in photos!

MONDAY

It was in the 70s here in Kansas on Monday so I ran in shorts!

TUESDAY

I went to the Y and did the ARC Trainer during the day and then went to water zumba that night.

WEDNESDAY'S

So it was cold outside ~~I was a wimp~~ so I went to the Y to run on the hamster wheel and the never ending circle of doom! Can you tell I do not like to run inside anymore?
This was the first time I had worn my Garmin Heart Rate Monitor to do an indoor workout. The treadmill I was on was off on the HR when I compared it. I will be wearing it from now on.

THURSDAY

No workout! Whomp, whomp ! :(

I will be running today, in the cold.

Motovational Monday.......

Today is THE DAY! I am starting training for my 1st HALF MARATHON. I am registered for this race!

Here is what my 1st week of training looks like.

MON	TUE	WED	THU	FRI	SAT
28 Run 45 mins	29 Strength training ARC 45min water zmba	30 Run 45 mins	31 Abs/ cardio water tabata	1 Run 40 mins	2 Run-Endurance 6miles water tabata

I always concentrate on my distance rather than my time, I think going off of time rather than distance will help me with my pace in the long run.

I am also adjusting my diet so I can get the most out of my body. I spent time the other day googling the subject. I found a lot of information but none that really spelled it all out like a training plan does for running.

Here is my Monday weigh in pic.

0.69% weight loss from last week

Total miles logged in January to date: 35.16
