Update on the 5k Training

I found out today 5k training starts on May 11th. We may do a run sponsored by Panera in Marion sometime in June.

Today was a light day with a 46 minute tae bo workout this evening. I also have drank 1 pop today so far. Will have another this evening while watching tv. So, 2 for the day. My goal was to be at 2 per day by April 1st. I have not been doing too great, but tomorrow is April 1st so at 5 days a week I have to stick to only 2 day. No going back now. My new goal - 1 a day by May 1st. slow baby steps will get me free!


Forgot to add - still doing the vinegar thing. I did some research and taking after eating won't hurt. The whole idea is to just take it a few times a day. Doesn't matter what times. I think i took it twice yesterday and then twice today.

Woo-Hoo

I am mixing up my tae bo boot camp this week. Last week all I did was Amped. this week I have a few other tae bo workouts that I am mixing in . I didn't want to get bored of the amped series. Tonight I did a cardio circuit workout. I really like it because it works arms, legs then abs and then goes through that circuit again and ends with a total body. I know what is coming and how much more is left without watching the clock. LOL

It was fun. I am sweaty. I was breathing heavy. Total was 80 minutes of tae bo today.

Tomorrow will be a light day because I have to go to the laundromat in the morning, so I don't workout. Just a 50 minute evening workout.

I have discovered that my motivation is much stronger to work out in the evening than in the morning. Not sure why. Maybe it is because I hate mornings. However, I figure a short am workout will not kill me, so I do an am workout 4 days a week. Tuesday and Sunday are evening only.

I have finally scheduled 5k training, not sure if I shared. I am going to wait for my workout bud. Once she is up and at it again I will begin 5k training. That will be the morning workout. Evening will still be tae bo until I drop at least 20 pounds.

Oh, and forgot to take the apple cider vinegar pill again with supper. Took it after. Not sure if that will work or if I am missing the boat by not taking it before. I tried to find it out on Google, but alas, Google let me down. I promise tomorrow to try harder to take the pills on time. Cannot access something if I screw up the process.

Crap

As I have said before I suck at taking pills. I was going to start the apple cider thing today and totally forgot to take a pill before eating lunch. I took it now - about 2 hours later - LOL. I will remember later, I promise. Idon't have a lot of these apple cider vinegar pills, so when I go to the store on Thursday I am buying some actual apple cider vinegar. Then I get the joy of drinking it. Anywho, wanted to let you know I started this trial thing, sort of.

I did 30 minutes of tae bo this morning and have 50 minutes scheduled for tonight. I did 50 minutes of tae bo yesterday. So, on track at least for the exercising.

New Home Remedy for Weight Loss Idea

Okay, this is not really a new idea, but it is something new I am going to try. Apple Cider Vinegar. I remember when I was little my mom used to do this and she did lose weight. The whole idea is to drink a glass of water with 1 to 2 teaspoons of apple cider vinegar in it before each meal. I also happen to have pills, which I am going to start with. Simply, taking a pill seems much more pleasing to me than drinking that crap :)

Anyway, it seems to be something that people swear works, so I figure it will not hurt me to try it. I read that it should be done for 2 weeks on and then 2 weeks off, so I will start it tomorrow and then report in next Sunday and the following Sunday to tell you if it helped. If it did help then I will go off 2 weeks, report in and then start for another 2 weeks. We shall see if this is a big hoax or the real deal.

My Scale is Possessed

I swear my scale has gone crazy. One day I step on and have gained 6 lbs overnight. Then the next time I get on it says I lost 2lbs. Then again I step on and it says I weigh 4lbs more. Now I try it yet another day and it says I am down 4 lbs. What is the deal? I know weight changes throughout the day, so every time I weigh myself it is the same time of day. I think my scale is crap. I guess I will never really know exactly how much I weigh. A ballpark figure is about all I get. Dang stupid scale!

My Podcast is Up and Running

I just put up my first podcast on my other blog. Go check it out. It is less than 8 minutes and I have a soothing voice, some say sexy, so it is good listening. LOL

I added my other blog under my following list so y'all can get to it easy.

Guess How Many Calories I Burned?

Over 5000!!! Hard work and dedication can whittle away at the fat. I am tooting my own horn here. It was hard and it sucked and I am sore, but I did it. I have not burned this many calories since about November. Go me!

PS - I just noticed that I have already reached my Spark America goal for the year and am over by 1 hour. Tee-hee.
