Wanna See.....

Whats in MY kitchen???

Well as you all know I preach about the food being just as important as the workouts, so I decided to let you see whats in my cupboards and refrigerator....enjoy

When to rest......

Do you know when to rest?

Yesterday and today I woke up so tired and had no energy so I took these days off from my workouts. Sometimes if you are training really hard you risk the possibility of overtraining. If you start to feel really worn out even when you aren't working out you need a day off. Training when you are worn out will lead to injuries. It doesnt help your progress to continue to train if you need a day to rest.

Training For Fat Loss

Training for Fat Loss

I am currently training for a sprint triathalon, the danskin. It is 1/3mile swim, 15mile bike, and 3.1 mile run. My main goal is to finish, buuuuut....... I really want to lose more bodyfat. I was sick of just having the "lose bodyfat" goal. I got bored, so I signed myself up for something that was TOTALLY out of my comfort zone!

I dont know how to swim very good. So I took a few lessons and now I am practicing at least 3x a week. I hate to jog...booooooooooooring!!!!!! But I have been jogging at least 4x a week. I do love to ride bikes! woohooo!

To keep my strength and definition I am doing weight training at least 3x a week.

This training schedule is not something I would recommend to someone who want to lose some bodyfat. I am not saying this is what you have to do. As a matter of you should do MUCH less than this! Just to let you in on my workouts this summer I will post them here.
