BOOYA!!!!

Oops. Was supposed to start posting my workouts and meals again this week. Yesterday was UB and my bi’s/tri’s/chest/shoulers/back are hurtin’ today, so that’s all good.

What I’m really excited about is this morning’s HIIT workout. I pushed myself like never before. I loved the endorphin rush. Why can’t I get that same feeling with weight training????

Treadmill HIIT:

Warm up – 2 minutes
Alternating Hi/Low at 30 seconds/60 seconds
High: 9.5 to 11.0 mph (UH-HUH!)
Low: 5.0 to 5.5 mph (I usually recover at a fast walk, never a jog like today. Woooohooo!)
Cool down.
Total time: 26 minutes
Mileage at 20 minutes: 2.22 (still a long way to go to hit 3 miles in 20, but any forward movement makes me happy).

My morning definitely started out on the right foot… until I walked out dripping in sweat with a big grin on my face and reached into my pocket for my keys. Oops. They were still in the ignition. I guess I just couldn’t wait to do HIIT this morning and locked my keys in my car. Thankfully I caught my husband before he left for the gym so I only lost about 20 minutes from my day.

Yesterday I bought some index cards and I’m writing down every morsel of food I put in my mouth. I’ve started tracking food at fitday again, but I might not be as honest with myself as I need to be. Doesn’t make sense to be dishonest with myself, but it’s possible that I don’t track as carefully as I should and perhaps that’s why I’ve lost fat so slowly in the past. Maybe calories are slipping by that I somehow ‘let’ slip my mind. I play weird games on myself sometimes, so it is possible.

I definitely need to get myself a food scale. I hate the thought of weighing and measuring everything so carefully, but if that’s what it takes, I’ll do it.

Hope you all are having/had a FABULOUS Tuesday. My mojo is back in full swing baaaaay-by!
