I've been working out I swear!!!! It's just been harder to write out since I'm doing much more combination of thiings.

I think I only ran ran 2 miles last week...I did the elliptical , DVD's, and workouts with my trainer instead. And so...I'm rounding out the year of 2010 at 662 miles. Not to shabby if I do say so myself! Now I have a frame of reference to make some goals for myself next year. However, I don't know if I'm going to do more miles next year because I'm focusing more on weight training and other types of workouts and only plan on training for one half marathon. However, I got a GARMIN FORERUNNER for Christmas and I CANNOT wait to use it! This will help me keep a much more accurate count of my miles and my progress. So, with this new handy device, it just might motivate me to run more than ever!!! We shall see what happens, hello 2011!

Miles Run Last Week: 2
Total Miles Run for 2010: 662

Today:
Did abs and legs after a 3 mile intense interval run. Warmed up for one mile at 6-6.3 mph. Then for the next 20 minutes or two miles, alternated between running 8-8.5mph for one minute and walking at 3.8-4.1 for 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. I know interval training is the best way to burn fat fast so I'm trying to really focus on interval running this week.

I did a Gillian Michaels 50 minutes metabolism blast DVD last night! I can't tell you the last time I've worked out AFTER work! It was great...though I was starrrrrving by the end of it.

For dinner I had 2 pickles, 1 boca burger and half a cup of butternut squash risotto. Today is the third day I've been keeping track of my weight watchers points. I'm feeling a new sense of motivation lately and I hope I can keep up with tracking my points throughout the day. Hopefully this lasts longer than my small 3 days tweetwhatyoueat obsession.

This morning I had my small group training session from 7:30-8:30 and this one really kicked my butt today..well...really, kicked my arms. My arms were screaaaaming by the end, but I loved it!

Hoping to squeeze in some cardio tomorrow for a total 5 days of working out this week. Then, doing some light dvd work over the weekend.
