Haven't quite hit my stride yet, but...

In approximately 21 days I need to run 6 miles and so far I'm tiring out at 1.25 miles. I seem to can't break down the wall and I loose steam and just end up walking.

This week my goal is 2 miles. My plan to attain that goal is to run at least 3 times this week and work on my pace.  I need to really get my pace started and regulated and then I'll be fine. My playlist needs a tune up as well.

I'm not worried, I KNOW I CAN DO IT!

In the meantime, I haven't been doing too much weight training but have that scheduled as well.

As far as food, I have to admit, I've been eating quite a bit of pasta and rice but not much junk food, just lots of grains. So I'm not doing too bad. I plan to update with a new photo next week.

Set your DVRs...The Biggest Loser returns Oct. 8th

Hi my name is Cabluebunny and I am Reality TV Show-aholic... The one show I am excited to see is The Biggest Loser.

I am looking forward to this show. I love everything about it. The trainers, the transformations, the back story, the competition...Yay!!

We fall down, but get back up!

I have to admit this weekend I fell off the wagon...actually I jumped off to the tune of a pizza, pasta and cheeseburgers.  But that is the past and I'm back aboard!... besides a cheat day now and then is fine!

This weekend, I did Lower body at the gym:

Elliptical 10 minutes

Leg Press

Hack Squats

Plie Squats

Smith Machine Lunges

Stiff legged dead lifts

(all 3 sets and increase of 5-10lbs per exercise)

Today, I did my short run 1.25 miles in 10 minutes outside.  I'm proud of myself.  Tomorrow I will run 2 miles outside, take a break all week and pick up with a long run on Friday of 4 miles.  I may do a full body work out with weights on Wednesday.  I don't really work out my upper body that much because if I lift a barbell my arms turn into Arnold Schwarzenegger really quick!

Let's Get Physical

Isn't it fun when you listen to a song as an adult that you heard as a child and realize the content was.... ahem... not at all what you thought.

I have had that experience, where I hear a song, that I haven't heard in years and I'm like "saayyy... that is a bad bad song...lol"

There is the obvious, Physical by Oliva Newton John .  This was out when I was about 10..I truly thought they were talking about exercise. I realized later in life, of course that was not the case. I only thought of this first because I was singing it this morning in the shower thinking about my work out at the gym.

Then there is: She Bob by Cyndi Lauper, Dancing with myself by Billy Idol. I just found out about that one...duh. LOL. Love come down by Evelyn Champagne King.  And who can forget, Donna Summer's (my twin, so people say... the young Donna Summer, not the old one) Bad Girls.  While it is spelled out in the title, at age 8, who knew it was about street walkers...lol.

I just keep thinking, wow, my mother let me run around and sing all these songs? Ha ha, just joking mom.  Toot Toot..heeyy...beep beep.

Sorry to deviate from fitness and food, but there are other things in life too ;)

30 days to my 10K and 2nd day of workout

I only had a short amount of time this morning to work out so here is what I did:

Warm up: Elliptical 8 min
Leg Press: 3 sets with 35lbs plates x 2
Plie squats: 3 sets with 25lb plate
Smith Squat lunges: 3 sets with 25lb plates x 2
alternate with regular squat 3 sets each with 25lb plates x 2
Stiff legged deadlift: with 60 lb bar

Not sure what I will do tomorrow, I may just do the elliptical for 30 minutes. I ran yesterday and did weights today so not going to do either tomorrow.

My first day back working out!

I ran 1.25 miles today on the treadmill.  For my first day back, I probably did more than I should have considering I haven't worked out in months and months, but that's okay.  I have my 10K in 30 days, so I am happy to get started. I felt great running too, it was a great stress relief. I think I'll hit the gym tomorrow with the following start up routine:

Warm up: 15 min elliptical

Leg Press: 3 sets

Hack Squat: 3 sets

Smith Machine Squat: 3 sets

Bosu ball alternate lounges: 3 sets

Watch me go!
