All right so I have 40 days until my wedding. It is go time like never before! My plan is to:
1. Drink lots of water everyday 80-100 oz a day
2. Workout at least 5-6 days a week - Burning at least 400-500 calories a workout 
3. Eat a healthy as possible
4. Stick to a low sodium diet
5. Stay away from alcohol except for the bachelorette party
6. Be consistent and stay with in my calorie limits (according to Making the Cut)
I feel like if I stick to this plan I should be looking and feeling my best on my wedding day. For my workouts I am doing the Making The Cut workout again and I am also doing 20 minutes of cardio at the end of each workout for a total workout time of 50min-60min a day. With 30-40 minutes of strength training and 20-30 minutes of cardio I am burning an average of 400 calories a workout. Which if one pound of fat = 3500 calories I am easily burning that amount in 1 week. I would like to loose 2 pounds a week so 8 pounds in one month then I will be at my goal weight for the wedding! It is going to take a lot of hard work and discipline but I know if I put my mind to it - I can do it!
I will keep you all posted, as I get closer to the date! Wish me luck!
Hello all! Last week I was going to write this great post about running in the blistering cold in NY, and then about the fact that I ended up dancing at a subway station in BK at 1am just to keep warm, but I have had no internet for the past week, so I was unable.
Did you know that it is officially HIP to live in Portland?!? I was at my favorite drinks for cheap bar last night and met this skateboarder that let me hold onto his skateboard for half the night, and told me of his dreams of moving to Portland in the next year.
I ran yesterday twice around the reservoir in the park, and have to say that it is probably my FAVORITE run in the city in the evening. Soft ground, water all around, and amazing views of the city. Anyways, when you all come to visit we will have to run it!
Hi Kids,
It’s the loveable (and currently slightly disgruntled) T-Mac. Well, I might as well jump in with my workout results for the weekend. Friday, Kitri and I hit the gym. I ran approximately 2 miles and finished with some lifting. The same can be said for Saturday. Although, my run was slightly interrupted by Andy Oldenburg, who told me the Irish nearly lost to Navy…again. The happy couple is hopefully off to Bally’s (or the BTF as I call it) to run and watch Brady Quinn carve up the Bills. Let’s hope a) Brady becomes the second comming of Joe Montana AND b) I make it the full 30 minutes without wanting to quit. Will I do it…stay tuned.
Hello Team- I am happy to report my toe is feeling much better! I took Friday off because of my toe. Saturday I ran for 27 minutes 3 minutes running at 5.5 and 2 minutes recovery at 3.5, I also took Sunday off. I plan on going to the gym today so I will keep you all posted on how that goes. Hope everyone had a good weekend!
am a little disappointed to see that no one has writen this weekend. But no worries, since I am three hours ahead of everyone else, I will start us off. I took Saturday off and watched the following movie instead for motivation . . .
Click on the link for the trailer, it was pretty funny. Anyways, Yesterday I ran outside for a quick 1.5 mile run for 10 minuets, then back to the gym where I did the Precore for 25 minutes, and then arms, sholders, and back.
I thought it might be fun for us to all share our favorite music/artists/bands that we like to listen to when we run. Because I get bored easily, I am always looking for new music to add to my playlists.
