I haven't been good about updating my blog lately and prior to a couple months ago, I was blogging about my fitness journey, but since starting my SparkPeople.com blog, that's where I do my blogging about my fitness.
I've been really proud of myself for staying consistent and I'm finally starting to see some results. I've ramped up my workout sessions to 45-50 minutes rather than 30-35 minutes. I've been going to the gym, walking or biking at least 4 times a week instead of the 3 times that I was doing.
I also just recently purchased a heart rate monitor and after two days of reading the how to manual, I wore it when I worked out today at lunchtime. It was awesome! It tells me what my heart rate is and what kind of calorie burn I'm getting.
I'm shooting for 2000 burned calories a week and on the days I do workout, I'm shooting for at least a 5K....3.1 miles or if biking, 10K....6.2 miles.
Still struggling with my water intake. I just don't like water unless I'm really really thirsty, so trying to drink 8 glasses is almost impossible for me.
Food choices are good. I have a cheat day and I also don't deprive myself on something that I want. If I over indulge one day, then I take it easy for the next couple of days.
I really need to get before and after pictures. :)
