Of course right after I sign up for the race and am looking forward into training, I get sick the one week and am now dealing with family issues and have been way too overwhelemd to be consistent with my workouts. I'm really stressing out about it since I only have 9 weeks till then. I've been so emotional that my body has no desire to do anything. I pray that I can get my act together and get going! I know I can get myself ready in the time I have, but really need to put my stress and emotion out on my workouts and be committed. Wish me luck!

Sick!! :(
So, of course my first day of training yesterday, I get WAY sick and am in bed all day with the flu! :( I literally had no energy to do anything! I was so bummed to not go to cycling, but that's ok. Today I feel better, not at my best, but took the morning off at the gym to work hard at dance/workout tonight. Let's hope I have enough energy! Kind of a let down to have this happen to me when I've looked forward to start, but life goes on and I'll just do what I can do for now! .

Let the training begin!!
So here it goes!! I'm ready to rock another triathlon!! I decided to do the Salem Spring Tri again on June 1st, which was the very first one I did back in 2010. I loved the course and atmosphere of it and look forward in bettering my times, especially my run since I feel much stronger in that area now! Plus, last year I didn't race in any triathlons since I was busy with other races and performances with dance, so I am super stoked to get into it again!!
Starting tomorrow comes my training for it!! I have 11weeks to train and feel ready and strong! I will be tracking my progress on my workouts to keep me on schedule before the race! Here is what to come this week:
Monday: Cycle Class/ Abs
Tuesday: Strength Training/ Cardio/ Dance
Wednesday: Cycle Class/ Run 3 Miles/ Abs
Thursday: Muscle Class/ Swim 1200
Friday: Run 3-5 Miles/ Abs
Saturday: Swim 1200/ Stretch
Sunday: Rest
Lots to do and ready to go! Wish me luck :)

Busy week
Dang! I was going to try and and blog every day, but got too busy, so here I am now!
Wednesday, I was so sore waking up from dance the night before that I was second guessing of going to cycling, but pushed my butt out the door anyways! I am SO happy I did though because the cylce class kicked my booty and just made me feel really good after! Never again am I going to let myself not get up and go when I don't feel up to it or make a stupid excuse not to!
Thursday was the muscle class which I LOVE! We did the bands this time and focused on certain parts of our body, did reps to where they made that part burn like no other, and then switched to another part. We focused on our biceps, back, booty, and abs that class. Let's just say my body is really feeling it today!
As for today, it is more of my relaxed day where I did a yoga video and did lots of stretches.
Tomorrow I have my friend's training session in the morning and then time to have a massage after! :)

Down 1
Well, I lost a pound since yesterday! Ha Ha, let's hope it continues!
Today I was going to swim, but my cousin and I decided to do a little cardio and then focus on weight stuff. We warmed up first, me running a mile on the treadmill, and then did a circuit type workout where we alternated upper and lower body stuff, rotated through the circuit of 8 stations, and repeated it 3 times. After the 3rd one, I was exhausted! I really liked it though! Then tonight, I had jazz and show stuff that by the time I was finished, I don't know why, but I was VERY EXHAUSTED!! I better get some good sleep to get through tomorrow's workout!

Hitting it hard!!
Ok, I'll admit. After Ragnar and with the Holidays, I really slowed down on my workouts! I mean, I still did a few days a week, mostly dance stuff, but not like I should have done!! Plus, with all of my family drama and illnesses that have been going on, life's been a little hectic lately!
So with less than 2 weeks till the Valentines Show, I am kicking it up a few notches and will be going hardcore on my workouts and eating healthy! I want to be able to look my very best when we perform, plus it really helps motivate me to have an ending goal. I know... 2 weeks, not very long, but I know I'll be able to reach my goal with the mind set I have!
My goal this time around is really focusing on my mid section, since this is always my weak area and of course keep toning everything else! I hope to also drop AT LEAST 5 pounds, but am really shooting for 10. Again, 2 weeks, but I am hopeful and have my weeks planned out to get me there!
Here is what my schedule consists of this week:
Today: Cycling
Tue: Swim/Weights/Dance
Wed: Cycling
Thurs: Muscle Class
Friday: Yoga/Stretch
Sat: Cardio/Weight training
Excited to get my booty going! :)
