2 Miles!!

Yesterday, I went to the gym and got in the pool to swim. Thursdays are my swim days. On average I swim about 1600 yds, which is just over a mile (64 laps.) Well this time, I had so much energy and was such in a "lets do this" mode, that I kept going and ended up swimming 2 miles, 3000 yds, or 120 laps. Never have I had the motivation to do that! I have been thinking about the Olympics and am so excited to watch the swiming, that I think it pushed me to go further!! I wish I had that energy all the time, plus I feel SO good today too!! Hope I can do that again :)

Then last night, my singing and dancing group performed up at Camp K by Hogle Zoo. It's a camp for the disabled. Wow, was that such an amazing experience!! I just love the kids we performed for and had such a fun time getting them up on stage and dancing with us!! The looks on their faces were priceless!! The show went well for us too!! We have a show tonight at The District in South Jordan!! Very excited to see most of my family and friends there!! Besides cleaning today and dancing tonight, I'd call that my workouts for the day!! Happy Friday :)

COLOR ME RAD!!

This looks so fun!!!! Who wants to do it with me?? They are doing a giveaway to run in it too!

MyFitnessPal

At the beginning of the week, I started using MyFitnessPal that my friend recommended to me. I never have tracked my calories before and never thought it to be necessary for me, but just tracking the first day and seeing the crap I put in my body was an eye opener for me!! I mean I try and eat healthy, but I've noticed that I eat way too much sugar and not enough protein, plus other nutrients I'm not getting enough of or too much of. I know with how much I workout and how active I am that I shouldn't be way strict with what I intake every day, but it really helps me to just know what foods I am getting for my body to stay at where it needs to be, plus I have about a month before I start performing, so I have to look good for that as well :) So far, it has been so good for me and helps me to second guess any sweets I might eat. Let's hope it keeps me on track and it will help me looking might fine for the summer lol... :)

Training and dancing go fabulous together!

On Monday, my cousin and I met up with our trainer and went over our workouts that he wants us to do. We did a lot of weight stuff that focused on certain parts of our body. I loved it because most of it are things that I haven't done before so hopefully itll get the areas I want to slim down more! I'm excited to make him proud as well as myself!! Yesterday, I wasnt feeling good earlier and had to work, but got myself enough energy to kill myself doing insanity! Seriously!! I am dying after doing one of those workouts, but love it!! Then today, I had my fun 3 hours at dance! I just love Wednesdays!! I was quite anxious all day for some reason, must be the certain time of the month or something :) but after dance tonight, I felt so much better!! So with training and dance, things are good!!!

Dance Dance Dance!!

Today I had dance from 630-930. Technique was good. We worked a lot on leaps. Its funny how I feel stronger with leaps now then I did back in High School. I'm sure its because of how much more I workout now and how much stronger they actually are. I love it!! It makes jumping so much easier for me! After, we did a cardio/weights circuit which kicked my butt!! Nicole always know how to make us grunt and sweat thats for sure!! I am always very sweaty and gross after, but at least I know I worked hard! Then the rest of the night was learning more choreography for our Vegas show. Our first show is just under 2 months! Getting very excited! It's coming along great!!

Getting Started!

This morning I had my first session with my trainer at Golds Gym. It was mainly just to meet him and write down my goals and such. I think he'll be good to help me get to my goal weight and body fat, not that I need to lose a ton, but just another person's input will help me with what I am missing with my workouts and nutrition. Right now, I am looking to lock in my training with the Tri this summer! It's gonna be fun getting back into the training mode!

After I met up with the trainer, I ran 2 miles. Haven't done that in a while, but it felt good! I just am not a huge treadmill runner to run long distances. It gets too boring for me! Can't wait for it to warm up! Gotta get comfortable with 6 mile runs!!
