Pretty Good Day

For a Monday :)

Yesterday was good. I ate on plan; did it without any snacks, and I made it to the gym.

I absolutely KILLED it at the gym, which I love

Leg Day

Leg Press - 3 x (360 x 10)
Squat - 3 x (195 x 10)
Dead Lift - 3 x (90 x 10)
Stand Calf - 3 x (90 x 10)

Then I went home and went for a run. It's week 4 of my 1st day to 5K program that I'm doing from the podrunner website. which looked like this:

WEEK 4

29 minutes from 129 to 140 BPM

BPM CHART:
5-minute warmup @ 129 BPM
3 minutes @ 140 BPM
90 seconds @ 130 BPM
5 minutes @ 140 BPM
2 minutes 30 seconds @ 130 BPM
3 minutes @ 140 BPM
90 seconds @ 130 BPM
5 minutes @ 140 BPM
Two minute cooldown @ 130 BPM

Those 5 minute running intervals after a 90 second rest were just killing me! :) But in a good way. I really pushed myself and it felt GREAT!

After that, I ate my L&G and hit the hay. Tired but in a good way!

Got up this morning and had a BIG surprise - weight 214!! I've hit the 25 lb mark. I've shed 25 lbs of fat, never to be picked up again!

I also , finally got around to taking measurements - wow!

In five weeks I've lost:
Chest (this is just under my arms): -2.2"
Waist: -3.7"
Hips: -2"
Butt: -1.5"
Thigh: -1" 
Calf: -1"

Overall I've very very happy with my performance AND the results!
