Mission: Incredible Shrinking Woman

Hey hey hey...been a long time, I shouldn't have left you...without a dope beat to step too...(LOL..I think that's how the song goes but I'm old and I forget).

So I've been absent for a while and think I realize that there is no way I can blog every day...that was an awful tall order for myself with my schedule. Here's the recap...

December dieting/training was a joke...between my grandfather being in the hospital, the holidays, the holiday parties, the traveling and oh...me being sick for like 3 weeks...well let's just say not much got done and I even managed to gain a few more lbs.

January started off with the flu where I was knocked on my arss for 5 days and managed to loose about 5 lbs...not the best way to go...but I'll take it (I'll cut off apendages if necessary LOL). So the real training and diet started last Monday - officially 19 weeks from my first (goal) show May 30th. Sully and I both agree that if around the 6/8 week mark we don't think I can make the 30th, then I will pick another show. But 5/30 is the target right now.

This first program is a 6 week program and was about 6 pages long when I printed it out...complex...but I LOVE it. I love variety and so far this it's great for training.

The dieting part for me always sucks...but it is what it is and actually right now I'm eating quite a bit. You can check that part out on my fitday journal which I have been updating daily since last Monday. No pounds lost yet, but it always takes my body a while to get into the fat burning mode. It gets mad at me for a period of time before it lets go.

Starting the diet and training last week was a challenge because I had a training class that I had to commute to every day and that made my normal schedule a little off...but I was proud of myself for sticking to all the training even with that commute curve ball. So I will post all of my w/os from the past week a little later today!

If you're still around and following my blog...thanks for hanging with me...it's going to be a long but worthwhile journey!

Later...T
