I was really sick for a week with a terrible stomach flu. Just completely wrecked. I thought, for sure, that the weight I had lost would have been all muscle weight, but it would seem it wasn't that bad.  I hit the gym today after a couple weeks of not going and I hope to go for a run tomorrow.

Mat and I ran the Mississauga 10k a couple weeks ago and I'd like to get back on track for training for my half marathon. The weather is getting significantly hotter, but it's still nice in the evenings.

Hope for the best :)

It's been awhile since I updated

I've been so bad with blogging lately. Hell, I've been bad with going to the gym and everything else.   It's just been a busy month.

I got back on track today, though. I went to Newbody and I'm glad of it. I also took my weight again.

I'm not sure how Aaron calculated the water % so I'll just leave that out.

Anyway, it's going well. I'm running a lot. The Mississauga Marathon 10k race is on May 5th and I think I'm going to be ready. I'm going to run 8 or 8.5k on Sunday and am going to take it easy, run-wise, during the week. I'll do BodyVive on Tuesday instead of Friday and a yoga class or something like that on the Thursday with usual Newbody on Wednesday.

I also figured out how many calories, give or take, I'd burn during some of the classes I love. I'll make a post about that later. I forgot to memorize how much BodyFlow burns. (I think 320 or so, but I'll be sure)

Finally, new measurements. My weight is down to 162lbs. My measurements are a bit less, too. Neck is at 12.5", waist at 34, hips at 41 (same), and chest at 34. Win win win. I hope I can keep it up.

Progress

I've been going to the gym on a regular basis and have been seeing my personal trainer, Aaron.  It's a slow process, but slow is good.

I'm learning how to use the circuit properly and I'm pushing the limit.  I'd normally give up but I paid for this and, damnit, I'm going to do it. And when it's over, I'll keep doing it because, damnit, I paid the money to get started and will keep it up.

We've been focusing on resistance and core training because that'll help with endurance and energy.  We also did calculations of body fat and weight.

My current weight is 169 and change. I was 164 before having the baby. My goal is 155.

And I'd like to lose fat and gain muscle, so it'll definitely be something of a journey.

Starting from scratch

Well, the recovery from having the baby is almost finished so it's time to get back on track.  I am at the weight at which I started exercising last year in June, but this time, I have an excuse.

I've reinvested time and interest in MapMyRun and have started taking walks everyday with the stroller.

Baby steps, baby steps.

Current weight: 180 lbs
Goal: 160 lbs
Ideal weight: 150 lbs
Expectation: 2012 Half Marathon (and maybe some in-between 5ks)
