Wednesday - November 3

No workout, 1987 calories. We have a visiting speaker in town so I was shepherding him all day, and a group went out to dinner. I'm happy to keep my calories under 2000 (it was a very good, fancy dinner!).

Tuesday - November 2

Swim

45m
600.00 yards
07m 30s /100 yards

First day of "swim like a fish". Apparently I swim like a triathlete instead :). I think it will be good though- I'm already getting a better sense of the roll in the water thing.

Run

27m 31s
3.03 miles
09m 05s /Mi

I felt like I was moving fast, so I was happy to see that it was in fact a pretty fast run for me! Not sure where that came from though- I wish I knew how to pull these out for race days...

Monday - November 1

Bike

30m
7.48 miles
14.96 Mi/hr

Trainer ride. It's chilly out!

So I signed up for not one but TWO challenges!

1. You'll log Christmas Challenge:

- Log all workouts (not a problem since I already do this)

- Log all food every day until Christmas (I'll use Fitday since I find it easier, and I'll post my calories and nutrient balance here every day)

- Lose 10 pounds by Christmas. To give myself extra incentive, I have told my husband that I will not buy any clothes or shoes until I weigh 125...

2. November Crushers Challenge (Pick 4!)- Lose 5 pounds by Thanksgiving

- Ride 10 hours in November

I'll have to decide if I want to add any other goals- finish knitting that scarf?

Leisurely trainer ride- I had a massage last night and was feeling a little sore, so I took it easy.

Friday - October 29

Bike

40m
10.15 miles
15.23 Mi/hr

Trainer ride. Hmm, I still have 22 hours to go if I want to make my goal of 40 hours biking this year. I have two months (and a 10K I'm training for). That means I would have to ride 11 hours each month, or just under 3 hours a week. I'll have to think about this, but I might be able to do it... 40 minutes 5 days a week?
