Got in a workout at the hospital gym. I finally feel like I'm getting my speed back-just in time for the off season . I've been eating better, which is probably helping. Along with working out consistently (amazing how that helps!).

To the lake this weekend- I'm planning on bringing my bike and trainer with me so I can ride there tomorrow (looks like Sunday's the better day for a long run outdoors).

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?
