Monday, November 1st

I love this day. It is the day that my kids decide which ten pieces of candy they get to keep from Halloween and the day they leave the rest of it out by the fire place for the"candy fairy" to come and take. They get excited about this, because they will awake to a little present instead of all their candy and I have my children back...the ones that aren't strung out on a sugar high!
Being November 1st, I have decided to take a little challenge myself...no candy, chocolate or extra sugar for me until 2011. The next two months are the hardest to be in shape with the holidays and yummy treats around every corner. I decided that as I continue my training, I want to be my best...and not "weighed down" from the aftermath of a holiday-junk-overload.
I think a few people from my tri class are gonna join me.. we shall see. We did say that agave and honey are ok..so I am sure I will come up with some creative holiday recipes using those instead of white sugar.

After a weekend of Halloween activites, I am excited to start a new week. Today I rode the trainer for an hour. I did 2o minutes at a 15 mph pace, 20 minutes at a 16 mph pace, and 20 minutes at a 17 mph pace with a five minute cool down. This was a great way to start off my week. Here is my general schedule for the rest of this week and I will try to update daily what I actually do.
Tuesday, November 2: a.m. Core and swim class at Elevate
Yoga at church-free class (trying to do with a 2 year old, doesn't always go as planned.)
p.m. weights and run at 24 hour fitness
Wednesday, november 3: a.m. bike ride
p.m. run and core at 24 hour fitness
Thursday, November 4: p.m. swim and weights at 24 hour fitness
(as long as my shoulder is feeling better..if not..I will just do weights)
Friday, November 5: Bike Ride and run
Saturday, November 6: not sure yet..we will see.
Sunday: Day off

So excited this week has started. I am looking forward to the 65degree weather we should be having all week! Hopefully I will finally get my first road bike!
