Keep on keepin' on....
Yup, that's the name of the game. Rode the trainer yesterday for an hour and a half...hit the PT strengthening exercises I am supposed to be doing and then OWS for 2 laps. 
Today, just an hour bike ride, with hills. Tomorrow, oh, another bike ride!! Gotta get strong on that bike. PA Ave is getting easier! Loving the hills!! 

I have been watching Extreme Makeover, Weight Loss Addition. I would love to know what goes on behind the scenes. I think it's prob only one step up from Biggest Loser, but to watch these people over a year, the changes are amazing. They really shine at the end, even the ones who don't reach their goal. It's cool. A little inspirational. I am really trying to put the hammer down and get as much off before the end of the year. Blah Blah Blah... I know, you all have heard it before (thanks for listening)!!!

I have been using this app called my fitness pal, let's me put in what I eat, and my exercises and tells me how much I can eat. So according to the doo-dad, If I want to lose 2 pounds a week, I can only eat 1,200 calories. Can you say BITCH, because that's what I turn into. So, I am more of a 1,500 calorie a day girl, with training! I adjust the numbers do in the calories burned section, because they seem awful high and I try to stay around the 1,500 mark....tonight for example, I ate 1443 calories and had earned 500 from exercise.... I still have 257 calories I can eat and stay on track... but I am sure I didn't record the 2 cliff blocks I ate (about 66 calories) and something else...anyway, the app says I should be down 10 pounds in 5 weeks... yay!! 

Really thinking about LP and what I got myself into. This is going to be amazing. It really does not matter what time I finish, as long as it's under 17 hours. I have to keep telling myself that!! But Golly Gee... I do not want to be out there that long... wow... 

Check back in a couple days...xxoo
