off track
Wow...I got really off track with the blogging! I've been working on my teacher portfolio that is due in a couple of weeks. It's a lot of work and has distracted me! I have lost another 5 pounds since I last blogged! I should have lost more this last week, but I had a girls weekend. Two friends spent the weekend with me, and I completely failed my diet. I didn't gain any weight, but I didn't lose any either. I need to be stronger on girls night out! Maybe I'll just explain my goals to my friends so next time, they'll know to help me stay on track. Today I tried a new treadmill work out. Basically, you start by warming up. Then, you do interval training. I go full out as fast and hard as I can run (which for me is 6.5-7) for 40 seconds, then do 90 seconds on a fast walk (4) for 90 seconds and repeat this process 8 times. I got the idea from a physical trainer who said the high intensity works more calories than lower intensity, even if I do the lower intensity twice as long. It was harder than I though it would be! I thought the 90 second walking intervals would make it a piece of cake....boy was I wrong! I was sweating more than ever before on the treadmill. I loved it! It also helped my time go by a lot faster. I'm going to keep it up the rest of the week and we'll see if it makes a difference. Wednesday and Thursday will be challenging. Wednesday, my little brother is opening his mission call, so I'll be going down to PG right after school and getting home late. Thursday, I have parent-teacher conference until 7:30pm. I usually workout after school at about 4pm, so my schedule will be crazy those two days. I'll have to make sure I stay strong and fit a work out in no matter how busy my days are!
