Happy…Happy!!!

5.14K in 35:18 minutes with a top speed of 7 mph for 2 full minutes and an average pace of 5-5.5 with some 6 mph also. Then 2 miles on the bike in 8 minutes and 2 miles on the elliptical. Plus my daddy came with and walked a little over a mile and rode 2 miles on the bike. He doesn’t need to lose an ounce but am trying to help him get some energy. So a workout that turned out perfect. According to myfitnesspal a workout for 80 minutes for 925 calories (I think that seems a bit low but that’s what it says).

I tracked my food today, I couldn’t stand not getting back at it and I’m under 1000 calories and I know I need to get more in but am having problems with the menu but I won’t be, I’ll get it right. I know Wednesday and Thursday I was way over my 1500 calories so 2 days under 2 days over and a couple I don’t remember days…well it’ll all work out once I get my ducks in a row.

So tomorrow is a lazy day for me. Brenda and I are going to a Health and Wellness expo in the morning, going out for lunch with Jim after he gets off work and then a nap, a long lazy relaxing nap. Then I know we’ll do some work on the coal elevator we’re building. I say we but really Jim is doing 99% of the work and I’m just tech support, gopher and moral support. I am going to also work on my menu and get together a journal for next week.

So my friends, thank you so much for all your kinds words, support, advice and so much more. I hope you know just how much you all mean to me cuz it’s lots and lots. THANK YOU!!!

Take care and have a blessed weekend.

925 calories burned is not low for that amt. of time.. when i am on the elliptical for an hr. i burn 577 calories at 7.28 miles... at level 17.... and that is on an updated elliptical...julie, it takes a lot of exercise to burn calories.

Awesome work on the running and biking! I know I'm only learning but after doing a night of week one of Brad's program I'm not feeling like I can bike... someday though... someday! You are an inspiration:-)

The run alone was an awesome workout!

Sounds like a great workout!! 900+ calories is always good in my book. Good job Julie. :)
