hopjumpskip:

My own weekly routine (VII): Saturday.
SATURDAY WAS MY REST DAY. It had to be my rest day. I was meant to be my rest day. Ok… I confess, I couldn’t stay home, I cheated.
Rest day has to be respected and honored. Is like the fitblr’s Sabbath. Anyway, I don’t regret at all. Mistakes are part of the training too. And it had no running, no cardio, and legs weren’t used that day.

My own weekly routine (VI): Friday.
On Friday I planned to swim as cross cardio training, but fate was totally against me, so pool was closed…. Well… they can close pool, gym and even my home’s door, but no one can close my legs. That’s why I ran.
WARM UP RUNNING:
_1º: 4.74km in 25m03s
SHORT SERIES: Better known as sprints. Simple and effective. PURE POWER TO YOUR LEGS!
_100m x 4...

My own weekly routine (V): Thursday
On thursday I cheated a bit the plan I made. But it’s something inevitable. As I told you, planning has to be just a draft, so you can feel free to move, add, change or delete things depending on how are you feeling in the moment. And I felt awesome, so I thought it was a perfect day to beat Iwannarun10k’s challenge!

Without limits.: Warrior Dash Memories →
with0utlimits:
Carli, Terrie and I had an incredible time at my now all-time favorite race. I completely understand how impressionable this race was to Nick.
One of the most coveted spots on the obstacle course would have to be the mud pit. The pool of mud was deeper than expected so I chose to attack…

My own weekly routine (IV): Wednesday
At this point, things begin to get serious. It’s difficult to stay motivated when fatigue accumulates day after day. Tough day, but great results!
WARM UP BIKING: Have to say that: I. Hate. Spinning. Just to be honest with you. I would lie if I told you I love everything I do. Sometimes you just do something disgusting though you hate it because it will help you to make you better. I...

My own weekly routine (III): Tuesday
TUESDAY:
WARM UP: Treadmill time. 5km. 25 minutes 10 seconds. Running at 5:20 with a couple of high intensity sprints.
CHEST WEIGHT LIFTING: I never worked my chest before, so it’s being pretty rough to build that muscle. Anyway, I need it too.
Chest:
_Barbell bench press: 4 series x 12-10-8-6 reps. _Dumbbell flyes: 4 series x 12-10-8-6 reps. _Dumbbell...

My own weekly routine (II): Monday
First of all, I want you to meet someone. Her name is Kelly. We met like three weeks ago, and I fell in love since the first time I saw her. That’s a picture:
I love the way she make me sweat….
WARM UP: I use to warm up every day, about 20 minutes. It’s just basic. Yesterday I was going to run large series, so I did a intense warm up running, since...

My own weekly routine (I): Planning the week
When you begin to get serious with your training, you need to plan your week since its beginning. Things I use to keep on mind:
I have to put one long series day, one short series day, one long distance run. Like I wrote on my post, a runner’s planning needs to have different running paces in order to avoid the usual pace, if you don’t want to be as slow as you are now...
I know I told to post my daily routine this...
But after posting my progress on Sunday, I received a lot of new followers (Greetings to all of you!), comments and people asking for advice, tips or puntual questions. I spent a few hours trying to answer them all, knowing my new fitblr friends, looking their blogs, following they back and introducing myself privately. So on Monday I was totally knackered! After the workout I tried to begin...

Insane holidays!
I should be all day on the beach. Instead of that, I’m spending the most of my holiday’s week between pool, running path and gym. Anyway, that’s the way I’m happy. Like said in a famous commercial: I challenge to what I did yesterday. I challenge to the world. I challenge in meters, in kilometers… And finally I challenge myself.
Smashing my own times: 1 KM:...
Success!
lindsaydoeslife:
Just went to a buffet for the first time since january! I have to admit I was a little nervous that I would overeat. I had all of my extra 49 weekly ww points and I used some of them but not as many as I thought I would. I had a big salad, watermelon, pickles, 2 small pieces of pizza, and 4 bites of lasagna. It was enough to fill me up and I was more than satisfied. I can’t...

THE END OF MY WEIGHT LOSS JOURNEY, THE BEGINNING...
I’ve made the decision. I’m not going to lose more weight. I’m done with that. I began on February 1st, as a depressed, asmathic, flat feet obese with a exact starting weight of 258.39 lbs. Today, August 1st, exactly 6 months after the beginning, I can describe myself a stubborn and dedicated warrior, or like lovely Sara use to call me, an overachiever; training for marathon,...
