For some reason the trip down workout memory lane inspired me to enter all my basic meals and snacks on Spark People which is a free online community that supports fitness and weight-loss goals. They have a nutrition and meal-logging site that works well for me and allows users to create food groups that can be plugged into a custom daily meal plan. I enjoy the process of making a day's menus of snacks and meals, preparing it, and not having to waste time thinking about what to eat. For me food is definitely (1) fuel and (2) a means to not be hungry. I enjoy good simple whole foods.
January 2, it was back to work. I did an interval workout on the rower, bum leg propped up on a DynaDisk. Jake devised a series of intervals with a diminishing rest period, and the heart rate chart below shows that you can indeed get a good cardio workout on the rower!! I hit 168-170 on each interval. I think I even made those grunting gym noises that any self-respecting female would not do.
In two days registration opens for the Virginia Triathlon Series events. 2011 is here!! I have a race plan and game plan, but I need to spend a little time developing some specific goals.
Get excited everyone!!
