Yes, went over 1,400 calories of aerobic exercise today: 1,822 so far with 3 days left in the week. Success.

Although I did get all 1,400 calories last week courtesy of the snowboarding, I’m still off on this. I’m going to start a day early this week and include Sunday. I’m also going to refocus the Insanity program as well and finish it out.

Well, I totally fell off the wagon… Feeling like crap. I need to focus on getting my whole life back on the wagon, not just the exercising. So let’s try again.

This week was a bit of a catastrophe… I just stopped after Wednesday for no good reason. I’m focusing on the fact I did 4 days of Insanity in a row for the first time. Refocusing once more on staying healthy. I may even work on acclimating on running in the cold (hate, hate, hate) to provide some variety.

It looks like I have the 1400 calories a week down, so I need to change this up a bit. Basically, once I hit 1400 last week, I lost motivation. I need that not to happen, so I’ll make this a 2 part challenge: a minimum of 1400 calories AND 30 minutes of aerobic exercise 6 times a week.

I came very close this week even with the pseudo-head cold for most of the week. Plus I get extra calories burned in the Insanity program. I’m looking forward to the next week and developing this workout habit more.

Two weeks of success even with the knee pain. I’m very happy with that. I also still am not adding in the Insanity work outs (with which my totals would be 3,235 calories for the week). Looking forward to another week of success.

I made it last week! I didn’t even count the calories I burned doing the Insanity program, just the pure cardio events. My goal is to stay on track this week and get in another 1400 in pure cardio events. It looks like it’ll all be inside with rain the first 2 days of the week and colder temps for the last 2.

Alright, getting back on track. It helps that AK has an indoor option with TV so I don’t get deterred by the cold. Since last week was a short week, I was happy to break 1,000 calories. Next week, I’ll start the Insanity program and keep to the Tread Climber too.
