90 Day Challenge: Running 5 miles in Marlborough
The hardest part is to make the food, lower you sugars and carbs and eat the good fats (Omega 3's) and you should be good. It all about portion control and a good balance.
Happy New Years everyone!
I started a 90 day challenge to meet my diet & fitness goals for 2012. I will publish what those goals are under separate cover!
The challenge started on Monday Jan. 2, 2012. Contact me if you would like to join!

I am doing great with the IF( Intermittent fasting). I am going to start counting to a tee, I was eating too much after the workouts bad! I fast from 9 p.m. until 1 p.m. 16 hours no food just water and coffee.
I get a cappuccino no sugar here at work (an hour or two before I break the fast) and that helps. I was talking to Frank Sabio (the amazing guy who got us on IF) on google plus he is pretty cool, he was giving me pointers on my cycle.

Diet schedule: Fast 9 p.m. to 1 p.m. ( 16 hours), eat 500 calories, then have 10mg of Lucene at 5 p.m., go home and work out at 6 pm, eat and start over. He recommends that we try the 24 hour fasts on week-ends ( I guess) that really kicks the fat burning in. Have you read Eat stop Eat yet ? I am reading it now and he (the writer) explains all this stuff. I am using Vi shakes by Visalus as a nutritional additive to my busy schedule at work.

Most sports nutritionists recommend a ratio of 40; 30; 20; (Protien,Carbs,Fats). I like chicken on the grill, and we use jerk rubs and healthy marinades. If you get oven bags, you can bake it in the oven with Premixed marinades (Frenches, just add water).
I am on fire, I lifted harder than ever in my Life last night ( Back & Biceps & ab ripper X) I was dizzy afterwards, then ate the big meal to replenish glycogen and aid in recovery. I felt better immediately. The night before I ran 5 miles in 49 minutes and I sang to my I Pod the whole darn way, sorry Marlborough!
If you can spin (on a spin bike) that is a good cardio workout! Mark Sisson (Mark's Daily Apple) recommends just walking (4-5 miles) it works. I still get out for at least two on lunch during the winter once or twice per week!
Tonight 5 more miles running, goal this week 23 miles running (plus another 15 walking).
Marlborough Look out X MIke is coming out!
