BEGINNING...

I have started "sweating" for my wedding intensely 6 weeks ago

for the NYNY contest at Carbone Training Center. 2 weeks, just 2 weeks of eating clean, I already FELT a change! Some may see this as a good thing, others may see this as a bad thing. It's a good thing that you see results from strength training and eating clean, It can work against you when you think "All I need is 2 weeks" and put off your diet & workout plan until then!!!

I've signed up for multiple run and triathlon races to keep myself motivated leading into my September wedding!!!! (You can't order TOO big of a dress size, it won't be altered "just" right!)

I am going to start keeping my workout blog to help relieve the stress, and achieve "goal" weight for perfect pictures on the perfect day =)

Last week, I just bumped up to 9 workouts throughout the week. 2 days strength, 20 miles running, 3 hours on my bike trainer, and 2 hours of swimming.

This is NOT easy when you have a full time job!! The only thing that gets me through the day is proper fuel. Protein after each workout and throughout the day!

I am a sucker for sweets =) I have made up my own "protein balls" and call them "energy balls" when I need that chocolatey-peanut butter taste!! It's a combination of Steel Cut Oats, Chocolate Protein, Almond Butter, Natural Honey, Unsweetened Coconut, and Soy, Nut & Gluten free chocolate chips!

This week I ran a nice easy 6 miles on Sunday and today a short 5 station circuit 3 times through 30/30 and 3 of speed work!

Happy Monday!
