Quick post. I was down 5 lbs today from last week. Worked out tonight on push-ups and sit-ups and with jumping jacks. Nothing too amazing, but the push-ups and sit-ups are starting to get easier with the vest.
Tomorrow I am going to work on the run. Going to do the two mile with the vest then go from there. Going to hit the hay for now!

Still Kickin'!
Well, today I kept on going. I ran a timed mile which was not too impressive. It was 8:30, but that was with my 20lb weight vest on. I will time my two mile some time in the next few days. But hey, that is still a go on a PT test, even though I want to do much better than that. Sometimes it actually seems that the second mile gets a little easier for the first half, then the second half is the one that kicks your but when you are running for time.
After the run, I did push-ups and sit-ups with the vest and some other exercises. It is a big difference the vest makes when you are trying to do those. But it makes for a quick butt kicking workout!
Besides a little ice cream, I ate very sensibly today. Mostly liquids. Protein shakes, juice and soup. then I had some grilled chicken and potatoes after my work out. All in all, a good day and I feel better already!

I'm BACK BABY!
Ok, so I have totally neglected this. I was on a great track a few months ago, then SPRING BREAK happened. Oh, and just pure laziness. But after a spring break with way too much fun, I returned to back to school with a heavy load of paper writing and a lead up to finals. That and crappy weather helped lead to a bunch of crappy excuses that i let keep me from working on my goal. But now I am back on track BABY!!!
So this week I started working back out again, and today I decided to start watching the food again. I report for military duty in less than 2 weeks and one of the first things up will be a PT test. I am working out running, push-ups and sit ups with a 20lb weight vest. This is my quick train up that will make it easier on the PT test when that 20 lbs is not there. Today it about KILLED ME!!! It is going to take everyday, maybe twice a day workout to get a decent score on the PT test.
I ran a pretty decent mile today with the vest, not sure on the time because I did not have my watch. Then I ran wind sprints. It does not seem like too much, but that vest is a killer when you are pushing it. I plan on hitting the gym tonight for round 2, or I might just go for another run. I am doing push-ups and sit-ups through out the day.
Right now, my focus is not on my weight, but being in PT test shape. The weight will come with that. V-8 and protein shakes are my friend! It is amazing what an appetite suppressant exercise is. If I am not working out, I would be munching all day like the fatty that I am!
So with that, I am once again going to use this blog to shame me into exercising, getting in shape and losing weight. Please feel free to call me out on it if you are not seeing it!
