Here we are, already into June! Where did May go? Oh right, for me it went on vacation and sick days. I had already re-planned out my new goals for the Summer Challenge, and although I missed a gym day this weekend I am pretty much on track. I still have to get in 15 more gym days before Jun-22, and still need to travel more than 25.6km in that same time. Totally doable!But since we have started another month, I've started my June goals as well. Since May didn't work out so well for number of gym days, I've bumped it up for this month. I want to see 22 little lady bug stickers on my calendar. And in tandem with that, I'm aiming for 75km travelled (in gym or not) by month's end. (I achieved over 50km last month, even with being away and being sick...so it was time to up the ante.) My bike should finally be on the trail this week, so that will make the km challenge a lot easier.As an added challenge, I'm putting the smackdown on ice cream. The blizzards were starting to become a weekly treat, so I'm cutting that down to one for the month. DBF is going to laugh in my face, but I'm going to be strong. If DQ calls to me, I'll either tell it to bugger off, or get a small dipped cone. And I'm not buying ice cream for the house. If it's not here I don't even care about it...but if it's here I can always hear it taunting me. Anyone else have June goals or challenges?
Meh. Up 1.4 pounds today. The scale tells me 155, which is as high as I ever like to get. Boooooo. Not surprising based on yesterday though. It was a lazy day, I was tired as all hell, didn't do much of anything. Didn't make it to the gym, managed to finish off the Ben & Jerry's, shared a chocolate bar with DBF, and ate McD's for dinner. Not a shining day for me.Today is a new day!!- water- coffee- water- Kashi Crunch w/ vanilla Almond Breeze- strawberries- water- tuna salad (tuna, light mayo, green onion) on light rye Wasa- baby carrots, sliced cukes- sparkling water with lemon- 1/2 banana- GYM- Kashi granola bar (choc/cherry)- water, water, water- chicken & veggie skewers, Italian herb & olive oil marinade, brown rice, skim milk- tea- grapes (if feeling snacky)Edit: Gym RecapTreadmill: - 5 min warmup- 15 minutes sprint intervals (30 sec sprints @ 7mph, 1 min recoveries @ 4mph)- 4 min cooldown (I got impatient...haha)Strength Training (minus reverse lunges and back extensions, but added step ups on the bosu and calf raises)Recumb Bike:- 10 mins on level 5, randomTravelled 6.6km today!
So the no popcorn plan was foiled last night because there was an Indiana Jones bucket that needed to be acquired. LOL. DBF rarely wants popcorn...it's ironic that we ended up getting it the one time I really didn't want it. haha. It was good though and I'm glad we had it! I probably should have passed on the root beer to go with it, but I didn't want diet Coke and there are no other diet options (which is soooo lame).Then we came home and had wine. :)This morning I made breakfast sammiches. Not the healthiest choice, made with bacon...but I used the Blue Menu bagels and light cheese slices, so they could have been worse. Besides, aside from some strawberries and yogurt this afternoon I probably won't eat until dinner time.DBF has blood work tomorrow morning at work, so he has to fast after 7:00 tonight. We are planning dinner for right at 6:30 and I plan to not snack after that because it would be unfair to him. I think we'll make tea! Dinner was supposed to be BBQ steak with scallop skewers, but with the shitty weather and his pending cholesterol test we decided to freeze those and just stick with something light. I think I'll still do some skewers with chicken, mushrooms, zucchini & yellow peppers...maybe with some rice. Sure, sounds like a plan!I haven't made it to the gym yet....booooooo. Maybe later. I hope. Yikes.
