Iron Man Inpiration.

Since March 18 which was my first Iron Man attempt. No swimming but the cycling and running Mind you i havent ran in a long time. I used to run a while back about a year ago but i stopped because it was just hard and i started getting side stiches and i was just not progressing like i wanted to. But this year has been steady but great with changes. I look better than ever. I believe i was like 111 pounds this morning. I really want to continue with my long cardio sessions. I love that i can run 1 hour plus with ease. Well not exactly but still :) on friday march 25 ..last friday i cycled for 2 hours then went right into running for 1 hour and 35 mins. Helllo. almost 4 hours of non stop excercise :D Anyways i just thought it was worth to share my success and happiness. I really want to get better with my endurance and forget those who say long endurance is bad for you. I want to look lean anyways and i love the feeling it gives me. onestly at this point s long as i can look slim and fit thats all i want and to be cardiovasucalarly fit :) I am very proud. Last note my knee has not been used to this kind of wear and tear an dhas been giving me problems lately. i had to rest since last friday till tuesday which was yesterday because it hurt and was injure..even swollen at tsome point. But i have been researching and icing as i have learned. :) and trying to hold myself back lol See ya nextime.

update

nothing will ever be perfet but no matter what happens im still looking smaller an di cant stop trying harder. I keep gettin back up because as i have learned tru sucess is trying again and again and again theres no stopin an dthere aint no option for failure. I must say i have found a new love. Not just being obessesed about losing weight but loving a sport for what it really is. ")

IRON MAN

Happiest day Ever! My IRON MAN story

i ran across an iron man champion who i so love and admire...Chrissy Wellington.
She won the womens Iron man 3 years in a row. She ever won by a significant time after losing a wheel. It totally shows me that i can do anything if i put my mind to it This year has been very life changing. I have become so much stronger and positive. I cant wait to see where i can get. I really want to take this desire that has been burning inside me seriouesly. It tells me i am a natural endurance athlehe. It tells me im going to be something big one day somthing very big one day and it aint just wishful thinking, i honestly feel like its really true.

So after being motivated i decided to bike for two hours straight followed by an hour of running and guess what i did it. Through the cramps that went away :). Running wasnt very fast because my legs were fatigued by biking for two hours. ad when i did i stopeed here and thre for water but nothing to long. I honestly didnt think i could do it but i did. And i even did the rolling on the ground htat chrissy always does at the finish line.




Course outline

Random biking. Putting in good effort though!
Did more of that long down and up hill than ever.
about 3 times at least

Then for the next hour and 5 mins i ran from my house down the front and then right at the circle and all the way down and second left towards cheery wood park then then left then right and at the endis cherry wood park on th eleft. went down that hill ..went straight at the circle at the bottom of th ehill then took first right (to th eleft is that big skinny downhill road buti turned right and went pretty far. then tunred back and passed my house again went up towards roots and passed the light and went down the hill to the stop sign and i touched it . didnt cross but runed back around and went home.
* i dint stop runing once. Other time i have trouble just running for 50 minutes. but today after 2 hours of biking i did it !!!
i definetly wnat o compete in IRON man one day and i will!!

Fruits till 3:00 (day 8 update) !

Ok! So todays day 8 im so glad. I cant say i see dramatic results but i want to keep contuing. It has definetly not been bad and good for my health i belive. The whole detoxing while sleeping and prolonging it till 3. But i need to change my foods up instead of moslty apples and sometimes banan and orange. :) Im going to do a workout :) I did one a day ago. trying to be somewhat consistent. I want to keep leabring, being postitive. I swaer when i havethe easiest time thats when i lose the most weight! :) because its consistenty an dim not so obessed over weather im seeing results or weighning myselfBut i want to start adding veggies. Last week i mastered the fruits till 3. i even made it when i was at home thursday and friday and the weekend.

NOTE- i have also noticed that i get full quicker which is wonderful. u feel ssatisifed eating what you want and you lose weight. thats why its so important no matter what i want to make sure i eat small to keep my stomach small . its wonderful because if i do mess up i dont eat so many calories and i can do better on my next meal. Its alll about focus and keeping sight on my goal and not letting it slpi. constatnly getting and making myself motivated. :)

Fruits Till 3.oo

So starting monday todays thursday i have been eating fruits till i get home which is about till 3.oo p.m. I cant say i really see changes but i want to continue this. Im home today and i am still doing it. I hav been having apples and oranges. apples and an orange till 3 which is not many calories but i get home and eat real food like injara, salsa wat ever it may be. I eat like twice after i get home so i feel like the fruits help me cut calories for most of the day. I really want to continue this plus its healthy and good for me. It has been challenging though but just like anything i can get used to it. I mean i fasted for 50 something days not eating till about 2 everyday so its doable i just need to stay commited. Im about 114. Which has been lower than like 118 or 119. I want to pick up the zuzana workouts. Its been about a week since i did it i belive but i did bike on monday. But im liking the fruits i just need more variety other than apples and oranges. But i have noticed i love oranges. Yum. So things are going well but i like the fact that i eat three times at school with the fruits. So once i maste that and get really used to it i want to cut my portion sizes at home and drink more water! Its so important. I did yesterday and today but i forget sometimes. Not good lol. But it motivates me to know that i am a lot smaller than i used to be lets say at the begining of the year. I love being surprised and all.
CONSISTENCY and MORE GOOD THAN BAD, way of living pays off. I no longer say oh i blew it im just going to eat crap. I just do what i have to do like workout no matter what and eat well when i can and other times you just move on. here the conclusion i have come to.


" I will never reach perfection nor ultimate sucuss, Theres always going to be more roads that i havent traveled. So its time to appreciate and be thankful for where i am. No pity talk just be consistent. Work out eat right and the rest will take care of itself. PLus there is more to hapinees than just being skinny True confidence is not a number on a scale its a true positive self image about youself inside and out."
