And I'm back!

Got back to the gym today. I was sick last week so I couldn't work as hard as I should be, so it was nice to be able to push harder today. I did my favorite....interval run on the treadmill. It's a great fat burner workout, and it gets me sweating!! If you're not a long distance runner this might be a great option for you. I start by walking for two minutes at 3.5, then kick it up to 6 for 30-45 seconds, then back down to 3.5 for a minute. Continue this all the way up to level 9, or as high as you can make it! When you get the hang of this work back down too, and also introduce the incline for an extra boost.
So I'm going to go ahead and officially say out loud that I plan on entering the triathlon in SD next summer. So back to the pool and keep pushing on the bike and the run!!!

FYI Moment: When you want a sweet snack, try Hershey dark chocolate kisses. They are a great portion size and dark chocolate offers a lot of great health benefits!
