He is also very active, mostly weight training and he has run 2 half marathons as well. He is very fast without training too hard. 1:28 Half Marathon!!!

Day 1: Jillian Michaels "Making the Cut"

AM: Workout Day 1 from her book. Finished each circuit once. It felt good. I got a little light head after doing Burpies. Drank a full bottle of water through out workout.

Wish me luck with following the diet today. Why is that always so much more difficult than exercising?

I will report my PM workout and my food intake tonight.

45 min. of running Lots of stairs. Right after dinner, not a good idea Calories 1400 super clean no processed food. Water 75 oz. Need atleast 80.

Day 2: Jillian Michaels "Making the Cut"

AM: Slept through my alarm this morning. DARN! Had to settle for a 4 mile walk pushing a stroller. I don't have a jogger or I would have run. It was nice to walk along the beach with my two year old. He loved it. We saw lots of dogs and he blew kisses to each of them.

PM: Day 2, 5 Circuit workout. I really like these workouts. They are challenging and they have a little bit of everything, so never boring.

Ran 1.4 with my 7 year. So these were REALLY SLOW miles but nonetheless.. miles.

Food Intake: Another great day. 1390 calories. I ate lots of berries today. They are so yummy!!

Day 3: "Making the Cut"

Today is an off day for weights so just one workout for the day. 5 painfully slow miles. I am not yet recoverd. My muscles are so weak and tired. I had fun chatting with Renae this morning.

Ate a few to many calories today... 1550 not bad but still I need to stick to the 1400.

I also did not stay up on my water intake. I think that is why I was starving all day long.

Recommiting to drinking enough water tomorrow.

Day 4: Making the Cut

AM--3.7 miles on the treadmill. Pushed for 4 min recovered for 2 min. Did this for 40 min. My legs are still a bit sore from all the squats I did on Monday. I need to focus on getting enough water today. I didn't do so hot on that yesterday. I am already noticing a difference in my body! Little, but still the work is starting to show.

PM: Circuit workout day 4. .3 miles of sprints thrown in there. I felt good today. This is the same workout from Monday and it felt a little easier today.
