3 Down

John and I did our trainer workout again yesterday and we both agreed that we pushed ourselves harder than we have before on our own. We ususally get the workout she gives us done - but not really with the same intensity that we have done it with her - so we were pretty smitten with ourselves. Our working plan is Trainer on Monday, Pilates on Wednesday, Trainer workout on Friday, Run on Saturday and Swim on Sunday. That gives us a minimum of 5 workouts per week and if we need / want to, we can get a couple Zone 1 workouts in on Tues / Thursday, as our trainer says this type of balance is really important to maintain your ability to burn fat effectively. Anyway - we are on a good role - hope it continues.

I also haven't had any candy on purpose - I have had a few on accident, just not thinking - all of them M&Ms and once I just grabbed a bag from John without thinkingf and threw a few in moy mouth and I also had a couple handfuls of trail mix with M&Ms without thinking. But for me - this is great, especially since it is Halloween and candy is EVERYWHERE! Be strong....be strong....... the next few days will be the true test! My next 40 day commitment will be baked goods / desserts. Not bread per se - but anything else, brownies, muffins, cake, cookies - I gotta do it for the holidays if I plan to get through without gaining massive amounts off weight. I plan to start that next week. I'm off right now to get something baked! :)
