76 days left

I read the book Men's Health Huge In a Hurry this week. Some things that I got out of it is to 1) to try to eat 3 meals and 3 snacks a day with a lot more protein 2) use compound lifting exercises rather than the isolated, this would allow me to go from 6 lifting days to 3 and I can take more cardio classes. I am trying to get lean right now but eventually I want to get bigger. My routine has been pretty good but it has been over 8 weeks of the same routine and I think my muscles are anticipating.

I am training hard for my CMC event in September. I talked to some of the trainers at the gym about how to get my pull up numbers higher and started to work on that every other workout. I also am taking more classes. I took boot camp twice this week and man did it really kick my behind. I took spin twice this week too and one core conditioning class. That has been the best surprise my core has gotten a lot stronger since I joined Equinox a year ago. I remember when I couldnt even do some of the exercises. I am still no there yet I had to take a lot of breaks at the core conditioning class.

Food has been ok. I am not overeating which is good but I am not eating the way I want to either. It will take a lot of time to change my eating habits, which I am fine with. I started cooking more and eating out less but I still eat out from time to time. If anyone knows any meal planing iphone apps or websites please share!

I dropped to 14% body fat. Holy wow! In college 25% of my body was fat. The professor who was teaching the health course had me grab a 65 weight and told me that was how much fat was in my body.

87 Days until my military triathlon:

Yesterday I went spinning for 45 minutes and made sure to add more weight. Afterwards I lifted and worked on my abs and shoulders. I started doing more pull up exercises because I read on the website that pullups will help you push your self up over the rope obstacle course.

Still one negative was that I became an emotional eater after my cell phone company charged me for something they told me I wouldnt be charged for. I dropped them but was pissed and when I went out to dinner with my boyfriend I got into old habits. I ate way to quickly. I was mindless. Hey even said honey you are eating so fast what happened to waiting. This has been something that I have been working on for the past 2 months. Controlling how much and fast I eat when we go out. This was before my workout session and after I was finishing my workout session I didnt understand why I was so upset. I didnt understand why I ate so much and so quickly. I need to work on being mindful. I think I might take some yoga classes at the gym or something. I need to slow down and think.

I started talking to a woman I have seen in a number of my conditioning classes. She looked great and I commented on how much she has changed since the last time I saw her. She invited me to join civil military combine (http://www.civilianmilitarycombine.com/events/nyc-urban-assault/). It is like a triatholian mixed with crossfit. I started training for it this weekend. I changed my routine a bit but will change it even more after I am done reading the website. It is kind of cool having something to work for other than losing weight or gaining muscle. I want my body to perform so I need to prepare.

The first change was I am going to make sure I run 3 miles at least four times a week. I want to up it to 4 miles by July and then 5 miles by August. I am reading the website now and thinking I am going to have to change a lot more.

Repeat 5-10 times
Run 100m fast
Pushups - 10-20 reps
Pullups or flexed arm hang - 15-20 seconds worth
Dips or bench dips - 10-20 reps

Count down: 90 days
