Hey guys!!!
I was so not ready for the week to begin last night. But when I woke up at 4.50 a.m. ten minutes before my alarm was set to go off, I felt good and recharged. I quickly finished my workout - Jillian Michaels - 30DS- Level 2 before the Husband andtoddler kid woke up. This is my fifth consecutive day of working out. Half marathon training has officially begun!
It happened sometime last week. Once I registered for the Auroville half, I knew I had to get serious. A half marathon is no easy task. Completing 21.1k on the feet is quite painful literally. And I want the second time to feel better than the first.
So a quick recap of Auroville Half Training - T-12 weeks
Thursday - 21/11 - 5k run
Friday -22/11 - JM- No more trouble zone
Saturday -23/11 - 6 week 6 pack lvl 1
Ofcourse, the first half of the week passed without any real workout, and thats how I panicked once I officially signed up for the race.
In fact I also did a long run on Sunday and worked out today. With my new schedule, I find very little time in the mornings to hit the gym. Chittu time has become limited right now, and I don't want to further eat into it at any cost. So for now, I am optimising using a combination of home workouts for strength training and running.
Another important thing I noticed that I seem to lose weight when I am not exactly obsessing over the weighing scale. I guess the fact that I know I have not gained weight, pushes me to to eat more rather than the fear of gaining when I am not regularly weighing myself. I do have a few more kilos to go before I reach the magical 60s. But yes certainly, I want to reach that zone soon.Just I have a bad feeling its going to take me REALLY long to get there.
Whats up at your end?

You are bang on about the weight loss thing...I think that's what I do too, just couldn't put my finger on it.
ReplyDeleteAll the best with the marathon training.

DeleteI think combining JM with your marathon training will surely help you to build you stamina.. All the best for your Marathon..do keep us motivated!!
ReplyDeleteyes thats what I am aiming for too :)thankyou!
DeleteSo true abt the weight loss!
ReplyDeleteAll the very best with ur training :-)
thanks :)
DeleteIt sort of is the opposite for me regarding the weight loss.. Once I begin losing weight, I become very focused. But if I slip once, I tend to ignore and eat more :(
ReplyDeleteAnyways, good luck for your training!
hmm something I did for very very long too.By now I have become far more conscious about my food choice, and I know one slip up is certainly better than many :) Still, I stop losing weight and stabilise at a particular weight merely because of my complacency :)
DeleteI love JM...good luck with your half marathon training :)
