Holidays

Well, I'll say this.. the holidays are usually not a good time for people trying to lose weight. That stretch between Halloween and Christmas can sometimes get extended through Valentine's Day candy. Yesterday I said enough was enough and got back to it. I felt so good 2 1/2 weeks into Turbofire last October/November. I don't know why I ever stopped. I'm getting a little tired of starting over.

Yesterday was day one of Turbofire - the Fire 30 class. Today is day two which I believe is the HIIT 15 or 20 workout.

Yesterday Superman and I decided that all of the candy and processed foods need to go and only healthy foods should be left in the house. If we are going to have unhealthy foods it should be out of the house in a single serving rather than bringing it into the house where we can eat on a bag or box of something for a few days.

I would like to follow Chalene Johnson's eating plan that comes with the Turbofire DVDs. Has anyone done this? It seems pretty straight forward.

Up, Up, and Away!

Just got back home from our cardio/shredders (ate dinner too once we got home, etc.). Today I pushed myself harder than I ever have before. Normally for the first week Chris suggests doing 5 of the six minute shredders (I think I mentioned this in a post before, but a shredder for me is three minutes of walking, two minutes of walking faster, and one minute of jogging/running). Today we not only did that (and I wasn't all that out of breath like usual), but I surprised Superman by starting to run again two minutes after our last jog and then stopping. Then I further surprised him by running to this long flight of stairs and running up them (We also ran in the parking lot to the car, too. Probably not the safest idea in the world, but we really hauled it all the way to the car). Superman said that he has never seen so energetic before. That made me feel pretty good :) I think that maybe the extra energy may have had to do with today being a high carb day on the carb cycle. So toda...

Conventions and Trips

Sorry, haven't posted in a while. My recent trip to Atlanta for Dragon*Con had me a little off track. It was a great experience (especially since it was Superman's first time), so I don't regret getting a little off track. A little bit about that... We arrived in Atlanta on Wednesday night - ran into Richard Hatch at the Marriott bar - that was incredibly cool. Stayed until early Monday morning. Between those times we saw many panels... among them we saw Stan Lee, Adam West and Burt Ward, the actors from BSG, Warehouse 13, Firefly, Buffy/Angel, and Eureka. It was a great weekend. This was my fifth year that I attended and I don't think I've ever went to so many panels before except for maybe my first year which was 2008. I look forward to returning next year! On a side note, we stayed on the 8th floor of the Hilton and took the stairs up and down every time we went anywhere. My legs were killing me by Saturday afternoon.
