6 weeks, 4 days and counting....
The race bike route was finalized today and the forms are being faxed to me as I type! Huzzah! Registration has been delayed as the city of Anchorage kindly decided to install speed humps over the winter (because those golf carts were just getting out of control) and the park was trying to find another suitable route. Alas, no route could be found and we will just have to deal with speed humps. I'm thinking out-of-seat full-on Evel Knievel style is called for here.
And speaking of bikes, my baby is in the shop. Boo! I took it in for a tune-up because one of the bike club guys said it looked like my rear derailer was bent. Lucky me, it wasn't my derailer, my rear axle was in pieces. I needed a whole new rim, etc. I'll be picking her up later this week.
Meanwhile, it looks like I'll be indoor biking for the next few days. It's ok though, the gym is playing the Bourne movie series. I'll just pretend like I am chasing bad guys through Paris and every so often I'll look confused and ask the person on the bike next to me if they have any idea who I am.
Here's the plan:
Monday - Cycling (Indoor)
Tuesday - Run/Swim/Kickball
Wednesday - Arms/Run
Thursday - Lunch Run
Friday - Lunch Cycling
Saturday - Girlfriend's Bike Trip!!!
Sunday - Swim/Run
*Possible off day on Friday as all of my Fridays so far have gone straight to heck.
Week 5 Training Plan - Closing in on the halfway point!
P-Fit Round Two!
The 2nd Biggest Loser competition at my workplace, fondly known as P-Fit Round Two starts this Friday. It will be a 12-week session ending on Aug, 7th. There will be an overall cash prize at the end along with several challenges throughout. I, for one, think Round 1 should have had a tiara and am working diligently to obtain one for Round 2. If all else fails, I'll hoof it over to Burger King and pick up one of their fine paper crowns. Does Long John Silver's still have the pirate hats? Those would be cool, too. P-fit Pirates!
Sorry.
At $20 a person, P-Fit is cheaper than Weight Watchers and includes a fun, informal smack-talk atmosphere between co-workers. Last round brought sneakily placed Snickers bars around the office and competitors ordering pizzas for each other. Good times!
Here are my goals for this round:
- 20 lbs (1.6 lbs per week)
- Drop 2 more sizes
- Definite definition in arms and abs
- Complete Triathlon on Aug. 1st
How do I plan on doing this?
- Training for triathlon - 2 workouts per week of each Swim, Run, Bike and Strength Training
- Eat 5-6 meals/snacks per day, eating every 3 hours. Avoid sugars and refined foods focusing on un-processed as much as possible.
- Log all food, water and fitness on thedailyplate.com
- Water, water, water
A P-Fit group has been set up on Facebook for all participants and their supporters as a place to post events, ideas, recipes, plans, photos and the aforementioned smack-talkage.
Our total weight loss for Round 1 was 321 pounds. I fully expect us to beat that black and blue in true Chuck Norris fashion. And if you feel dizzy in August don't be scared. The Earth is just spinning a little faster due to our phenomenal poundage decimation.
