OK, so this past week was a lot harder then the first week. I think will power got me through the first week but it was difficult finding that same amount of will power in week two. The hunger urges got the best of me on a couple of occasions.
Workout summery:
Wednesday 1/27 - ALARC Core Class - 90 minutes
Sunday 1/30 - Instep 5K - 27:20
Monday 2/1 - Running - 30 Minutes; Weight Training - Legs
We traveled to Milwaukee last weekend for the Great Lakes Multisport Expo (review below) which defiantly put a dent in the workout scheduled and made the diet a challenge. I can tell that my stomach has shrunk and it takes less for me to feel full.
Current Weight - 184.0 lbs.
Weight lost this week - 1.5 lbs.
Total weight lost - 8.0 lbs.
This would have been so fun to do especially the team time trial but I don't think we would haul our bikes to Milwaukee in the middle of winter time unless we had an enclosed option, plus we are missing a team to be part of. The one oddity about the expo was the complete lack of anyone that we knew and absolutely NO Gear West red anywhere. Hopefully we can generate enough interest in the Twin Cities multisport community so that we can better represent next year. Hey Kevin O'Connor, Steve Gunther and Kris Swarthout are you listening????
InStep 5K:
As part of the Expo on Sunday morning they had the InStep Winter Series 5K Championship at the Expo. Since we were going to be at the Expo already we decided to add another race to our schedule. Did I mention that the Expo was at the Wisconsin State Fair grounds? The 5K race was through out the fairgrounds and did a lap around the Miriacle Mile race track. The course was mostly flat and we were able to finish with a decent time of 27:20 giving Kris a good benchmark for the beginning of the season.
After the race we had a nice breakfast at the hotel, took our time getting ready and then geocached in Milwaukee until about 3pm when we had to head back to the cities. Details about our geocaching part of this trip can be read about on our other blog, A Life More Complete.
This coming weekend we are signed up for the Yukon Days 1 mile and 3 mile snowshoe on Saturday morning and the Luminary Loppit on Saturday evening.
Weight lost this week - 1.5 lbs.
Total weight lost - 8.0 lbs.
The one plus this past week was the fact that Kris lost 4 pounds which I had been telling her for the past two weeks that she was doing good and that she was losing weight and would show in week two. And I was right!!!
Multisport Expo:
This past weekend Kris and I traveled to Milwaukee for the 2010 Great Lakes Multisport Expo presented by RACC. This was a great opportunity for us to talk to several race directors and running groups about ZapEvent and what we can do for them, we made several promising contact that I am currently sending follow up emails too.
From a multisport participant point of view, it was really fun to see everything the Expo had to offer but by far the coolest thing had to be the team and individual bike time trials.
