Feeling the Burn

Happy Tuesday! Week 2 of Operation Beach Body in full effect. Hitting the gym hard, testing out some new recipes to keep me full and trying my best to stay away from the candy dish. So far, so good. I got a fancy new watch from my hubby for Christmas, life has been so busy lately I had not even opened it up so I took advantage of the nice weather this weekend and we hit the slushy trails for a family jog to test it out. Oh how I have missed outdoor activities!!!! When it goes from -9 degrees up to 60 you would think it was summer. We were at the driving range hitting golf balls by the end of the day wearing Tshirts!

My running team = Cardio+Resistance training!

I don't think the little one is going to be in a stroller much longer so we need to get him going on the bike, then I am going to have to start running a lot faster!

My goal with this watch is to record my calorie burn so when I am keeping track of my food I can balance it with what I am burning. Also it's a great way to make sure I am actually working hard...no sense in getting up before 5am if you are not going to push it hard! I found a way to set it up that I can keep track of my calories when I'm running or indoors taking a class. Finally I can keep accurate count of how much I'm burning so I know if I can eat a little more :)  Monday's early morning workout class, pushing myself as hard as I could, and I burned 510 cals in an hour! I thought that was pretty sweet.
