Logged in three actual hours of snowboarding in My Fitness Pal .... guesstimated it at 1900 calorie burn! Holy crap! Felt like i lost 5 pounds just sweating off the weight in the loft. haha. What a damn great day to ring in the new year. Fantastic. I am so stoked.0

Oh man, that totally blows. I know what its like to have to work though....I'm making it happen this year...just been waiting on the snow to cooperate. It's been in the forties and fifties here, so the midwest resorts have been struggling, but we'll get it.
SATURDAY:
CARDIO:
Ran outside on my road today in the 37 degree cold. Felt amazing....went about 2.5 miles in 20 minutes, which is great for me. I even felt like I was going slow, but that's a faster speed than I normally clock on the treadmill, so I'll take it for now. Estimated burn 236 calories.
FOOD: Low in calories so far, but am going to a NYE party tonight. Don't plan on snacking too much though...not really interested. Want to get back on my restrictions.
ASSESSMENT: Still have room to make up for my HUGE deficit yesterday....Hope I can kick this body back into gear...I'm determined to lose those last five pounds in my original goal. But either way, I had a HUGE NSV yesterday with my snow pants...bought them four months ago and couldn't barely zip them up. When I put them on yesterday they were loose in the waist band. It made me really take notice of how much change my body has gone through because daily I don't see it. I felt great, felt like I belonged somewhere, and definitely noticed all of my efforts are paying off in my muscle and body stamina. All in all, a great start to the new year.0 -
MAJOR NSV ALERT!!! Copies of my two most recent comments:
Oh and WAY under my food goals for the past two days...HUGE burns, HUGE deficits...and a helluva lot of fun. What a way to ring in the new year's resolutions....Time to get back at it hard. Went to a party and only had sparkling grape juice [no alcohol!], a couple tortilla chips, five pepperoni/cheese/crackers and a tiny slice of spinach flatbread. I feel so good about resisting the temptation of the chips and cookies and god knows what else. And then I danced it all off. FINALLY back where I need to be in my head and my conditioning....My body feels great [other than the bruises and blisters!] GREAT NIGHT!
Oh my gosh, i am SO SO stoked! Who gets to spend their New Year's Weekend snowboarding and dancing? This girl!!! GREAT burns all around, compliments all around, new friends and new contacts, new support and new respect...it feels so great to have so many people believe in me. I couldn't have had a more uplifting, affirming weekend. I know I love this, because I just found out I could love myself.....Happy New Year!!!!!!! Thanks for all of your support! I love my mfp friends!0 -

Happy New Year and New You! Start for many on a new journey and hopefully everyone sticks with it! I'm not doing much personally today but resting after a crazy weekend! Just want the 49ers to win so they can get a bye next week, so I'll be watching NFL today for most of the day!
Cardio: NONE
Strength: NONE
Assessment: Last day of kicking it around!0 -
"Rest day" today. If you can call not enough sleep and working 8-hour shift restful....Started assessing the bruises, blisters and sore muscles the weekend left me to deal with...haha. But I'm thrilled to see and experience just how much my muscle stamina and overall fitness level has increased by leaps and bounds since I went into my training program. Sticking with it...hitting the gym hard this coming week.0
