Yardwork=Good Workout According to HRM
Hi! So yesterday I worked my tail off doing yard work, power washing and staining our deck and steam cleaning carpets. I was curious so after an hour and a half went by I put my HRM on for the next 3 1/2 hours. According to the monitor I burned 2286 calories. That seemed high to me so I only logged 1143 of them (half).…

Run to Wrigley!
Hi - finished a 5k run today at Run to Wrigley and I decreased my time by 45 seconds per mile finishing the race in 32 minutes. I really wanted a solid 10 min mile and got a 10.25, down from 11 mins. It gives me something to keep shooting for. Had a blast! Yahoo!

Two Kahlua Drinks sent me over the top!
Yikes! Who knew? I obviously did not have a clue how much sugar and calories Kahlua had in it. Boy did I blow it by having two drinks tonight....Kahlua and milk (fat free) Even the fat free milk didn't make much of a difference. Live and learn. It was yummy but won't be happening again in the near future.
