"Now if you are going to win any battle you have to do one thing. You have to make the mind run the body. Never let the body tell the mind what to do. The body will always give up. It is always tired in the morning, noon, and night. But the body is never tired if the mind is not tired." - George S. Patton

I think they call this cross training...


So today is an off running day and I have decided it would be best to follow most training schedules that  I see and cross train or walk on my off days. So I went on the eliptical in the gym here today. Elipticals suck btw. I lasted about 5 minutes on it and was so bored I could have cried. I got off the eliptical and went back on my old friend, the treadmill. It was actually hard to restrain myself from running but I did. I cranked the hill elevation up as high as it would go and walked at about 3mph. I was actually sweating REALLY HARD. I did about 12 minutes of that and figured that was enough. :)

So yesterday I started logging the food I eat on www.caloriecount.com . So far it has proven to be EXTREMELY helpful. It makes me think twice about the crap I am putting in my body.

I woke up this morning and decided to weigh myself (which is something I haven't done since I became lazy last week.) Some how I lost 3 more POUNDS! ...but who is counting, right?

    Yay good for you!! I'm an elliptical girl...I dont do well on the treadmill because I hate running so much. St Patrick's Day Dash is going to be interesting this year :/ I'm glad you're using CalorieCount, it's super helpful!
