Apparently I just deleted my last blog, "A Little Feedback", by accident! Oops! In case your wondering where it went...well, ya got me! I'm sure it's floating around in cyber-space somewhere, but I can't find it! I was responding to a readers' comment, and hit the wrong button! I think it is gone forever! Oh well... A side note for my reader, Susan, that was trying to get in touch with me before I deleted my response to her, by accident. Susan, my e-mail address is This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it . Please send me a note...I'd love to get in touch with you. It would be fun to compare notes, since the Ironman will be your first show as well! If anyone else would like to get in touch with me, for whatever reason, please feel free to use the above e-mail address. I will respond as soon as I can... Cardio was off the hook tonight! I usually get on the elliptical and burn about 800 cal per hour, according to the machine. Heart rate is around 150 bpm. Tonight...I rediscovered the wonders of Zipfizz! For some reason, the last two days I have used Zipfizz, I have had great cardio workouts! Tonight, I was on the elliptical for 60 minutes and torched over 1000 calories! It was my personal best workout ever! The only problem is that it's after midnight and I'm writing my blog now, because I'm so pumped from such an awesome workout...I have tons of energy. Too bad I have to get up at 5 am for work. Bummer, gonna be a bit tired tomorrow....but then there's Zipfizz! lol The stuff seems to work for me...good thing Costco sells a big pack of it! So, this coming weekend is 16 weeks out from the Ironman! I know, I know....all you seasoned competitors say that's PLENTY of time! Well, Dave wants me down about another 25 pounds. Yikes! I was 153 today. (I'm 5'6...and used to weight 230 pounds) So, that is just approximately 1.5 pounds per week. Dave is increasing my cardio to 30 minutes in the morning, in addition to my hour of cardio in the evening, 7 days a week 'til showtime! I'm enjoying my last few days of only an hour of cardio per day. It will definitely be a shock to get up at 4 am and start cranking on my spin bike, but I'm thankful to have a piece of equipment in my home that I can hop on, and not have to drive to the gym so early in the morning. I'm not complaining...I will do what needs to be done, just might be a bit more tired until my old body adjusts to what I'm putting it through. I'm starting to listen to songs to see what "grabs" me, for my bodybuilding routine. It's getting fun, knowing in a few short weeks, Dave will be creating a fun routine for me to pose to. I can hardly wait. For me, the posing, practicing my routine and getting my suit, is the icing on the cake! (Hmmm...another mention about cake....I said something about cake in my previous blog...what's up with that? As long as it's cake mix from Parrillo products, then it's all good! Parrillo brownie mix and cookie mixes are keeping me sane right now! They are the perfect "treat"! Ok...time for some shut eye! Sleep is just as important as eating right, working out and bustin' it on cardio! Think On It Next time your doing cardio...do it like you mean it! Bren
