Busy Bee

Yes it's true, I have been a busy bee today! I have been working out consistenly while on my running hiatus! Today, I went to the Mommy Work out center to work out since it was just too cool and windy to have the baby out on our walk. I really enjoyed myself and got a chance to see how my baby girl interacts with other kids whithout mommy standing by. I  have been away from my blog more days that i would like but this way I feel like I have more to talk about. Sunday, I was listening to a podcast from Jillian Michaels' radio show and she suggested that everyone have a heart rate monitor with a calorie calculator as the most useful work out tool, for those of us trying to lose weight. She made some very good points, so I went out and purchased one. I love having a calorie counter even when I am walking. I haven't quite figured out what is best for me as far as target heart rate. I need to do more research, it just seems so confusing to me when I read about cardio vs. fat burn. If there is anyone out there that gets it, Please explain it to me. Last week I started the push up challenge and I am happy to report that I completed week 1. I am so proud of myself. Week 2 starts tomorrow. Two more weeks and I will able to run again! Lately variety has been good for me while trying to stay active. Last but not least, I am still preparing for my first 5k race and i am so excited to be a part of something so important! If anyone out there is *listening* please feel free to donate to a great cause. Thanks for reading see you next time!
