I made a decision over the week-end that I was getting too fat and that I needed to start up with my cardio again.  My feet are 100% better from the triathlon and I actually sort of missed the intensity of running.  I was surprised too, but I am going to be in the Race for the Cure which is the foundation which supports Breast Cancer research.  My employer is sponsoring a team so I joined in and I’m really excited about it.

Ideally, I’m hoping to beat my time of 25:58 which is what my time was for the running portion of the tri.  This race is also 5K.  Anyway, it is great motivation for me to keep up with my cardio and get back in the saddle, so to speak.

I hope to keep at the weight training but I also want to focus on running or other type of cardio as I enter a phase of cutting.  I also got some Lipo6, which is a really good fat burner.  I’m just waiting for it to come from bb.com

Thanks for reading and keep lifting…

My updated Training/eating Routine:

• 7:45      AM:  wake up and eat 1 banana, 1      tablespoon of organic peanut butter, 1 cup of coffee with splenda and 2 oz      of milk (sometimes I have 2 cups of coffee if I’m really tired) and a      protein shake (4oz. milk, 1 scoop of whey, 29g protein total)

• 10:30      AM - meal 2: 1/2 cup oatmeal sprinkled with 2 tbsp of flax meal, 2 oz. of milk and a banana; 1 protein      shake
• 12:00      PM – diet soda to suppress my appetite until 1:00 PM
• 1:00      PM - meal 3: usually a turkey sandwich (7-grain bread, 6 oz. of turkey, 1      oz cheddar, Lettuce, Tomato, Onion) or chix and broccolli

• 3:30      PM - meal 4: protein shake, apple or other fruit, 1 oz. of almonds
• 6:00      PM - meal 5: PBJ on whole wheat bread (organic PB and organic spreadable      fruit) and cottage cheese flavored with pineapple.  Sugar-free      popsicles or no-sugar-added, low fat ice cream for desert.
• 7:00      PM – whey serving
• 7:05      PM - pre-w/o energy.  N.O.      Xplode
• 7:30      PM - weight training at gym, 1 minute rest between sets, 1 ½ minutes for      legs
• 8:30      PM - post workout creatine serving , then cardio(30 minutes on the      bike) or abdominals
• 9:00      PM - MEAL 6: protein shake, but this one has more umph to it.  8 oz.      of milk and 1/2 scoops of whey so about 44g of protein and 15g of carbs.

Hopefully this new routine will work?!?  Any feedback?
