Getting back on TRACK!

I STILL do not have a video camera that works and I can see my posting frequency AND the comments going down without the video.  HOLD ME ACCOUNTABLE: I will have one by this weekend!  So in the mean time I am sharing a pic of me in my new Under Armour gear with my son behind me flexing (just for you Mr. Flo).  

I LOVE Under Armour.  I am going to be a tough B#!%! #%@%! chick in that gear.  Gotta say this new hat is just fabulous and fits to my head perfectly.  I am going to do the TRX workout in it tonight and see how it breathes.  My excuse for the shopping spree.... I need cold weather running gear.  (Yeah don't be like my husband and ask why then I had a short sleeve T shirt in the mix).  :)

OH SNAP has it been a bad week of food and drink and lack of moving the body!  We all fall off the wagon right!?! It is being announced right now that I am moving on to a new opportunity at the day job and that has me running ragged and on non-stop calls.  I am so excited but you know how moving on can always be bitter sweet.  I have only been doing 1/3 of the water I normally do and I am feeling YUCKY.

Running went great last week.  I ran the target schedule and posting on the Daily Mile is helping alot!  I love that people are seeing the distance, frequency, and time.  I struggled hard on the 5 mile run.  I know I am training my breathing and attention span more than my legs.  It helps so much that the hubby ran ahead of me so I couldn't slow down.  BUDDY UP on line and in real life - they are both pushing me.

What do you do to get back on track?  I am starting tonight with TRX but I am also contemplating a juice fast.  Anyone have an experience on kicking off healthy eating with that?  Would love to hear!

Have a kick butt week and Happy Hump Day!!!

I'll do a juice fast. Maybe. Hmmm. I'll get back to you on that one. ;-)

Hey girl, I reckon you are better off just doing a plain 24hr fast. According to ESE the idea behind fasting is to get your insulin levels down to an absolute minimum which will allow all the natural detoxification processes to occur more effectively which will also stimulate fat burning too. Doing a juice fast you will still get some benefit (cleansing) as your body wont have to digest any food during this time but it still will have to process quite a lot of sugar. So i believe in this case you'd get better results without ANY calories in your system. Hope that helps! ;-)

Hey Amy,

thanks for the pic....pretty as usual...;) thanks for the flex of your son, but we wanna see you flex toooooooooooooo ;)) Will we see that in your next video? ;)) *prettyplease* can't wait for it...hehe...;) Mr. Flo

Chelle I was trying to kick start me off sugar. I have been horrible Yep even had an Oreo this week ;) Can't wait to hear your blog on fasting. I was thinking juice b/c it wouldn't bring out so many of the side effects as doing just water... hmmm must think.

Mr. Flo - I will flex when you do :)

Have a GREAT Friday peeps!

Baby step Miss AmyB! In my opinion, you should be focusing on how great you will feel AFTER a normal fast with NO SUGAR in your body rather than focusing on side effects that MAY or MAY NOT occur during a normal fast. While there is a continuous stream of sugar in your body (juice fasting) you will always want to have more, thats why i think you should do a plain fast. Remember its only 24hrs, its no big deal, YOU CAN DO IT GIRL! ... My fasting post is up! ;-)
