Week 1 Cardio Results

I've kept at the cardio all this week making it in 5 of the last 6 days (headed there this afternoon as well when I am open for lunch) and have burned ~3100 calories.  Feeling better overall and pleased to see that I've been consistent.  Today's plan is to get on for a solid 45 minutes.  I'm finding that I am not really getting into the heart rate zone that I want to until about 14 or 15 minutes into the workout so today should be a nice challenge.

Following cardio today I have a nice little WOD planned in the garage:

WOD
1000 m row
100 double unders
50 box jumps

Should be a great way to get moving for the weekend when I plan to head to Vail tomorrow to take advantage of all of the new snow that we have gotten.

Added cardio to workouts

I decided to up my cardio quite a bit. I am heading to the club each day to take advantage of their cardio equipment. So far I have made it in each day for a week and spent anywhere from 30-45 minutes on the elliptical. Good and easy way to burn off 500-700 calories. Read so,we here hat you need a 1,000 calorie deficit to drop 2 lbs per week. This in conjunction with my no snacking rule (it has been rough) is hopefully the new norm. Would like to drop a good 30 lbs of fat before the summer gets here. Plenty of time of course.

WODs are looking good also. Still lacking on the motivation side. But, I did have my 2 year anniversary at the box. Thanks again for the initial inspiration John D.
