Run Your Butt Off

I have started reading my next book on running.  It is called Run Your Butt Off.  I am a couple of chapters into it already, and I really like it.  It talks about the same principles of starting running slowly.  Here is what the book looks like:

This  book also talks about creating a calorie deficit in order to lose weight.  I have decided to use My Fitness Pal since it is free!  Today was my first day of tracking the calories.  Granted, I am only half way through the day, but it has not been so bad. 

I have an 8:00 appointment for running tonight that I plan on keeping.  In addition to that, I have to start training for the Warrior Dash so I decided to do Jillian Michaels' workout DVD Shape Up Front. 

This DVD incorporates strength training with cardio so I thought it would be a good place to start.  I did that this afternoon, and I had sweat dripping off my face.  Oh my word.  This DVD is tough, but when I did it several years ago, I remember that it does work.  I am hoping this will help me build strength so I can be a kick butt Warrior in August! 

I have to go to a meeting at church now.  You know what this means...the Run for God bible study will be starting soon!  Yippee!  Have a great day!
