Halfway to the Goal

 Last week was a good week of training and dieting again.  I finished up Week 3 of my 5-3-1 program, getting up to a 140 max estimate on the military press.  The weather was nice on Sunday to head out for a solid run, going for a good half-hour of intervals.  I did 90 seconds run, 60 seconds walk x 12 rounds.  On those interval runs, I'll head out and switch back halfway to return back in roughly the same time. We had some pretty cold weather last week, so a lot of my cardio was doing more kettlebell swings.  Those are getting smoother and steadier to keep doing, I can feel the power coming back to me in each workout. 

Dieting went well too, as the daily tracking of calories with MyFitnessPal is really helping me keep a good handle on the diet.  I can enjoy some things but keep the snacks in check or in much smaller servings than before. I hit a good halfway point on the weight loss goals, getting closer and closer to 200 pounds. 

The Plexus products are still helping me with the diet and weight loss goals.  It has been a steady process since I started.  I look back at the month of March and what a difference it is from February til now! I'm moving more, working out more often than before, and feeling lighter as I do it. 

I see the weather should start improving again by the end of the week, and forecasts finally have it going into the 50's next week.  That should make it really nice to get more outdoor activities in, maybe even some bike rides soon.  Looking forward to that happening soon, especially getting on some bike trails once they have the snow melting off of them.
