Day 2 and 3

Well its Day 2 of the Iron Week and Day 3 of the Biggest Loser. I think that all this biking is going to kill me. Saturday I did my 20 mile bike ride in 76 mins and today it only took me 66 mins. So I improved there and actually shave about 2 mins off my run as well. I had to go slower with the 2nd part of my run because I split it in 2. I ran 2 and then biked 20 and then ran 2. So maybe tomorrow I will just run 4 and then bike 20 and not have to worry about my jello legs having to run after.

I usually work out for an hour a day on normal weeks and in that time I can burn usually 700 cal if I am really going. But Sat and Sun I have been at the gym for 2 hrs and I have run a total of 8 miles and biked 40 miles. CRAZY!!! I have burned at least 1300 calories per workout. I know that's insane. I've only ever done that one other time. (Back when I was skinnier and could run 5 miles at a time)

Some of you might not think that is too insane but it is for me since in the last couple weeks I have only burned about 600 per workout. I'm kind of liking it though. I feel like I'm gonna lose this weight in no time. And after I complete the Iron Week I know that I will be happy that I completed it. I'm gonna try and get it done in a total of 24 hrs or less. (which is what the real Iron Man is done in) I don't know how they can do that. I will probably be able to do it in 24 hrs but that's with sleeping at night and being able to eat all my meals. Those athletes that do it in 24 hrs are insanely fit!

The diet is going good. I haven't been starving and I have made myself a menu for 2 weeks and plan to make the other 6 weeks worth of menus soon. probably after this Iron Week is over. So far I've been too busy to be hungry so that is good.
