Day 5/84
Tough! However, that would be normal it's always challenging to change the way you've been doing things for 39 years .......lol...

Today was Back/Triceps "ok" and run 2 miles followed by the stairs....I have to say that's the hardest thing not to do is RUN....
Eating very clean no candy/treats..... I've been looking up and posting so many different recipes with Protein on my Studio Fit Facebook page, they're so good!
Off to make a shake.
Happy Training, Train Smart!
"Perseverance, Persistence, Consistency is the key!

Day 3/84
What a great day, at the Studio at 4:15 am I did heavy legs with 1 min. cardio (running stairs) this afternoon was 30 min. of endurance weights back/bicep.

Eating was really healthy however, I think I ate to many almonds.... oops!

"As I continue to dream big and achieve every goal that I have set forth for myself, I strive to reach to my maximum fitness potential through hard work, dedication, and delivering my best package at my first competition. I do all of this in order to stay humble as well as determined to overcome and defeat all of the obstacles that life presents." ~Danniela Neher :)

Coming back with a new Challenge.....
I've done Ironman's, all kinds of Tri distances, Marathons, Half Marathons, Obstacle Course races time for a BIGGER challenge for me.....

I'm looking at doing a few fitness modeling, fitness competitions "Yep", you read that right.....
The best part about this is I have never wore a two pc. in front of anyone "wait" yes I have in the back yard now my yard is fenced in.....lol...
I'm thinking this will be the biggest Challenge only because of the nutrition, eating more protein and not carbs is going to be extremely different.

I have to share this again! ~There is a difference between 'interest' and 'commitment'. When you're "interested" in doing something, you do it only when it's convenient. When you're "committed" to something, you accept NO EXCUSES, only results. So, here's the tough question: Are you "interested" in a healthy lifestyle? Or are you "committed" to having a healthy lifestyle?

If you need a cookie recipe to feed a crowd of hungry athletes here it is!

If you need a cookie recipe to feed a crowd of hungry athletes here it is!

A HUGE WARNING!
Once you start you will not put them down! I thank my friend Maria from IOWA for getting me addicted to these! "Maybe in a nice positive way"

Here's a easy (well, the stirring is a little arduous) recipe that makes 10 dozen great cookies. A curiosity of the recipe is that it requires no flour at all and an oddly small amount of syrup, given the large quantities of other ingredients.

Monster Cookies
6 Eggs
2 Cups Brown Sugar
2 Cups White Sugar
1 Tbsp. Syrup
4 tsp. Baking Soda
1/2 lb. Butter, softened
1 1/2 lbs. Peanut Butter
9 Cups Oatmeal
1/2 lb. Chocolate Chips
1/2 lb. Peanut M&Ms
Mix ingredients in a large bowl in the order listed. Bake 12 minutes in a 350 degree oven. (Use two cookie sheets, starting with one sheet for 6 minutes, then rotating the sheets from lower to upper rack.) Let cool on sheet for 1 minute then transfer to cookie racks. Makes about 8 to 10 dozen, depending on size and depending if you eat all the dough like I would.

My training has backed off this week. Doing that last marathon in Madison killed my IT bands so taken it easy!
However, back at it this weekend we have a half marathon Rails to Trails. Then I will take it easy for a bit I have to let my body adjust to the pregnancy. My running will still be about 20-25 miles a week.
