Ready…Set…GOAL!

We made it!

My last large goal was to complete the Spartan Beast race ~ it is a 21km obstacle race that took place up at Sun Peaks Ski Resort.  Here is the information for the 2014 race ~ check it out! http://ca-en.spartanrace.com/event-details-32  Once I successfully completed that race I took a couple weeks off in terms of had a couple "indulge" days (aka. "cheat" days but I don't like the word "cheat" because to me you are not cheating…you are simply enjoying something that you don't regularly have).  Either way I have strayed a little off course and am looking to get back on track like I was.  I pretty much went from January 6, 2013 until Sept 28, 2013 being very strict on my eating habits, working out 4 to 6 times a week, and limiting my "indulge" days greatly.  It was nice to take a bit of a break and relax ~ working out 3-4 times a week.  And I think my body appreciated a little rest, especially after the Beast! A little over a month and a half have gone by and I have mostly just "maintained" my current weight.  Where do I want to be in 3 months you ask?  Well I would love to jump back into my 60 Day Challenge mode with keeping workouts to 4-5 days a week.  Mainly restricting some indulgences (sorry french vanilla cappuccino!) and sticking to super healthy.  Another aspect of my life that I have to keep in mind is I am still breastfeeding my son (thought he would move on after a year but turns out he has different plans!)  I am completely okay with continuing to breastfeed but I cannot restrict calories as one could if they weren't feeding a babe.  During the 60 Day Challenge I was also breastfeeding so I know I can keep my calories at a healthy level and really put the focus on getting the most effective workouts in.  In terms of weight I would like to drop about 15 more pounds ~ lose more inches ~ and cut a couple more % of body fat.  If I didn't drop as many pounds as I am looking at dropping but the inches have changed and the body fat has changed I would be completely fine with that!  I am a muscular girl by nature so it's all good!  I would like to do the Spartan Beast again and see if I can beat my old time ~ hmmm…something to train for?  I think so!
