Well, my baby boy turned 7 months yesterday, and I decided to start a journal here. I have lost all the pounds I gained with my pregnancy, but I want to be in better shape. I love to run, bike, hike and lift weight , and have been doing so for years, even during pregnancy. I go to the gym almost every day during my two hour lunch break from monday to friday. I am following a 4 day split routine and doing cardio 3 or 4 times a week, but I might change this soon for variety. My height: 5ī4. Weight: 117 pounds. My goals are to lose a few more pounds and BF, and of course, fit in the black mini skirt I used to wear a couple of years ago.
I have learned a lot reading your journals and the info in this site. I will be so happy if you can stop by my journal to give me advices and inspiration.

Hi Jo,
Welcome to IM. I really admire people who run. I can't stand it ! LOL I ran soooo many steps in High school for football and wrestling that I swore i would never run again after I graduated . LOL
Keep up the good work

I was going to ask why all the cardio but I see that your training for a race 
you need more protein in your diet woman
best of luck with getting into that mini skirt!

Gary and Atherjen, thanks for stopping by. Yes, I am training for a race in september. Usually I race and run road races. I have ran 5 marathons in the last 3 years. Protein, yeah, today I didn't have enough!

Yesterday, I took the day off , only spent about an hour or so walking around my working place during the lunch break, and of course, doing some chores at home after work, washing dishes, floors, clothes, taking care of the kids..... and so on. Well, after all, my rest day didn't look at all like a rest day, ha ha. I went to bed totally exhausted.
Today is leggie day. I am looking forward this workout!
