An Amazon is born...

This is round #19 of the BLC and it's my second time participating. This time, I am an Amazon. An Amber Amazon Warrior. Our first challenge is to Write It, Move It and Plan It. So far today, I'm on a roll. So now I have to put together a plan for the next 12 weeks.
Here it is:
Nutritionally, I'm going to focus on keeping my fruit and veggie intake high. (5+ servings/day). I'm going to continue consuming a minimum of 64 ounces of water a day. I'm also switching Roo to formula (not challenge related, it's just time) so I'm going to work towards reducing my calories to the 1860 that SP recommends.

Physically, I'm going to continue to run three times a week. I'm training for the Scotiabank HM on May 27, 2012. Consistency is key. I intend to add ST and Yoga to my schedule and, I hope, will do at least one class at GoodLife per week. BodyPump & BodyFlow are such awesome classes.

Emotionally, I'm going to work on NOT eating emotionally. I'm not a "I'm so sad, I should eat a box of Oreos" kind of eater. I'm a "if I don't eat that box of Oreos, I'm going to kick someone in the face" kind of eater. In other words, an angry eater. I still can't figure out what my brain thinks that will solve but it takes me from the peak of anger to "Ahhhh" very quickly. From now on, I'll be trying some deep-breathing exercises and leaving the chocolate & potato chips alone.

So, to recap:
- Eat right and within calories
- Keep running as I have been, add yoga and strength training
- Find a better way to deal with my anger. Food is not the answer.

Hopefully, if I do all this, I'll lose 5% of my current body weight (136.5) in the next twelve weeks. FYI, that's 6.8 pounds. We'll call it 7 just for fun.
