I had a major breakthrough in my training this week. I double-dog-dared myself to push harder, pedal faster, and add more resistance. I decided to step it up. I came to the conclusion that an hour out of my day being a little uncomfortable will lead to 23 hours of feeling more comfortable in my own skin. And I was right. Not only did I gain a little more confidence this week, I gained a little more sleep as well. Good thing since we’ll be losing an hour of sleep this weekend (but who’s complaining?)
Enough about me, let’s SPRING forward and meet…

I have a question, I did the calorie calculator and it said I need 4045 calories!! That’s not right! I am 5′10″ tall and am looking to lose 15 lbs…as quickly as possbile,my guess is about 1700 cals, as I am doing cardio 5x/week and weight training 4x/week. Any tips on what you gals think? Thanks so much! Loving all the blogs!!
We have so much in common, Jess…with the exception of that running thing
.
I have to say I do love Bad Gal Mascara oh, and, So Delicious ice cream bars…a lot!
Thanks again for posting Joanna! Let’s get together soon and share some So Delicious ice cream!
Joanna, nice work this week with your training! I love kicking it u a notch. And I can only imagine all the sleep you’ve been getting!
I love Jess’ “best advice” that rest days are just as important as training. It goes right along with our CNS dicussion that we’ve been having this week. Also, most athletes don’t understand the importance of recovery! Thanks Jess!
Hey Joanna, great job on taking the training up a notch! Love the double dog dare part – another very cool obscure reference (Christmas Story, right?)
