Weekend Only Running Until January

I have decided to focus on biking and the elliptical for my cardio and factor in 30 minute weight sessions a few times a week through the end of the year. Why?

1. I need to tone the fuck up. Even though I've lost weight (and gained some back) I still look fat in pictures because I'm SOFT. I don't want to be soft. I don't want to be hard but I don't want to feel like the pillsbury dough boy either(there's a dirty joke in here somewhere).
2. Apparently, you burn more fat when you life weights.
3. I need a break before I start training for the Ragnar Relay.

I was hoping for a much longer list but whatever. There it is. I think just doing 30-45 minutes a day is what I can fit in with the holidays. Also, it's fucking WINDY here in the am. Cold, I can deal with. Wind and cold? Not so much. So weekends will have a few runs on the weekends of 3-4 miles and leave it at that. What are your holiday workout plans? I think holidays are the worst for workouts between all the dinners and time you're squeezing in with friends and family. If only those were considered workouts.

Today did not go as planned...plus, cardio playlist!

Weight: 163.8

Workout: 30 minute bike, 30 minute walk

Food Diary:

Breakfast: Multigrain cheerios with starwberries

Snack: 2 servings of Quakes and Crystal Light lemonade

Lunch: Lean Cuisine pasta of some sort

Snack: Baked Lays- 2 servings (shit is addictive)

Dinner: 6 Totino's pizza rolls and salad with tomato, cucumber, feta and ranch

Okay- I made the mistake of stopping at the grocery store while I was hungry for a snack so I fell off the wagon if you will. The good news is...I wanted the entire bag of chips and every pizza roll but contented myself with 2 servings of chips and 6 pizza rolls. Plus, I decided I didn't want to work out but forced myself to head to the gym and ride the bike (where I could get some reading in as well.) I'm working overtime tonight so right now before I head back, I am planning a new cardio playlist. After work, I will go walk 30 minutes.
