Making Great Strides In the Right Direction!

I end up going out on the track and running about 1.5 miles while I waited for my daughter to finish basketball practice last night. I did not do any formal exercise today...I just took the stairs instead of the elevator and parked further away from the office. So far so good with my eating...I've decided to only weigh myself once a week so that I don't become a slave to the scale. I think Friday will be my day to weigh in day. This will let me see my accomplishment over the week and kind of keep me on track over the weekend. So far my eating has been good over the last few days...I'm really thinking about what I put in mouth.

HAPPY MONDAY EVERYONE!

I've been up since 3 a.m. I don't know why I'm so restless tonight....anyway I decided to get onthe scale and I'm so disappointed in what it displayed. It's time for me to step my game up and get these 10lbs off. I know I have been very relaxed with eating carbs lately so that will come to a halt today. I will walk for 30 minutes during lunch and try and go for a run tonight. I will also increase my water in take. And I will cut out my snacks.


Here is my purpose Menu

Breakfast
Bacon and Eggs

Lunch
Ham and Cheese

Dinner
Pot Roast

I DID IT!!

I completed my first 5k with a time of 41:33.20 It's not the best but I crossed the finish line and I'm so Excited! I will continue to work on my running and getting my time down. The weather was about 40 degrees but over all it was a great run.

Not the BestQ

I've been under the weather and have not had a chance to trainf. I did speed walk for 30 minutes during lunch on yesterday. It's raining like cats and dogs here in VA today...hopefully, I will be able to go running this evening.

Let's Do This

The weather here in Va is still cold but I did manage to go for a 20 minute run after work. Overall I think I did well. I will map out the distance in the car tomorrow...I can not find my pedometer. Hopefully, I will be able to go out again tomorrow. I'm scheduled to run my first 5k on Feb 2nd. I know that I'm not ready but I'm going to go out and do as much as I can. I will cross the finish line! My eating was okay today...I back to lowering my carbs...I really want and need to drop a few pounds. I know that it will happen once I get consistent with my training. I can't wait until the weather breaks.

NOT A GOOD WEEK!

I've had the worst week as it relates to exercise. I have been putting in 10 and 12 hours days and by the time I get home I'm so tired. And when I get up in the morning I had no energy. I have been on point with my eating so that's one positive. I really need to get on the ball because I have that 5k in a little over two weeks. I know that I will be able to run the entire thing...but I will do as much as I can...my main goal is crossing the finish line. Well, I'm tired so I need to hit the sack. I'm sure next week will be much better.

HAPPY MONDAY!

Today, I began Week 2 - Day 1 of Body For Life. I had a great lower body work out this morning and I went for a 1 mile run at the Track. I wanted to do more but when I got to the track it was almost dark and I did not feel safe being out there alone. I will shoot for more tomorrow. My eating was okay today...however, I can and need to make big improvements with my water. This really seems to be my downfall at the time. I wish push for more tomorrow.
