Holy Mama, what a day. I've been running(figuratively) since the second I woke up this morning and I'm exhausted. Family visits, schlepping cross town, picking up stuff from friends, visiting with out of town guests, and 2 pumpkin pies, 3 challahs and the stuffing. I'm going to attempt to make this short and sweet... we'll see how that goes.
Running:
I didn't get a chance to run until after 4pm this afternoon and worried about how I would feel so late in an already hectic day. Since Lawrence was home this afternoon, I had the good fortune of being able to run all 3 miles alone in the rain and it felt grrrrreat. Because I was alone, I was able to bring my MP3 player along for the run for the first time in a long time.... man I LOVE running to music!! Also, I didn't really time myself, but I think it only took me about 30-ish minutes which I'm proud of. I felt like I ran really strong and hard with the pavement flying under my feet. I think the music helped me along... here's my playlist (minus a few skips):
1) Nina Simone - Funkier than a mosquito's tweeter (5:19)
2) Moxy Fruvous - Spiderman (2:37)
3) Cake - I will survive (5:19) - Twice :)
4) White stripes - Black Math (3:04)
5) Dire Straits - Sulton of Swing (4:24)
Food:
The scale was down another 0.6 lbs this morning which made me really happy, but after checking the scale, I barely had a moment to breathe! I was so busy today, it felt like I aredly ate and when I did I didn't make the best choices. My healthy choices were a hard boiled egg, tomato soup, a bowl of salsa, 2 apples and a banana, but I my unhealthy choices included 2 mini muffins, tomato soup (I had 4 bowls and made it with 2% milk!), the tostitos which went with the salsa, AAAND a Carl's Jr. Single Steakhouse burger (hold the cheese please!). Not to mention the non-boxed glass of wine sitting next to me while I type.... oh well.
I'm going to
I have decided, as motivation for both of us to tell you about my efforts with exercise, eating well, an weight loss in your comments! This is me being a little too shy to have my own blog, but excited about yours.
ReplyDeleteToday: Just barely threw myself out of the house to run at 4:45 pm I suddenly have some running stamina and ran about 3 miles, almost straight through!
Food: Since i was in the car for 5+ hours I basically skipped lunch so I am very low on calories today. basically had oatmeal this morning, candy in the car and making homemade pizza in a little while
scale: I am convinced my mom's scale is just off and have not trusted my weigh-ins all week but hit 156.4 after my run today! so excited for the morning!
WAHOO!!!! I'm makes me really happy to have you to share this journey with me :) 3 miles is no laughing matter and I'm really proud of you. Keep it up!
