Another good few days! I didn’t get a chance to update yesterday because I was at First Aid and CPR training. I can now save your life! Woot!
Feb 10/09:
B: 1/3 cup all bran buds + 100g yogurt, coffee
S: Banana bread
Ex: 30 mins Curves
L: Mixed green salad, yogurt
S: Apple
D: ¼ of rising crust pizza, milk
H20: 2L
Feb 11/09:
B: 1/3 cup all bran buds + 100g yogurt, coffee
S: Banana bread
L: Swiss Chalet ¼ chicken white with Fries – YUM!!!!, diet Pepsi
Ex: 40 min run – dragging my butt! I still did 5.15 km though. I think I was feeling the lack of food. I hadn’t ate since about 2pm
D: ½ cup pasta with broccoli and chicken – leftovers from my mum… it was great!, grapes
H20: 2L
I won’t get 15k in this week as per the plan! I am going away this weekend and so my Saturday run will not take place. Oh well. My calves are REALLY feeling the pinch of such consistent running and speed, but I’m sure that I’ll get used to it before too long. When I try to run at a pace I considered fast a month ago, it now seems super slow! So yippee for progress!

I must be hitting a plateau in my inspiration/willpower. I have no desire to do any kind of workout anymore and I don’t really care about my cheats. Ah well, what can I do? I have managed to motor onwards. I guess I’ll have a breakthrough again. I betcha that mid-February is when all of those fitness related New Year resolutions get shelved. I can totally see why it happens. The winter is just d r a g g i n g along and the workouts just seem like another part of the drudgery. Well, I will not fall suspect to that trap! My eating may not be the best, but I’m determined to get to the end of those tickers!
B: Cheerios and All Bran Buds, coffee
L: Peanut butter sandwich on whole wheat
S: Grapes, yogurt
D (at my parents): Baked pork chop, potato, corn, jello (lime! Yum!), 2x oatmeal-chocolate chip cookies, tea
Ex: 40 mins on the treadmill, about 5.15km. I pushed the stop button with about 5 minutes left! So disappointing! I did try a different tactic in that I ran at 6.0 during the commercials and then ran at 5.0 during the programming. I don’t think this would work when watching sports, but it is okay during shows like LOST which I was watching. I’m just working to improve the 5km time now and I’m employing some tips I read about online. I’ve also decided to get new orthotics and new running shoes. I can’t get in to see my podiatrist until March, but that gives me time to save for the shoes. My goal is to be able to run outside without shin splints. A friend of mine is keen to do a 5k race, so I’m looking at something in the spring. There is a great one on April 4th, but I already have plans! Oh well, I’m sure 5k races are not that hard to find, especially in the GTA.

A good day overall. I’m going on a work trip to Vancouver at the end of February and I have a few mini-goals set to meet before that trip
1) lose 5lbs – I don’t know how I’m going to accomplish this without a MAJOR overhaul of my eating habits so I guess I’m going to have to suck it up and get in line at the salad bar
2) do not drink until we land in Vancouver. This should be easy so long as my social calendar remains relatively blank as it is now.
B: Oatmeal, flaxseed, golden sugar, blueberries
EX: 30 min CURVES
S: coffee
L: Leftover curried beef stew with chickpeas, carrots, onion, celery
S: Yogurt
D: Curried cauliflower soup, multigrain roll with butter, Caesar salad, ¼ granny smith apple (sharzies with my kid)
S: I ate something… chocolate? I can’t remember
H20: Over 2L
Jan 28/09
So I made those mini-goals on this day and started to do something about it (kinda – see my weakness later in the evening)
B: Oatmeal, flaxseed, golden sugar, ½ apple
S: Coffee, yogurt
EX: 30 min CURVES
L: Ham on a multigrain roll, yogurt
S: Handful of Almonds
D (Ate at my parents as hubs went to spinning class): Chicken goulash – chicken breast, carrots, rice, noodles. Jello, 1x chocolate chip cookie, tea (I have NO control when I’m with my folks!)
EX: 25 min run on the treadmill for 3.22km
S: Chocolate marshmallow Santa thing from my kids stocking. It was stale. Handful of rice crackers
H20: Over 2L
So, I know where I go wrong – night snacking! I honestly do not think I do very badly with eating. I dunno, maybe I should track my stuff on a website or something. BAH! I get the less in, more out concept. I just need to get on board I guess.
