Leeda: Running in a Fat Suit

I’ll love myself tomorrow. Oh what the heck, let’s start tonight. I ate a lot of crap, but like BoSoxFan said, time to dust myself off. I’ve decided to go ahead and start week 5 of C25k. Unlike the previous weeks, this one is different for each day of the week and the last day is just a 20 minute run (yikes!!) The first day doesn’t look that bad. It goes like this:

Brisk five-minute warmup walk, then:

• Jog 1/2 mile (or 5 minutes)
• Walk 1/4 mile (or 3 minutes)
• Jog 1/2 mile (or 5 minutes)
• Walk 1/4 mile (or 3 minutes)
• Jog 1/2 mile (or 5 minutes)

I think I can do this, I’m just going to have to get out there early. The heat is a real exercise deterrent. That’s all for now I  will post my results in the morning.

Today was terrible. I ate like a pig and now I feel like one. I think it started when I didn’t exercise like I planned. Though I am ashamed to post this, here is all that I ate today. And it’s a lot, but I have to own up to it.

bowl of raisin bran

big plate of spaghetti

lean cuisine meal

another big plate of spaghetti

a huge chunk of watermelon

a slew of diet sodas

a tuna sub, chips, and 3 chocolate chip cookies

a lollipop

WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME? Why did I do this today? I’m not feeling a huge amount of stress, I just feel tired. Argh, I’m starting tonight instead of tomorrow. I’m going to drink lots of water and do some housework. Maybe that will make me feel better. Tomorrow I do groceries and start eating like I know I should again.
