Monday on Track! and a bit of c25k troubles.. (but success in the end!)
General July 21st, 2008I want to REALLY get into the 180s this week, so I’m sticking to my food and exercise plan AS MUCH AS HUMANLY possible!! I’m blogging quickly before I run off to do week 5 of the c25k!
Today I stuck to my food really well:
Breakfast: 1 yogurt (60), 1 tbsp of flaxseed (30), ½ banana (55), and ¼ cup of cereal (35), cup of iced tea (0)- 170
Lunch: 1 chicken apple sausage (110), baby bell cheese (50) carrots and celery (45), plum (30), nectarine (70) -305
Snack: ½ blueberry whole grain muffin (100) and small piece of cakeish bread (65) - 165
Dinner: chicken fajitas, with some rice and corn tortillas (630), two jolly ranchers (47)- 677
After gym snack: kombucha (35) and something else, but i’m not quite sure what, yet.
Total so far: 1347, amount left: 53 (plan: 40 fudgesicle)
C25k update: well, i’m not going to lie. c25k was DEFINITELY a challenge tonight. getting through those 3 5 minute runs was semi painful, but i did do about an extra 3 min or so of running in the end. i also had some technical troubles, in that i went to the gym with about 40 min before it was closing and determined to do my run. so, i took a treadmill that i hadnt used before because the rest were full. not only did I have shoe lace trouble, and have to bend over and fix them without pausing the treadmill (i couldnt find the stupid button), for some reason the treadmill just stopped my run early, and I dont know why. (I WAS SO ANNOYED!) so, i quickly switched over to the treadmill next to me which is the kind I usually use, and I finished my c25k week 5 day 1, with a little extra running at the end. so, all in all, i completed it. but it wasnt without obstacles. so, on wednesday im going to move onto day 2. but, if once i try day 3, i cant do it (WILL I BE ABLE TO? HELP! ADVICE!?) i will just do day 2 again until i CAN do day 3. hmm, any advice from any c25k-ers who have successfully made the jump from day 2 to day 3 of week 5? if so help!
if so help! thanks! overall, not a bad day!

You’re right about those massive jumps in the C25k from 5 to 8 to 20… WTF? But once you hit that 20, you’re going to feel sooooooo good. And, the best part, you can listen to your own minutes and time yourself for 20 minutes. No more techno music. Oh happy day!

Oh my, (big long sigh) Week 5 Day 3! Ahhhhhhhhh how quickly they grow up…sigh.
You’re doing great ya know!
I’m not sure what advice to give you except that for me all of those run/walk segments were more difficult than running for longer periods of time. I find that there are spots in my runs that get very tough, but if I push through like magic it all becomes easier again. You may, if it’s possible, want to slow your pace a bit and see how that goes and then work on speed later on. Find what works for you. Tweak and fine tune if you need to. gOOD LUCK!
Thanks for the nice comment ya made! I’m so over the bad food craze! Thank god it was only one day and I made the most interesting discovery that after not having any big amount of junk for so long, I didn’t like how that food made me feel! The people who live off of that crap must feel horrible all of the time.
I am totally into healthy eating now! If it ain’t no darned good then ah don’t want it!!!
