Hi Chicks,

Well today was good and work was pretty good and fun. However, i did not like the number the scale showed me this a.m. (i only count the actual official weigh in day number), but the everyday weigh in helps me gauge how im doing, and I didnt like what it showed me, which basically just motivates me to stay more on track and workout harder.

So today:

Food so far:

Breakfast: 1 tofu dog (45) + ketchup (15), yogurt (60), 1 tbpsp flax (30), 1/2 banana (55), 1/4 cup of cereal (35), ½ cup of berries (30) -270

lunch: tortillas (120), cheese (75), pepperoni (40), salsa (10), spinach (10) -280, pluot (40), and carrots and snap peas (40)- 335

snack: some grapes (40) and some spinach bolani (45)-85

pre-gym snack: 1/4 cup of cottage cheese (45) ¼ cup of berries (15)-60

Dinner: Turkey burger (100), ketchup (30) and large salad (150)-280

Snacks: 1 pack sbd oatmeal chocolate chip cookies (100), 1 good belly drink (50) and two raspberry licorice bites (24) -174

Total so far: 1204–>DONE!!!!!!!!! I stuck to my plan TO THE “T” Today and I’m really proud of myself. I hope it pays off!

Now i’m off to the gym! i’m pretty sore from my full workouts the last two days, so today is just going to be 45 min of cardio (1st day of week 8 of c25k!! AHHHHHHHH! i dont know if i can do 28 minutes, but I sure will try!) and 15 minutes of abs and stretching. I’ll be back later! tata!!!

Workout: DAY 1 of WEEK 8 of C25k COMPLETE +SOME! I ran for 29.5 minutes (ran meaning 4.5) but without stopping! I started at 4.7 for my first song, then lowered it down to 4.5 because I wanted to make sure I didnt burn out, and then I ended my last 3.5 minutes at 4.8! SO, including warm ups, warm downs and a little extra walking at the I did 46 minutes and 3 miles. then i did ten minutes of stretching and abs! So, the run was pretty hard but I did it. The first 10 minutes were easy. And then there were hard spurts throughout, but I never thought of stopping or slowing under 4.5 because then I knew I would have to restart day 1 tomorrow. YAY ME!
