Going to Lose: My Weightloss Journey!

14 Aug, 2008

Happy (I hope!) Humpday–>gahh I need a title thesaurus, my titles are the same every week.

Posted by: travelgal In: General

Anyways, I wish I had clever titles. But I dont! Maybe once the school years starts and my days have a lot more of variety and craziness in them, the creative titles will start flowing. but not today. le sigh, no not today.

Food was pretty good, not great today.  BUT I did get to the gym and I completed day 2 of Week 8 of c25k–>BUT in reality I actually finished c25k because I ran for UM 31 minutes! (run of course meaning 4.5 and above, but i ended the last 5 min of running with 4.8 and above). so, now I think I’m kind of “done” with the c25k, and basically my goal from now on is to run (my running, not “Real running”) 3+ times a week for 30 min without stopping and hopefully soon, I will be able to pick up my pace, without dying, to more than 4.5 mph. i think i’m still going to do a couple more runs of 4.5 mph for 30 min, but then i definitely want to pick up the pace, gradually, SOON!  ADVICE:  How do I start picking up my pace while still running 30 min straight, without dying? THANKS.

So Today:

Breakfast:, 1 tofu dog (45) + ketchup (15), ¼ yogurt (30), 1 tbpsp flax (30), 1/2 banana (55)
¼ cup of berries (15) , ¼ cup of cereal (35)-total: 225

lunch: slice of cheese pizza (375) and 1.5 choc chip cookies (175)-550 (argh this was not the lunch I was excpecting a the lunch meeting. usually there is a burrito that is healthier. agh!)

snack:  pluot (40) and big piece of spinach bolani(50), skittles (50)-140 (ugh the skittles were a mistake!)

Dinner: Lean Cuisine (290) salad (110)- 400

Total: 1315–>done, nothing else today–>ugh 100 calories over. lame and before weigh in = hopefully not too bad.

Workout: 46 min on the treadmill, 3.1 miles 31 minutes of “running”. 10 minutes of abs and stretching.  day 2 of week 8 of c25k completed.

Almost thursday! WOOHOO! i have a lot of fun stuff planned this weekend, (along with packing up my apartment), but im really excited!

night chicks!

How do you like the non-meat hot dogs? I have tried the morning start garden patties , and non-chicken patties and they are really good. I am thinking fo trying the vegan hot dogs if you say they are good.
By the way good job kiccking up the workout!

C25k advice. Here’s what I did. Now that you can do 30 minutes at 4.5 mph, go back to doing the intervals from the early C25k days (run 90 seconds, walk 2 minutes etc.), except your WALK time would now be your 4.5 mph jog and your RUN time would be kick it up to 5.0 or 5.3 or whatever you can do. It is brutal but that’s what I have been doing.
