This big fig was one of the funniest, most disturbing we found. Just digest it for a moment.Happy Monday, team!
You know, today I feel good. Yes, I've been lax lately, but with the new color, and the new links, and the forthcoming FIRST REGISTRATION of a race (you'll see later this week) - I feel like I've finally got my head on straight.
Exercise: Today the rains have returned to Seattle, for about a week. But since this is Vern Week I had to make sure I was ramping up for my 5 miler on the weekend. So I headed out to the gym, where I did a nice steady 20 minute treadmill workout at 4.0mph. It felt good, but a little pressure in my left shin. Have to stretch better.
Food: Here's today's plan -
B: Quaker High Fiber Oatmeal w/ smart balance light; 1 cup cottage cheese w/ splenda; 2 slices high fiber oroweat toast with sugar free preserves.
L: Hillshire Farms Turkey Breast Sandwich w/ fat free mayo, tomato, and oroweat bread; 1 apple; 100 calorie pack snack.
D: WW Oven Fried Chicken Strips; WW Caesar Salad; Steamfresh Veggies.
Dessert: Some form of Skinny Cow ice cream treat.
Now - if I can STICK to that - I'll be golden. That's been my problem lately - sticking to it. But if I post it here, you guys will hold me accountable, and if I admit I messed up, you'll all remind me of my plans. So by posting it, I'm attempting to solidify my success. :)
Speaking of which - how are YOU trying to solidify your successes? What's next on your plate? What are you training towards?
MAIN STREET AWAITS!
On "day 0" you wrote, "So - here we are - a Monday. And I'm calling today, day ZERO. Why?
ReplyDeleteEvery monday will have a new number. Remember, my goal is to lose another 40 pounds before the RnR half marathon. So every monday, the number will go up. It will represent how far along that path I have gotten.".
I'm assuming today is "day 1", yet I can't find the "new number"...
One thing I do to help myself when I want to stray from my daily eating plan is to down a 16 oz water...it fills you up and kills the craving for a while. :-)
ReplyDeleteYou're doing 5 miles for Vern as well? Okay, so now I'm going to kick it up and do 5.1 or so... LOL
Not sure what I'm training for yet, my feet/lung issues have me tentative on planning any kind of race prior to the temps coming up a bit. I'm aiming for the Hartford 1/4 marathon on April 4, but haven't committed yet. Ultimately, everything for this year is about the Hartford FULL marathon in under 4hrs, but I'm waiting to kick up the training till my feet are really ready. Hopefully in a week or two.
Ahh I missed Mike's comments. ;) I am sorry to say that I have not been able to keep my food intake in order. Too much has happend since returning from the race and I have not been able to turn things around. I know in time I will though.
ReplyDeleteI try to write everything down for the next day the night before. It helps keep me on track knowing just what I'm going to consume.
ReplyDeleteMy next training for event is almost here - the Princess Half. Eight days until I leave and I think I'm getting a cold. Figures :)!
Ok well I know you hace a ipohne and why don't you use the loose it app to track your meals. It works great and it tracks your exercise. As long as you put it in. So
ReplyDeleteya know I haven't been around lately and you seem to need a cyber butt kick.
You need to get moving and get serious so you can beat your time for your next mile stone.
