Manic Monday - 8/29


I am BACK!  After a fairly long (3 week?) hiatus I am returning to eating well, working out and blogging.  I have actually not been eating that bad and have been exercising pretty regularly training for my 5K that I was supposed to run on Saturday.  Well, after some disappointing runs and a twist of the ankle two days before the run I decided to scrap the running.  I didn’t care too much about the actual race; it was just good to have a goal of some sort to keep me exercising.  I haven’t lost any weight in the last couple of weeks… but I haven’t gained either so I figure I am not too far off!   

Here is how I did today!

Food: Today I started back on South each Diet Phase 1 again.  I followed it strictly.  No carbs of any kind.  I always feel so tired the first day but by day 3 feel great… I can’t wait until day 3 J

Supplements:  Prenatal, calcium chew, 2 omega 3’s

Drinks: Lots of water and LOTS of iced tea

Exercise: Aaron had the idea to start running intervals (that is how he increases is speed and stamina).  Plus, I have read that doing that burns more calories so I tried a new interval program today.  Walk 1 minute, jog 2 minutes, and run as hard as I could for 1 minute.  I did it 4 times and was TIRED!

Thoughts for Thursday - 8/4/11


Well, I have been slacking in the blogging department.  An impromptu weekend away and taking care of things when we came back is a terrible excuse, but it is the only one I have.  This weekend I pretty much ate what I wanted (i.e. Adventureland food), but this week I have been fairly good.  I weighed myself yesterday and I am down a pound, which is good considering what I ateJ  I ran yesterday and it felt really good!  But with my foot pain from the run I am out from running today.  

Here is how I did today:

Food: 31 WW Points Plus

Supplements: Prenatal, 2 tsp Benefiber, calcium chew, 1 fish oil

Drinks:  Water and iced Tea – didn’t count today

Exercise: I took it easy today, I have a lot of foot pain todayL
