Well thank goodness January is over. The last six weeks have been the worst stretch of my life mental health wise and I'm glad to move on. While it didn't do my efforts here any favors, I did go out last night, had a couple beers and some good company. Stayed up way too late, making this morning a bit more painful than usual - I didn't quite manage five hours of sleep.
At least the snow wasn't too bad. I was able to get out this morning and other than dodging a lot of plows it was not bad at all. I even get my jogging in.
Breakfast: ~ 3 oz salami, 2 slices sharp cheddar. The usual. No coffee though, didn't set it up last night.
Lunch: Vegetable beef soup, potato chips

Dinner: Chips and onion dip. LOL me.
Exercise: C25K week 5, day 2. Today's mission: 8 min jog, 5 min walk, 8 min jog. I can confirm that I can jog 8 minutes without walking. Not fast, mind you, and it's not pretty, but I got through it. The only negative is that I was trying to estimate my pace - I figure I'm covering about a block a minute which would be something like a 15:00 mile. LOL. Super glad that I have three more months to ramp up.
Shoveled the driveway when I got home. All in all the pedometer claimed 3.75 miles in 1 hour and 4 minutes.
Monday should prove interesting - another big jump iirc to 20 minutes jogging no walking. The distance version is 2 miles, I'll be lucky to cover 1 and 1/3. But the important part remains, building up a base. It's coming, no matter that it's slow.
40.8
