Thighs Rebellious

Slow start this morning.  Tired.  Dragged through exercise.  Dragged self to work.  Not getting much done.  About the best thing I can say is that I'm definitely dropping some of the water weight that accumulated last week ... and it's Wednesday so we're making progress toward the weekend.

Breakfast:  Vegetable beef soup, 2 slices sharp cheddar, coffee

Didn't eat all the soup.  Had some issues with heating it, running late, got fed up, grabbed cheese and left.

Lunch:  Spicy pinto beans with a bunch of deli turkey

Not a standard lunch food for me

I needed something quick so I went with beans instead of bacon and eggs.  This is my batch from this weekend and they were definitely rushed a bit.  Oh well, still good.  The only thing not to like is I now have more dishes to do this evening (lol).

Dinner:  2 jumbo CF eggs fried in a bit of real lard, 5 strips CF cajun bacon, leftover oatcakes

[x] Eggs

Since I had dinner for lunch, I had breakfast for lunch for dinner.  Got that?

Exercise:  C25K week 7, day 1.  Jog 25 minutes.  I made it.  Barely.  No part of this was fun.  The body was unhappy from the start, the usual first mile soreness, followed by something of a groove (though it was always a struggle this morning) until I hit the hill about 14 minutes in, then just try and survive to the finish.  Thighs were particularly cranky, as if saying wtf we push this weight around all the time anyway why make it harder.  Knees OK though.  Pedometer said 3.25 miles (including the usual pre and post walking segments) in just under 53 minutes.  I would guess that I managed about 1.75 miles in my 25 minutes, not sure I can easily pace it in the car to check and it doesn't really matter much.
