Wrong Directions

Wednesday, February 6, 2013

Definitely going in the wrong direction here.  I need to refocus.  Eating a bunch of chips last night pretty much assures that it'll be a day or two yet before I let go of some of the water bloat, and I have to say eating chips and dip makes me feel lousy the next day - might be vegetable oil sensitivity.

Breakfast:  ~ 3 oz salami, 2 slices sharp cheddar, coffee

I need to find a different breakfast.  I noticed a difference in the label this week - dextrose is no longer listed among trace items - instead, it's pork, dextrose, then a list of stuff.  Yuck.  Dextrose is sugar.  I probably won't switch until I eat what I have (which is quite a bit) but I do need to change.  The key is finding something that's quick - grab and go, preferably - but has enough fat to keep me full for five hours or more.  I might have to see if yogurt will be sufficient.

Lunch:  Homemade vegetable beef soup, 2 bubbies dill pickles

Dinner:  Qdoba, usual naked burrito with extra steak

Also:  Chips and onion dip.

Exercise:  C25k week 6, day 1.  Jog 5 min, walk 3, jog 8, walk 3, jog 5.  Made it through, albeit slowly.  Right knee was rather sore during the first segment and I struggled with some inclines during the other jogs, including a nasty one block stretch I've never jogged up previously.  Still probably not moving fast than a 15 minute mile.  I modified the route a bit today due to a very tardy start (sleepy, stayed up too late) and ended up with 2.9 miles in 48 minutes according to the pedometer.

Looking ahead, Friday is the last day of the program that features any intervals -- after that it 's all steady jogging with no walking breaks.  Yow.
