More Like It

Friday, March 8, 2013

This morning feels more like it should.  I was in bed by 9:30 last night, got to sleep by 10:00, so I actually got a reasonable number of hours.  Not eight hours or anything but certainly better than the maybe 5 if I'm lucky I have been getting.  As a consequence I was able to motivate myself out the door and all is right with the world.

Officially wondering about my scale.  Hopped on this morning and it gave me a lovely low number ... despite my eating pizza last night.

Breakfast:  Yogurt, coffee

Lunch:  3 egg omelet w/ bacon, cream cheese & avocado; sausage; coffee

Might just have to start referring to this as avocado omelet meal.

Dinner:  McChicken, grilled onion cheddar burger, chips & onion dip.

FAIL.

Exercise:  Now that I'm "done" with the C25K program, I'm doing maintenance and hopefully building up some more endurance.  Oh, and I need to work on increasing speed.  Today's plan was 30 minutes of jogging.  I managed to reset the pedometer just before starting that so I got a reading of 2.12 miles in those 30 minutes.  Happy about that for the most part - I got as far as I expected - but have a ways to go to reach my goal.

It didn't hurt too much.  Once I got past the mental block of the first half mile it was pretty much fine.  And - this might be the best part - for once I felt like I could have continued on at the end of the time.  I don't know if I could have done another entire mile but it's possible.  I was not suffering.  Excited about that.
