Did not have a great sleep last night and I tossed and turned for a long time. On the plus side perhaps that will mean I'll have good sleep tonight as it's usually Sunday nights are tough for me because I fly so early the next day and live in perpetual fear of missing the plane. At 1am I considered getting up and taking melatonin but then couldn't be bothered to get out of bed.
I got up around 7am and did my laundry and had a bowl of oatmeal with 1 tbsp of brown sugar and hand full of blueberries. I finished off the laundry and then had an activia yogurt as my morning snack. I then headed to the gym and did a few errands. I've been meaning to return something at Walmart for weeks and typically I walk right past it when I head out but today I was going to return it plus I had to mail a letter.
I strapped on the Garmin and walked to Walmart, paused it when I was in the store, headed back out toward the mailbox and turned it back on. I then went to the gym, paused the garmin and switched the foot pod from my outside runners to my indoor runners. I then hit the treadmill for day 3 of 2 min running and 3 min walking. Oy vey it was tough today. I did 9 sets and got off the treadmill at the 50min mark and then walked home. In total 99 min of activity today.
I kept chanting "I am Strong" or "168 (the elusive weigh in that I've hit once for 5 minutes" or simply "You can do this". I suppose I was tempting fate a bit by doing two days in a row as usually the C25K plans have a day off in between in the first week - I think.
Got home and made 2oz of Smart Spaghetti with 1/2 a cup tomato sauce. I also made an RSP contribution just under the deadline. I knew it was soon but I wasn't expecting that soon. My afternoon snack was Liberte Moka yogurt and I actually measured it out on the scale so I could track it accurately as opposed to eating it out of the container which I normally do.
Tomorrow if I get access to a treadmill at camp I'll just walk or get on the spin bike. Then on Tuesday I'll atttempt run #4 and try running for 2.5min with 2.5 walking. I'm not following any specific plan just trying to play with it. There was a girl next to me running at 6.3 for half an hour straight and at one point I looked at here and thought "I will be you". Though I will take a little look online for a c25k training schedule so I'm close.
Day 2 of being completely on plan and I for sure can obliterate that gain at Saturdays weigh in. My eye is on the prize.
I hope you all had a fabulous Sunday.
Hugs!!!
Once our snow disappears (again and for good!) I'm going to give Couch to 5K another shot. You're inspiring me!
ReplyDeleteP.S. You are strong!!!
ReplyDeleteI write "I am strong" in my WW 3 month journal pages on days that I know are going to be tough. It really does help to see it every time I open it. I use lots of pretty and bright colours so it jumps off the page at me.
Great workout! You're on the right track :) I love your attitude!
