Weekend Recap

Because I felt like I ate horribly on Thursday, I began a food diary on Friday. This really helps me because its one of the things I did during bootcamp and it makes me more aware of what I'm eating. I have done good so far with writing everything down. When I worked out Thursday morning before work, I felt like I ate a ton more than usual during the day. I mean granted it was all healthy food (pineapple, carrot sticks, yogurt, etc) but I still felt like I was hungry the whole day. For dinner that night, I only ate one fish taco. They were soooo good too!

Friday for dinner I ate one brats dog with a bun and baked tater tots with ketchup. I had written earlier that I was going to get up on Saturday before my hair appointment to work out. Well, good thing I called the gym on Friday to make sure they would be open at 6 AM; it turns out they don't open until 7 on Saturdays and Sundays. I was pretty bummed but quickly realized that meant I could sleep a little longer. :-) So anyway, I got up went to my hair appointment, came home, and then hit the gym. I finished under 17 minutes this time only because for the last quarter of a mile, I had a 5.9 pace.

I was pretty good at the game and afterwards Saturday night. So much unhealthy food was calling my name and I politely ignored it. I did eat really late after the game but instead of getting fried chicken wings, I had two fish tacos (one of my new fav foods) and only 2 bbq chicken wings with NO dipping sauce! I was proud of myself. Sunday we ate breakfast at the hotel and when I was full, I stopped eating. It wasn't all that great so that probably had something to do with it. I am a bit nervous about hopping on the scale on Tuesday, only because I feel like I have been eating a lot but like I keep telling myself, its not chips and dips and sodas and things like that that I am eating. We shall see! I need to lose at least two pounds...

Today will be another run/walk day and tomorrow I am supposed to run 1.75 miles so only a quarter of a mile more. I feel like I can do that. I am really loving this training schedule. I keep meaning to talk to some at the gym to help me with some toning and stretch exercises. When I did bootcamp, it was strictly cardio and right at the end, I added a body pump class. Maybe I will do that this time, once the 5K is over, I could focus on toning. I am starting to get more into the running. I didn' realize this was such a big accomplishment for me. Some people may say, gee a 5K ain't nothing, but to me it is. I have never been a runner and I plan on running the entire 3.1 miles. I think I can, I think I can, I think I can...
