Workout update

I completely forgot to write about my workout yesterday.  I completed workout 1 of week 5.  It was hard but good!  I'm looking forward to tomorrow's!

Weigh In Day 3

212.2 pounds this morning.  That makes me feel better.  Although, I didn't eat very much yesterday.  I hope Monday's weight was a fluke and today's is more in-line with reality.

Food report day 2

I had a few bites of my son's waffles, quite a bit of OJ, an energy bar before my run, and a banana and peanut butter after my run.  I had a salad, a piece of garlic bread, and spaghetti for dinner.  I had tea and a bit of chocolate after dinner.

Unpleasant weigh in

It said 213.8 pounds this morning.  I guess I ate more snacks at the party yesterday than I thought.  I also woke up this morning with a terrible cough, a stuffed up nose, and watery eyes.  Super.

Food for today

I had pancakes and bacon with milk and orange juice for breakfast.  For a snack I had pistachios and a coke.  I had various snacks at the super bowl party including chips and queso and crackers and crab dip.  I also had about 1.5 beers.  Not healthy food, but not a ton of food either.  Tomorrow I'd like to eat healthier.

Weigh In Day

212.6 pounds.  I didn't lose the 2 pounds I was going for.  So, daily weigh ins and reporting my food intake on here.  That should be interesting with the Super Bowl party today with fabulous food.

Catch up

I forgot to write about my workout on Wednesday.  I did it in the morning and I completed the whole thing.  It was really rough, but I finished.  Today I did workout 3 of week 4.  I changed up the speed work to start out for the first 3 minutes and I ran at 6mph for the last minute of the workout.  I think I'm just going to focus on running for an extended time at 5mph from now on instead of also trying to increase my speed.  I need to be able to run 3.1 miles for the 5K on March 24th.  I'm on schedule to do that, but running faster for longer at the beginning of every workout is going to start interferring with my couch to 5K progress.
I was feeling really confident in my progress this week because I've kept up the running and I was banking a lot of steps (I use the bodybugg to track calories and steps).  But, I worked long, stationary hours on Thursday and Friday and I got on the scale this morning and it was bad.  Tomorrow is the official weigh in.  If I didn't lose the two pounds I set out to lose this week, then I'll start tracking all of my food on here for the next week and I'll be weighing in every day.
