My running buddy is sick so I was on my own for this one.
I ended up running an extra set (1.5min running, 2min walking). I thought that I might have "fat fingered" the screen accidentally because I was behind where I would normally be when finishing. After the extra set was done, I remembered that I had to do a 1 block detour at the start, so I was actually ahead! All Good!
Distance today was 3.05km! Not too shabby. However, my left hip is killing me. :( Ahh the life of joints on an obese person - they are bearing load for the weight of two right now, and this hip is just not happy. Of course, riding a desk all day as a job is not helpful. I've got to get it stretched out and I am getting aggressive on the foam roller tonight!!!
I'm going to give the glutes and IT Band a good going over and that should help a lot. Also...Hello Ibuprofen my sweet sweet lover. Come to Tammy.
Food today was good today. I'm really pleased with my more conscious eating, particularly at the office and in the evenings. No mindless grazing.

About 100 calories more then I was aiming for, but I'm very pleased with my choices today. It wasn't burgers and chips. I was thinking of only having a single sandwich with my soup, but I was actually hungry, so I had two. Next time I'll make three and split one with the Husbeast. Why didn't I think of THAT earlier. rawr. Time to get funky on the floor (after some blog reading!).

Couch 2 5K - Day 1
Can I just say that I LOVE the iPhone Couch 2 5k app! It's the bomb. Best 99cents I've spent on an app. You get to choose your "trainer". We had Sargent Block! LOL Listen up maggots, you are going to run!
Day 1 is done. It was easier then I thought, but I'm pretty sure that it is going to get harder fast. I did have a friend to jog with, and the talking and shared suffering makes it easier. I also had a friend "phone in", she did her day 1 with us, on a treadmill in another city! Ah technology, how far we have come. We started our apps at the same time and she called in to report on her run after.
I know the workout is good when the dog snoozes extra hard through the Biggest Loser episode.
I'm tired and a little sore. I am going to stretch before bed right after I'm done here.
Eating today... fair to middling. I did good on food until the afternoon. I hadn't had enough water and started fading... had some sugary snacks. Tomorrow - H2O is first thing on the list of things to get in the morning. Fill the bottle and sit it on the desk.
Tomorrow is my kettle bell work-out. I'll fill in the details then. Now, time to finish my water, get rolled out, and get to bed. I have a few books on the go and need to get some reading in before lights out.
Food:
eggs & cheese biscuit - 350
Coffee with 1T creamer - 20
1 can heinz beans - 244
2 eggs - 147
2T HP sauce - 30
2 slices bread - 100 (Natures own - double fiber)
4 rolos - 105
1 bag snapea crisps - 450
2 sour gummies - 33
1 can Amy's tomato soup - 260
4 slices bread - 200
3 slices swiss cheese - 319
1T icbinb - 45
1/2c pumpkin ice cream - 260
total calories: 2,563
I need to get that down by about 750. I would like to get between 1,500 - 1,800 calories a day. If I hadn't had those damn snacks... I would have been pretty close for the day.
Wow, I was totally NOT going to track my calories. This little late night brain exercise was good. CLEARLY... I'm fat because I eat too much and this is a prime example. Unitl I wrote this out, I was thinking that I did REALLY GOOD... but no, I have really good denial of how much I eat. Add brutal snacking habits to that and here we are 300+ lbs.
Did I REALLY need TWO grilled cheese sandwiches with my soup for dinner? I don't think so. In fact, I'm still full now, and its hours later.
Food for thought Tammy. You have to start regulating AT the meal time.
Tomorrow I will do better.
