So I did it! I ran a 5k today. Okay, walk/ran, but I did better than I thought... I finished in around 37-38 minutes. I am waiting for my official time, as they didn't have it today (who knows what happened, maybe I didn't hit one of the three mats right.. grr). The toughest part of continuing to run was getting my head out of the game... it kept playing tricks on me like saying "it would be great to just walk"... "don't worry, walking is okay".. or... "oooh, doesn't that kind of hurt a bit". lol. So obnoxious!
Food.. Wow I had a half shake this morning. I was starving by 1.. I mean starving.. Like shakes, yada yada yada. I went to quiznos and ate a bullet and a small salad! I mean in a matter of minutes.. I have no idea how I even ran this evening.. I was so full. It does explain why I wanted to barf at the first mile. lol.
Breakfast: 1/2 shake... so not enough!
Lunch: Pesto turkey bullet & southwest salad (no dressing)
Dinner: 4 shrimp, 4 pot stickers, two scoops ice cream, two thin mints!
Okay okay, it's a holiday and family is in town. Next week will be better (there is that mental thing again!).
Great job on the 5k. Maybe you could beef up your breakfast by getting the yogurt and fresh berries. I think you'll enjoy the flavor and it is healthy. I also rediscovered boiled eggs. I'm not sure on the overall healthiness but they are tasty and relatively low cal.
ReplyDeleteHave you checked out the Eating For Life book? It has some great recipe's and meal plans. My sis-in-law loves it! Awesome job on the 5K!!!
