Respawn

So I didn't really do anything since my last blog.  I sort of ran a couple times, but didn't finish C25K (on the last week).  On July 4th I tried to do it, but it is hot as balls and I only ran about 10 minutes before I had to walk.  Also, I've been eating crap and thus feeling like crap.  I have this summer off though to respawn.

So I started to workout more this week.  I ran (sort of, as mentioned) on Monday the 4th, then I did 30 minutes of Combat, then walked like 4 miles to the fireworks (round trip).  Tuesday I was feeling it.  No run.  Did 30 minutes of Combat (the strength one) which I failed at.  Walked to the grocery store twice (oops, I thought I had bought potatoes last week).  Now today, I "ran" C25K day 1, but even failed at that.  It is so hot outside I was feeling lightheaded, and I don't think I had enough water in me, so that was a problem.  Ended up walking 3 miles ish.  Then did 45 minute Combat and 20 minutes of stretching.  Ate frosted flakes for breakfast (so bad but so good) but then lunch had my healthy stew.  But then chocolate.  Dinner will be shallot chicken and fruit.

Goals:
Sleep as much as possible
Eat mostly whole foods-save treats for special occasions, Whole30 during Sept
Exercise by running 4x a week, doing Combat 5 times a week while near somewhere I have access to a DVD player, stretch 6 days a week, lots of walking!
Drink lots of water

Weight: 139 lbs (I don't have a scale this summer, so we will see how things are looking come October!)

Physician, heal thyself

I don't take care of myself.  Like, at all.  Now that Scott's gone, I just eat cereal and sit around.  I need to take better care of myself.

Weight: 140.0 lbs

Feelings: abdominal cramping pain (gluten and milk aren't great for me I found out)

Goal for the week: Finish C25k (I'm on week 8 day 3).  Wake up at 6am every day.  Make more food and not just eat cereal every meal

"Ok poop, you're not the boss of me!"

I have been off my routine for a while.  I went to a conference in San Diego week before last, which I ran once at but not again, and then I didn't run since because my job in Maryland fell through and I was kind of sad.  Whatever, I got over it. I finally went running tonight.  Things were going ok until the last 5 minutes, when I thought I was going to crap my pants.  This was C25K week 7 day 2 and I really wanted to stick with it (I had run 20 min straight already!) so I kept telling my poop that it wasn't in charge.  It worked!

I guess the moral of the story is that there may be crap that is trying to ruin my current life goals, but I can't let it boss me around.

Gonna start again.  May 1st.  Barf.  But seriously it made me feel much better.  I only ran 1 time this week because I am kind of depressed.  I hate my job.

Day 45/43/Reintroduction day 12

Wasn't feeling great today.  Didn't eat well.  Like 100% carbs.  I'm also up 3 lbs again

Breakfast: Quaker oat squares.  2 bowls

Lunch: orange.  2 lemon ricotta cookies

Dinner: leftover sweet potato. 2 waffli

Exercise: none

Feelings: Intestines are ROUGH.  Really need to go back on whole 30.  Plan for tomorrow's meals:

Breakfast: mushroom frittata
Lunch: chicken chili verde, 1/4 avocado, orange
Dinner: pizza/spag squash casserole
Snack: Larabar if I need it

My goal is to Whole30 until I leave for the AUA on May 5.  That's 15 days.  Then in San Diego, eat salads/fresh fish-still keep it light.  Then May/June Scott will be gone and I just need to stick with the program during the week.  On weekends we can maybe eat something off plan.  Like one little thing.  Then move in July-need to stay on the program until Norway-I can eat a little bit of fun stuff in Norway, but it's so expensive I think we just need to bring a bunch of food with us anyway.  So, basically I have 3 mo before Norway to eat well/get in shape, then 1 mo after before I start work.  Let's see how this goes...
