I went for my run this morning, and it was another "eh" run, but it's done. I haven't had a good run in a while. I probably need to drink more water and eat more fruits and veggies. I'm slacking on veggies especially, big time. Another 2.81 finished. I only walked 3 times, and I timed the last 2 to make sure it wasn't over 1 minute. I think I held a pretty steady 11-12 minute pace for all of the running section, and my walks weren't too bad either.
Now for my plans this weekend. I'm going to my cousin's house, ya know the one who serves her kid toaster strudels for breakfast, and pizza rolls for dinner? Yeah, her. Now don't get me wrong, she's my favorite cousin in the world, and her and I are basically like sisters. Neither one of us has a sister, and even though we're 6 years apart, we've stayed close our whole lives. I want to come up with a plan. I've been tracking every day for 20 days (according to My Fitness Pal), and I want to keep that going. There is NO reason to give myself a free-for-all all weekend.
With my oatmeal discovery this week, I think I'm going to make my own prepackaged oatmeal for breakfast. I'm taking some fruit for fruit salad, but that's the only plan that I have. At least I'll have a filling breakfast? It's so hard to plan for stuff like this. As long as I track everything though, that's what really matters. I'll make smart choices and really watch my hunger signals, that's the most important.
I probably won't post until Tuesday, but have a nice long 4th weekend!!

What are your plans for the 4th weekend?
Congrats on the loss!! .8 is great!
ReplyDeleteWhen was the last time you took a full rest day from exercise? Your body just might be tired and that's why you aren't having good runs lately. Listen to your body. It'll tell you what it needs.
Have a great weekend! We're having guests visit from out of town. So.. lots of eating out. :P
Congrats on the loss, you're doing so great!
ReplyDeleteYou are also doing really well with your running. I can't wait until I can actually run for an entire mile!
I'm still not positive what my plans are for the weekend. Some family stuff for sure, and probably fireworks at some point.
I often say slow and steady. I really believe it is the best way to change habits and in the end be more successful with maintenance. Congrats on the loss!!!
ReplyDeleteOh, I kinda want to eat at your cousin's place. I can't remember the last time I had a toaster strudel, but I remember them being AWESOME. :)
