Day Seven Hundred and Thirty-Three Through Forty-One

So I ran tonight. It’s been one days of laziness. I am amazed at how hard it was to run a 5K, but I am glad I finished it. I have to get honest and real again. I have put on tons of weight. I have to make some drastic changes to get back on track. I have to cut carbs (not entirely or permanently) for a little while, and use my Plexus products to help get rid of the cravings. I know that with hard work I can get back down into the two hundred range! Time to get my rear back in gear!

Day Seven Hundred and Twenty-Eight Through Thirty-Two

The past few days have been a little crazy. It was a great weekend with my family. We spent time at the office, at church, with friends, and most importantly, with each other as family. I missed one or two days of running, but for the most part I’ve run each day. I put in three miles today, and then spent about half an hour doing body weight workouts at a park with one of my friends. I think it’s safe to say I’ll be feeling it tomorrow!

Seven Hundred and Twenty-Six Through Twenty-Seven

The last two days have been up and down for my calorie intake. Yesterday was awesome, and then today I completely blew my diet. I’ll get back at it tomorrow and start another streak (hopefully for twenty-one straight days). My runs have been pretty good. I’m having some tendinitis pain in my left knee, so it slowed me down some. The good thing is I made a full five miler today with very little pain during the run. I know I can get this back on track. It’s just going to take a lot of discipline and hard work.

Day Seven Hundred and Twenty-Five

Today’s calorie intake was perfect! The only thing I could even point out that wasn’t perfect was that I had a slice of pizza with my dinner. The encouraging thing is that I only ate one piece! My run this morning went well. I had some knee pain, so I ended my run a little earlier than I planned. To make up for not getting in a 4-5 mile run I rode the recumbent for a little while! I’m excited to be able to say that I had an excellent day today!

Day Seven Hundred and Twenty-Two Through Twenty-Four

I know I keep missing udates. I’ve missed a couple runs and my calorie intake is definitely not good. Today I was able to get back out for a run, but it was 93 degrees with a heat index of 103 so I did t make it past 5K. Instead I came in and put 20 minutes in on the recumbent bike. I’m going to do my best to do the recumbent each day after my run this week. I have to track my food each day also.

Day Seven Hundred and Twenty Through Twenty-One

It’s late, so I’m going to give you a brief update for my day. I did really well with my calorie intake. There were a couple of things I could have left out, but as I continue on this journey, I’ll be able to eliminate bad choices again. My run this morning went well, and I put a solid workout mowing the grass this evening. I’m exhausted now, so I’m off to sleep!

Day Seven Hundred and Nineteen

My calories were definitely on the right track today! I had a few things I didn’t necessarily need, but I was much more careful than I have been these last few months. I am still fighting the temptations to gorge and stuff myself. I really don’t think that temptation will ever really go away. I just wish I hadn’t been giving into it for the past four months. I missed my run this morning, but I was able to get out and run tonight. I put in a (not so) quick 5K. It was dark so I had the opportunity to use my Noxgear Tracer360. It works great! It was very visible and bright!  I would definitely recommend it for those who run when it’s dark out. Over the run could have been better. I just run slower at night. I hope to wake up and run again in the morning.
