Today was Day 1 back out on the streets...running!! What did you think I was talking about? Sheesh! LOL I took off about 6 weeks to do Asylum & take a few rest days. Felt great to get back out there, but damn do my legs feel like bricks!! Some is just getting back on a schedule, and some is that I need to get off some extra pounds!! Easier said than done! Hoping the mixing of Insanity/Asylum/running will help get my body running good!! I ran 3.1 miles, unofficially a 5k, in my neighborhood & did OK. My time was around 37:44 according to my Nike+. Not too bad for my first time back but it needs work! I have 13 weeks until my half marathon so I have time to "get the lead out".
Tonight I had dinner with a girlfriend I haven't seen in a while. We had drifted apart over the last few months & it was really nice to reconnect, relax & have a nice meal. But what the hell is with me & my love affair with bread?? Bread & seasoned oil, then some garlic toast with my salad & warm pita with my shrimp dinner. Soooo good, but I didn't need all that. I didn't eat all the bread with the salad but I gotta scale down! Overall I did good for the day so I won't beat myself up. Well, except for the Munchkins that jumped in my mouth today! :/ Haha!!
Guess what else I did tonight?? I passed on dessert! I was comfortably full & normally in the past I would still get dessert, but tonight I just thought it wasn't worth it & it would've made me feel soooo full & probably feel sick, too!! So I came home & had a Skinny Cow chocolate peanut butter ice cream sandwich instead! Mmm...
One last milestone for the day...I got in bed & was about 200 steps short of hitting 10,000 steps for the day, something I haven't done in a long time! So what did I do? I got out of bed & marched around my room & jogged in place until I crossed 10,000 steps!! And between drinking water all day & Diet Pepsi at dinner I surpassed my 8 glasses of "water", too!!
I'm focused, I have my goals & I'm going to get them! Let the games begin!! Until tomorrow... <3
