Three days of no running left me itching to do my long run today. But I resisted because I didn’t want to push myself and get injured, even though both my legs and my left shin started feeling almost 100% better after I cross trained and weight trained two days ago.
So today, I took it easy. Instead of running, I took the boys out on a long walk and then hit the weight room right afterwards.
Distance: 2 miles
Time: 40 minutes
Calories Burned: 180
I’m going into my fourth week of training starting on Monday, and my fifth week of a healthy lifestyle. It’s getting easier and easier to make the “right” choices, but there are still times when I have to fight myself… hard. So far I’ve completely cut out soda from my diet. I drink water and low fat milk every day. I’ve also cut out processed foods, eating more natural foods. And I’ve kept track of my eating (calories, fat, carbs, and protein) for over a month now. I think I’m off to a good start =) I just need to maintain.
Oh, yeah. I’m -11lbs now ;)
