Yesterday, I ate within my calorie boundaries, but well surpassed areas like sodium and fat—not good. So, I made sure to drink more water, and added more exercise for (hopeful) damage control. I'm pleased to say that despite a lunch at Buffalo Wild Wings (for a co-worker's birthday) and dinner from Wendy's (both of us too tired to cook), I did OK on the scale this morning, coming in about a half a pound lighter at 320.6. So close to the 310s! I will say that I tried to make "better" choices overall, though I indulged with some Wendy's fries at dinner, after having picked a salad for my side at lunch.
I successfully completed Week 4 Day 1 of C25K this morning, even though initially it felt like it would be impossible to finish. Once I got halfway in, I decided there was no way I was going to wimp out. I had a strong finish and went a wee bit faster than yesterday, even! Exciting stuff.
The sequence this week, in case you are wondering, is:
5 minute warmup walk
3 minutes jogging
90 seconds walking
5 minutes jogging
2.5 minutes walking
3 minutes jogging
90 seconds walking
5 minutes jogging
5 minutes cool down walk
Phew!
On the docket for the rest of today is... you guessed it, more gardening. Pretty tough stuff, too—a lot of digging so I can plant my asparagus, and some more peppers. Plus, the last of the clearing out in the back yard.
I have to run to Home Depot before I get started on that, so I should be off for now. Enjoy your weekend!
