Yesterday I started another liquid diet. Summer is almost here and I haven't made any progress in getting in shape. I'm hoping a 10-day liquid diet will be the kick start I need. Last night, I dusted off my juicing machine and juiced up a bag of "Ready to Eat" spinach. Yesterday was the first day of the diet. Hopefully, work won't stress me out so much that I'll be too tired to exercise today.
Wt. 191lbs.
I haven't exercised since last Tuesday. Starting the 7th week in the exact same shape and condition I was in starting Week 1. :-(
Work stress again. After leaving work at 8:45pm, I had a heavy southern style dinner with cake for dessert.
Work related stress wins again. I left work at 8:45pm. Headed straight for McDonalds:-(
Yesterday, I was very tired after work, however, I was very pleased they I did my one hour run. It took me an hour and four minutes to finish. Even though I finished the same distance in 57 minutes the day before, I was very pleased that I went out to run.
Today is a very wet and rainy day, so we will see.
I ran for about an hour. AND, I managed to avoid eating anything about I returned home about 8pm. My goal for this week is to try running an hour each evening until Thursday, and avoid eating anything after 8pm.
I didn't run yesterday, nor did I run this morning. I am now at the halfway week, and I have nothing to show. :-( :-[ :'(
I ran for an hour, but I didn't eat healthy. I had three fried chicken fingers.
Yesterday turned out to be an okay, nice day. I enjoyed lunch, and was able to leave work at a nice, normal time. I went for a run. Since I haven't been running in almost two weeks, I settled for a 45 minute run. What was nice was being too tired to eat. I woke up tired, but I was able to get ready without having to rush.
185lbs.
Work stress had me up at 2am until about 6am...then, I start to get tired. No workout last night. I did have KFC and a pint of Ben & Jerry AND two donuts.
Head cold, and tired groom the weekend. I didn't do any workout. I'm feeling a bit annoyed that I'm into a fifth week of supposedly working out, and I have nothing to show after five weeks. :-(
My Start Trek Weekend was okay. Since I usually sleep away the weekend, I can't say that it was a waste of time. I was expecting a full weekend of different workshops, panels and other similar activities. Basically, it was a three-day "meet the actors" event. Some actors were nice others weren't. I walked the vendors area in five minutes, and after that the rest was just a trial of endurance.
Yesterday interning was very pleasant. I had my braces adjusted, and I had time to get a great seat in the movie theater. I had dinner at the Mexican restaurant Chipotle. Unfortunately, I ate 3 donuts afterwards. I was still hungry later. At home I packed my bag for the trip this weekend to a Star Trek convention. I woke up tired, but managed to catch my train. I hope work stress isn't too bad today.
:-( This week is a bust. I haven't exercised since Sunday. AND, I've eaten over my caloric budget each day this week. :-(
I'm slipping back to bad routines...again. Yesterday, I left work about 8:15pm, returned home about 10:00pm, so I didn't workout. Even worse, I ended up eating about 600 calories over my budget. I woke up about 2am, and couldn't go back to sleep until about 5am. Today, I will try to leave work about 5:pm so that I can go for a run this evening.
I managed to run Sunday morning. My workout goal this week will be a bit tricky. I will try to run Monday thru Wednesday in the evening. Thursday and Friday I will try to run in the morning. This week, I have to make an appointment for a dental cleaning. I have a very nice orthodontist, but she doesn't do cleaning. Thursday, I have my braces adjusted, AND I'm going to see the "Best of Both Worlds" Star Trek movie. And on Friday evening, I'm leaving to visit my first Star Trek convention. And on top of everything, I have the usual work stress I haven't been able to deal with.
Yesterday evening I was cold and tired. However, I managed to do my evening run. It took me five extra minutes to finish my one hour run, but I did finish.
Also, I accomplished my goal for the week of running four evenings. My plan was to run this morning before work for 30 minutes, so that I could attend a Weight Watchers meeting. However, I'm going to skip the meeting so that I can do a full hour run.
Yesterday, I managed to start and finish jogging for one hour before in got dark. I was tired from being on my feet for most of the day, and a part of me thought I might not be up for a run, but I managed. At the 30 minute halfway point, I was four minutes behind my usual time. However, I was able to pick up three of the minutes on the way back.
This morning, I managed to leave for work an hour earlier that my regular time. If I can run this evening, I will have completed my weekly goal of running four evenings this week.
Tomorrow, I will have to run in the morning because I'm suppose to attend a Weight Watchers meeting.
I managed to leave work early enough to go for a run. Unfortunately, I ended up doing it in a wooded area in the dark with a flashlight. Not being able to see more than four feet in front of me wasn't a good feeling. The plan was to only run for 45 minutes. But since it was dark, I missed my markers and ended up doing my one-hour run.
Yes, I did manage to go for a run yesterday evening. 45 minutes. With the run, I was able to add about 400 calories to my calorie bank, so I didn't binge eat. I will try to do the same this evening.
