Day 24: Running again...at least attempting to

So i was energetic enough to run but not to run very fast. I only went as high as 4.5 mph. Pretty pathetic but I'm going to get myself up and going.

Here is what I did:
burned 240 calories by walking/jogging 2.33 miles in 34 Mins.

I hope that by this weekend I can do better. :-/

Another lazy day

So after my jog/walk on Saturday I ended up with a terrible headache that didn't go away fully until last night. I was feeling weak and fatigued and my head all achy. During brunch I took a shot of Geritol and some tylenol and it helped. Geez do i really need to do all that to feel better??

I hate to say it but I hope the dr finds something wrong with me because I just cannot take feeling as crappy as I have been feeling. I am going to get home today and eat small amount of meat but loads of greens!

Unfortunately today I mostly ate cashews. I had a good breakfast...1/2 cup of oj at home. Then a yogurt, banana, blueberries and all bran buds. Then coffee. I attempted to eat my lunch leftovers but total yuck. I had hibachi seafood and i picked through most of it and just couldn't finish it. I just ate more cashews...bad bad...I didn't even drink enough water...I will have to make up for it throughout the rest of the day.

I didn't get up to jog today but lets see if i can get myself to the track today or i will just wait until tomorrow morning to run.

I want to get back into this and not have excuses as to why i can't run anymore. ugh!!!!

Day 23 bayside marina

so a week and 2 days later I finally head out for a jog. I jogged then walked then jogged and walked...you get the point. It was warm and I lack energy...what is wrong with me???? I may need to see a doctor to make sure everything is ok...I would say I jog/walked a total of 4 miles in about 45 mins.

Okay off to do errands. I need to figure out how to motivate and keep motivated. :(

Day 22

burned 282 calores by ran/walked 2.5 miles in 32 minutes

Yesterday and Today

So yesterday I ran in the morning. I took it easy. I went for a walk during lunch and after work I went to jog in Central Park with a coworker and the Team in Training crew. Woah lots of exercise! I didn't go today as I didn't want to push it. I will run tomorrow morning and take it easy again and then will prepare for THE run tomorrow. A bit nervous but I'm sure it will be okay.

i was pleasantly surprised that I was able to run as I did yesterday. I really had no idea of my capability until yesterday since I do most of my running on the treadmill. I did run outside at the beginning but was not successful at being consistant.

Well once I got home I had leftovers. BBQ chix with brown rice and a yummy salad (baby spinach, onions, goat cheese, red onions, craisins, walnuts, tomato, balsamic and olive oil).

This morning i had a bowl of cereal with half a banana. then i got to work had a coffee and 5 crackers with strawberry jelly. Lunch was salad with a red wine vinigar dressing, mushrooms, olives, red peppers and small pepperoni pizza and then the cheese of a tomato pizza. I had 2 macadamia nut cookies and about 1.5 cup of coke...bad bad! oh well I'll have a light din din. OH and I forgot i had about a cup of lucky charms dry. :)

No workout or walk today because of yesterday's run and work. But I may see about getting some type of walk in tonight or stretch or something. I have to prepare for tomorrow. Nervous and excited!

Snack and Lunch

had 5 crackers with Strawberry jelly; coffee
chicken on pita with extra lettuce and tomato
2 prunes

Yum...
we're going to have cake later I think...YUMMM!

Day 21 and breakfast

4 days later I am back at the gym. No headache, no tummy ache..yeah!
here is how I did: burned 261 jogging/walking 2.3 miles in 31 mins. I took it easy since I will be running later today with Lindsay and Lis in Central Park. lets see how I hold up. :-/
Kinda nervous.

I actually made oatmeal today...its been forever.
~1/2cup of dry oats soaked in 1/2 cup of water
1.5 cups of 1% milk with 2 tsp of cinnamon
1/4 cups of raisins

Yum!

Brown rice half cup and general gao simply asia chix with snap peas carrots and brocolli.

activia strawberry yogurt

7 crackers with strawberry jelly
4 more prunes
9 more almonds

very hungry...need to bring heartier snacks so I don't have to snack on too many things. ugh...will have to drink lots of water. Don't want to go bizerk for dinner.

Breakfast and snack

This morning I had a medium-large banana;
bowl of honey bunches of oats (I'm sure it was more than the serving size)
with lots of 1% milk. I love lots of milk in my cereal.

So far at work. I've eaten a few Almonds (lime and chili flavor) I would say about 3-4 almonds
1 pc of orange flavored dark chocolate
8 oz of coffee with 2 raw sugar and low fat milk (1/2 tbsp)
3 prunes

3 days no run and run is in 3 days

Ugh!!!! I didn't run this weekend. My body went into ultra lethargic mode. I mean it took quite a bit to motivate to do anything. My body literally felt heavy. I even took a nap on Saturday...a nap! I don't take naps.

Last night I set myself up to run this morning. I prepared my clothes in the living room so that i could be ready to get up and go...well nope that didn't happen. I woke up around 4am with the worst headache ever. I thought it was the 2 hard ciders I had last night but later realized that my sinuses were actually the culprits. I still have a mega headache will take tylenol in a bit. I have a walk this afternoon but i'm even tempted to ditch that. I am feeling sooooo bummed about how I feel.

In addition to my tiredness and now headache, I have really come to terms that I am just eating incorrectly. Yesterday I had a burger, fries, hard cider, and cake for dinner and dessert. And so far already I had a piece of dark chocolate. I do think I need to keep track of what I eat in addition to what I am doing. Thankfully so i can text my entries so that should make it easy to keep track of my food. So I am going to do that for at least a week. I need to prepare food the night before and I need to stick to it. I need to feel better about myself from the inside out.

Day 20

Burned 309 calories running 2.76 miles in 33 minutes

Day 19

took some Mylanta this morning and did absolutely great!!! I feel great as a result. I ran at 6.0 for about 10 mins! WOW!
Burned 316 calories run/walking 2.78 for a total of 33 mins.

If it doesn't rain I will be joining the CU wellness program on a walk today. We will walk every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. I am glad. It will motivate me to move more during work hours. I just wish the bag they gave me did come with a pedometer like it was suppose to. I was so bummed it didn't because I would like to keep track of how little I move when here.
Well lets hope for no rain until later today.

Day 18

Struggled again thanks to my stomach!!! Could it be acid reflux??? I have to get some Mylanta to take in the morning. I feel great and ready to run but my very top of my stomach hurts. I don't get it!
Well I did quite sadly, burned 268 calories run/walking 2.41 miles in 31:13 mins. I walked more than I wanted to but at least i did hit 6.0 mph. Will get mylanta and see how i do tomorrow morning after taking some maybe the night before?? hmmm...will find out.

Day 17

Sunday morning work out. Burned 462 calories run/walking 4.29 miles in 54:18 minutes. Felt good at the end but struggled! Could I be in pain due to some type of acid reflux???

Day 16

Felt nauseous as I ran, probably since i ran in the afternoon and had food and water in my tummy. Was a pathetic run but i really wanted to run. I wanted to run a total of 4 miles but I walked a lot and then was in the process of getting kicked out of the gym.

Burned 384 calories run/walking 3.78 miles in 52:01 minutes.
I want to run/walk 4 miles!

Day 14

Today's work out. Burned 293 Calories run/walking a total of 2.65 miles in 34 mins. Felt like a weak workout. I am tired. I haven't slept well the past 2 nights. I do hope I sleep heavy today. I may need to do a walk during lunch and after work to wear myself out some more. I am tired I am getting myself some crack coffee downstairs at Orens.
