Day 34

Burned 290 calories running 2.57 miles in 33 mins

Day 33

Running again... Burned 309 calories running 2.72 miles in 35 mins

Day 32

So it took me a whole week to get back into the gym thanks to a cold bug. My throat was bugging me and the stress at work didn't help. The sad part is that I almost busted my ass on a new machine. You figure that would have happened on an old piece of crap machine...but now it happens on a new one.
I burned 297 cals running 2.58 miles for 33 minutes.

Day 31

So I didn't run but I did exercise on the Elliptical while they put in new treadmills at the gym! Yay! I'm so excited about that. Here is what I did I burned 609 calories for 5.64 miles for a total of 55 minutes.

Day 30

Woke up and went to the gym...wasn't feeling so hot but I pushed myself and even made it into work. Ugh!
Today I burned 318 running 2.7 miles in 34 minutes.
Am really feeling much better about my running. Hopefully by the end of this month I can run consistently at 5.0 even 5.5.

Day 29

Started with 13.5 miles on elliptical. Funny how I really didn't want to start running and was hoping to maybe just maybe get on an elliptical machine and sure enough i was lucky enough to do so. Unfortunately it was not the best machine but it did the job. Was on it for about 15 mins.
Afterwards I ran and it felt good. I started at 5.0 and even did interval of 5.5. I am pushing myself. On the treadmill, I burned 273 calories running 2.28 miles in 28 Minutes.

At the end of the week, I didn't run every day for at least 30 mins as i hoped but then again I am doing my salsa styling class and tango now so my body definitely needs to get use to that.
I also did some lunges when I was stretching and my legs are still hurting today Monday 7/12. I need to do it more often.

Day 28

Did slightly better. Did intervals at 5.0 just to get myself use to it again. For the last 10 mins I did 2 mins at 5.0 and 1 at 4.5.

Overall burned 264 calories in 2.35 miles done in 32:05 mins.

Day 27

Made it to the gym this morning eventhough I did try to talk myself out of it. I jogged very slowly but at least I did get up and I ran. Again my goal this week is to get up every day and do a light run in the morning. I have to keep pushing forward. Luckily I have a set of vitamins at my job so i was able to take my multivitamin but i completely forgot my folic and b-complex. I'll have to take them with din din.
I am happy because I made oatmeal and made a hard boiled egg and so far i've eaten both. I had my oatmeal with banana and raisins. I had my snack, hard boiled egg with 5 crackers and a 2% milk cracker barrel cheese. My tummy is rumbling...think that something may not be right but so far am okay so not sure... I'm just glad I feel good and light. I actually felt full when eating the egg and crackers. :)

So today I burned 248 Calories running/walking 2.21 miles in 31 minutes. I ran 5.0 for about 4 mins but otherwise walked 10 mins at 4.0 then ran at 4.5 and ended it at 5.0. I will keep this up this week and next week i can hopefully push myself. :)

battle with portions

So I eat very healthy but i just eat too much. I do over-indulge. I need to put myself in check. I need to not skip meals and I need to eat small meals. I am going to aim to eat oatmeal and hard-boiled eggs and cheese and greens every day along with loads of water. I do not want to over eat this week at all. Food is fuel!!!!

I also picked up my vitamins so I will be taking my vitamins like the dr said.

Day 26 and week's goal

I swore I was ready to run a marathon...and after 10 minutes my heavy breakfast snuck up on me completely messing up my flow. :( I stuck it out by walking and then I ran very slowly. I was able to stay on the treadmill for 4.5 miles and 1 hour...not too bad.
So here is how I did. Burned 504 cal by walking and jogging 4.59 miles in 65 Minutes.
I want to just be able to run at least 2 miles already at a normal speed. My knees were burning a but and I'm sure it is because of the length of time I did.
This week I want to get to the gym and walk 10 mins and run 20 mins at 4.5. I am going to take it slow

Day 25

burned 276 caloreis walking/jogging 2.47 miles in 34 mins.

I will slowly build up back to where I once was. It's frustrating but I have to really be patient with myself. My dr's appt is on Saturday and so we'll find out what is going on.

For this week I just want to run 3 times. So far i've put in 2 runs, and Sat will be my 3rd. I will try to run outside.
