Re-cap of the week thus far. Things are going good. Not perfect, but good. My goal is to be under 165g of Carbohydrates/day, exercise 5 times a week for 45-60 minutes, and to have 10 glasses of water a day. Oh yes.... and to run/walk a 5K in under 40 minutes. I do not have a caloric goal, but I am keeping track anyhow.
When I am able to work out on the treadmill I am going for 40 minutes and seeing how far I can go. My goal is to increase my distance each time. Saturday I went 2.6 miles and Tuesday I went 2.88 miles. I know I will accomplish my goal of a 5K I under 40 minutes before the challenge is over. In that case, I will set a new time goal.

Wednesday my husband: The Chocolate Lover and I celebrated our wedding anniversary so I splurged on a super rich Magnum ice cream bar, and a late night trip to Taco Bell following our Ice Skating date. I did go over on my carbs, but not ridiculously high. Had I not splurged I would have been wayyy under.
Getting the water in is challenging for me. I have to remind myself to keep drinking. I imagine as the weather warms up I will be drinking more. Today it is a balmy 57 degrees here in Boise , Idaho
I haven’t been posting my food journal on my blog, but if you are curious or interested in seeing what I am eating here is the link to my food journal@ Myfitnesspal.com
Have a great day! It is fast approaching the weekend. Yeah!!
We are around 94 degrees here it Tennessee. It makes it almost impossible to work out outside. I wouldn't care for a 57 degree day or two. Maybe 77 to 87 would be better :).
ReplyDeleteSometimes we need a splurge. Don't sweat it.
