Instead of going on a run Friday I opted to go to Cross fit with my Mom. Although I loved the work out and being with my Mom I just wont be able to lift while training for this1/2 marathon. I don't lift often enough and tend to get really sore everytime I do any kind of lifting. I understand how important weight training is, I'm going to have to hold off on this for a while.
I went on another run this morning and was disappointed with how heavy I felt and how long it took me to run. I went for 3.2 miles. Tomorrow I am going to go on a bike ride and try to keep my heart rate within it's proper range.
Of course the one thing that I continue to struggle with is nutrition. I did much better today and honestly logged my calories on myfitnesspal. I realize that I still need to eat less in general and eat more vegetables. I cooked up some quinoa today and plan on adding that to my awesome fresh corn and avacado salad I made. I ate it with home made whole wheat pita bread. It was raw, clean and delicious.
I didn't get rid of all the cookies and treats in my pantry. Which is a huge mistake. I am too weak to say no. I had a scotcharoo after lunch and just couldn't help having a cookie before dinner and another scotcharoo after FHE. Just empty fatty calories. I hate admitting that I had these items. But it's the truth and I need to be honest with myself.
Tomorrow is going to be better. I'm like an electric stove top, I take a while to warm up and get going. Now that I have an exercise plan and goal, my eating with catch up with me. It usually does, it just take a good week or so to get going. And this isn't a short change, but a lifetime change. Sugar and sweets are something I'm going to have to deal with for the rest of my life.
Balance in all things. Where is my balance?
