Days 21 & 22 - Weekend update

I just realized that I didn’t post my entry for Saturday so I’m combining Saturday and Sunday into one post.

On Saturday, the weather started getting better with the exception of the wind.  The wind was blowing 30 mph for most of the day that made it cold.  So my wife and I decided to change our schedule and make Saturday our “EZ” day and train harder on Sunday.

Breakfast

Crispex cereal

Skim milk

Coffee with creamer

Lunch

Ham and turkey sandwich on whole grain bread

Dinner

Stroganoff (Lean sirloin steak strips, whole wheat pasta, light sour cream)

As I said, we decided to make Saturday our EZ day for training.  We still got out and walked quite a bit.

 

Activity

3 miles of walking around Costco, Kohls and Walmart.

Today (Sunday) was a great weather day.  I was excited to get outside, not necessarily to run but really just to get outside.

Breakfast

Whole wheat pancakes

Coffee with creamer

Lunch

Ham and turkey sandwich

Dinner

Grilled pork tenderloin

Cous Cous (strange pasta)

Once it warmed up a bit, we put Kaitlyn in the jogging stroller and we headed out to run the trail.  This was the first time my wife has joined me on my run and I was really impressed with how well she did.  I’m not a speed demon by any means, but I have been running for the past two weeks and she hasn’t.  We stayed together for most of the time but then I split off from her for a bit to hit the distance I needed to go.  It was a great day for running.  I still don’t like it, but I’m doing it.

Activity

3.5 mile run

1.5 mile walk

Yoga tonight (got to stretch)

On the whole it was a pretty good week.  I’ve lost another 2lbs. and I’m now down a total of 10lbs.  I’m feeling better as well.  I’m excited to see how things progress over the next couple of weeks.  Only 4 weeks until the 5k.
