I was feeling pretty crappy yesterday. We had our weekly weigh-in and my scale said I gained a pound. Yes, I know, only 1 pound, but I've been doing really well with my eating and my workouts, the scale should NOT be going in the opposite direction. So, needless to say, I had a crappy day and couldn't find my motivation to workout last night - exactly the opposite of what I should do when the scale goes up.
Tonight I pulled it back together. Shannon and I were going to run but then she had to cancel, so instead of mope around the house, I loaded up the kiddos and went for a jog. It was so darn windy outside today. I decided to try and run a mile again and this time I got 4 minutes in and just lost all my energy. I could not push any further. The wind was coming right at me and as I was pushing forward it literally felt like the stroller was rolling backwards. I was going faster walking. So I walked for about 30 seconds and then started running again. Then I had to stop again because Katelynn threw her shoes on the ground (of course I ran over them with the stroller and then tripped over them). I picked up her shoes and then kept on jogging. I finished right under 11 minutes, so I guess that's not bad seeing as how I did it in 1045 the other day without stopping. I kept jogging/walking for 2 more miles, so I actually jogged for about 2 1/2 miles today. I had to stop about 1/2 mile early because I just couldn't push the stroller any longer...that and Katelynn wouldn't stop screaming to walk (she loves walking around the field with us, well in tonight's case, me). She got quite a surprise tonight too because they did Colors right before we got to the car...and not only was she surprised but so was Mommy because they actually shot off a canon. I jumped, she jumped, and Denver kept right on sleeping - LOL.
Tonight was supposed to be Stretch X since I didn't do anything yesterday, but I read through what the stretches were and decided to skip it (I might do it on the rest day this week). I did Core Synergistics again. I swear anytime Drea Webber (spelling) is in the video - look out! Great workout.
Food today was okay. I really need to cut back on my coffee though.
Breakfast - egg, soy sausage wrap; coffee
Lunch - Tomato Parm/Basil soup with 1/2 cup jasmine rice
Snack - coffee and the last 2 banana muffins
Dinner - Cheese Tortellini with diced tomatoes and a bag of steamed brussel sprouts with craisins; 1 mini peppermint patty
Snack - recovery drink, Luna bar
