Yup, still going to be pluggin along at the C25K. Well, my app now calls it the Ease Into 5K, same thing. I so almost didn't go to the gym tonite. Wasn't feeling it, was tired, but got in the car with D to go to the store and next thing I knew we were almost to the gym. I had a water bottle in the car and was wearing my sneakers...so I figured why not. I am so glad I did! Left the gym feeling refreshed and ready to take on the weekend.
Food is low today: breakfast was a granola bar and an applesauce. Lunch was beefstew (don't hate, I get the Dinty Moore stuff), plus Fritos, and then about a half a slice of leftover pizza at work. Midafternoon, I was kinda hungry still so had a cup of Easy Mac. Before the gym I had half a tortilla, and then afterward I had a grilled chicken sandwich (no mayo, just ketchup, lettuce and tomato), plus a few filtched tots from D (yeah we went to Sonic...lol) and then a Muscle Milk Light when I got home to end my day at 1723 calories.
Workout: W1D2 of C25K, which is 26 minutes, and I finished out to 30 minutes with a light walk. The walking parts of it were at 2.5Mph and the running was 3.0. Ya know, its funny, when I first started at the gym, I had to work UP to 2.5Mph, it seemed so fast with my short legs, but now it seems pretty easy. Also, originally, I'd hold on to that treadmill like my life depended on it. I'm not sure exactly when I got more comfy with it, but now I'm barely ever holding on to it while walking AND running. I'm working on getting my form decent during the running parts. I'll touch the side or handrails every now and then to readjust my balance but I think it's pretty neat that I don't need them now.
