I did another C25K day today. I really like the program, I hope I can stick with it! I think if I do it every day my body will forcefully adapt! Woo!
I feel 'fatter' than I did before I started though, my body must be holding onto my fat or water or something. My tummy is poochier (lol my adjectives suck) and I feel flabbier, and I don't know why. I'm only on day 3 of many many though, so I'm going to wait it out. Feel great, though! C:

Uh not getting schoolwork done today. Oops. Ha! But I had a good day.

Plans for the day:
☆ Riding DaVinci
☆ C25K W1D3

C25K again, woo. My obliques are starting to poke out from my belly now, like, you can see them a little. C: Working on it! I need to drink more water and starting tomorrow, monitor my eating again, so I don't gain too much. I understand that I'll hang on to water/calories when I first start running though, so I'm not too worried.

Plans for the day:

Still a bit high on my weight but it's ok, I don't feel -as- bloated today. I've also been eating really starchy veggies that may cause my bloating, so I need to keep that in mind. Been eating a lot of broccoli etc.
I am NOT looking forward to teaching today. Bah. At least it's a paycheck.

Whee-- weight drop! The running is paying off, methinks! You can see my obliques now when I flex them, which is exciting, I've never had abs before. o:
I need to start up the 8-minute abs again, and I think that I will just do cross-training today instead of running because my hamstring got pulled or something. ): But I might just take an asprin and deal with it, ha.

Plans for the day:
☆ Tan 12:00-12:40

overhead fan so it's dark, my bad.

[Pink Rain Today]

Holy goodness, congratulations! How did you start off your running program? I used to jog for forty minutes on flat land, but I moved to a very hilly area with extreme inclines months ago, and am having a difficult time tackling it.

Daily Miles: 2.0 mi.

IN:
Breakfast: 2x oatmeal
Snack: .5tbsp natural peanut butter
Lunch: black 'n blue burger (patty only) + broccoli
Snack: --
Dinner: turkey burger (patty only) + cauliflower and broccoli

Out:
1 hr riding, cleaned up around the barn, ran 2 miles.

------------------------<3------------------------

@Pink Rain Today: I started out by walking, I actually had no intention whatsoever of running at all, but I got the extra push by seeing my now-boyfriend in all of his fit glory, ha! I started walking 20 minutes a day, built up to 40, then 60. Real walking, on an incline, first at 3 mph, then 3.5, then 3.8, then 4.0mph. I walked on a treadmill but I'd do it outside too which is MUCH HARDER.

I still can't jog to save my life, I do intervals of 90sec-90sec walking and running for 2 miles, and I'm working myself up. Last week it was 60run-90walk and so each week I'll be weaning myself off of walking. The goal is to run 30 minutes straight by week 9, and then improve on distance or time after. I run on the C25K program, it starts you off very easy and builds you up which is what I need because I'm tackling asthma. So you can check out C25k.(org or com, I can't remember!) and coolrunning.com for the programs. I downloaded DJ Beatsmith's First-day-to-5k program for my iPod, his songs are techno-y but have cues when to run/walk according to the program I'm on! Just start walking, though. Only run if that's what you want to do. You can walk longer and burn more calories in the long run, it's Low-Intensity but it burns fat well (:

------------------------<3------------------------

Good day. Going to try to have lots of good days!

OHMYGOD.

I had no idea that existed! I'm downloading it right now!!

I hate, hate, hate wearing a watch while I run so I've been doing all my running on the treadmill where I can keep track of time, but I'd love to start running on the track near my house. And now I will!!

Argh so happy!

------------------------<3------------------------

@Munkers: !!! Really? You should download it asap! Running with watches/timers is terrible, I don't like having to THINK about when to run and walk, or I get anxious and expend more energy.

------------------------<3------------------------

I've been so tired lately. I can't get to bed until 2 or 3 in the morning and I sleep until 11 or 12. It's still 8 hours but I'd like to wake up around 9 feeling refreshed. Especially since I have a 9am class starting in August. 41 days until my boyfriend moves here. No clue how long until the pro-photo shoot I'm planning, still have to get that worked out.

I have shin splints. This may or may not prevent me from running today. Bahaha. I'm just having so much fun running and I actually feel terrible when I DON'T run, now. And I'd like to keep up my 'perfect' July streak with 2 miles of running a day. (; If I just take it easy and take some ibuprofen beforehand I should be fine.

Plans for the day:
☆ C25k W2
☆ Grocery Shop
☆ PLA homework
☆ Read something for pleasure
☆ Tan 40 minutes
☆ 8 minute abs  

[Munkers]

Toe taps are the best thing in the world for shin splints. Shin splints occur because the muscles on the front of your legs are weak and all your activity is stressing them and making them sore. Doing toe taps will help strengthen those muscles so they can take more of a pounding. xd

Start with fifty on each side once or twice a day and go from there.  

[Stars in my Pocket]

Will do, miss Munkers! Thanks for the advice!

------------------------------------------------

Sorry I've been inactive the past few days. x___o
It reflects my eating as well, which has been terrible.

Getting back on the horse tomorrow, and re-vamping my plan.
I'm going to take off of running until Wednesday due to a knee injury + shin splints. Gah. Need new running shoes, too, I think. My schedule will be put a bit behind as far as the C25K goes but as long as I don't lose too many more days I should be fine! I want to be able to run for a half-hour by the time Troy moves in 40 days. Do-able! I'm on week 3 of 9, he moves in almost 6 weeks. I got this. (8 Even if I cut it close it doesn't matter, I'll be so close! :D :D :D

So the plan is to alternate C25K + 30-Day Shred (to cross-train) + 2 days off that will undoubtedly be spent riding, ha. Plus riding on any of those other days, I can ride + work out no big deal.

Bad carbs are going to be cut as much as possible, protein is good!


M/W/F: C25K
T/R: 30-Day Shred for XT
S/Su: -OFF-

I'll keep everything as updated as possible.

My weight reflects my eating/exercise habits as of late. Not fat gain completely, I feel heavy too so it's probably still just sitting in my stomach. -_-; Back on the horse today, though, with a revamped plan. Taking until Wednesday off, I think, or maybe XT tomorrow.

Plans for the day:
☆ Teaching at 10am
☆ Cook Kidney Beans + Rice
☆ AML Module 9
☆ PLA Ch 9 + 10 vocab
☆ C25K W3 if I'm not dying.

Will do, miss Munkers! Thanks for the advice!

You're welcome! Toe taps kind of saved my life when I used to run cross country.

And this is absolutely crazy. I've been debating cross-training with 30 Day Shred on my off-days. xd
