So the running thing has been going pretty okay. I started a month ago today and have over doubled my time. When I started I could only do 7 minutes. this past Tuesday I did 16. I don't work out as intensely as I did when I started because I stopped following my snap fitness workouts. I should probably start those up again. I also sort of changed my schedule daround. I started when I was on break from dance and now that I'm back my body's getting more of a workout. For instance, I tried running on a Wednesday after I had ballet on tuesday night. I could only run about 4 minutes becuase my calves were Just burning. So now I work out Tuesday's before dance, Thursdays before dance and I hope to get to the gym on either Monday or Friday after work.
I started using the DailyPlate today since Dan and Tralle both use it and they are both having huge success with their weight loss. I made a profile, put in what I've eaten today and wrote in my diary about it. So here is what I wrote!:
Today, I feel... guilty. Yesterday I had a pretty good lunch: pasta and applesauce. Then I went to Wendy's and then I went out to dinner and had an inordinate amount of soup along with about 3 breadsticks. Totally unnecessary.
Today I went to caribou, got a small hot chocolate and a French toast muffin. On top of it being food I didn't need, I also used money I didn't need to spend. But it's 12:30 and I'm definitely not hungry. I brought tomato soup, applesauce and a peanut butter and jelly sandwich on wheat with me today. I plan on eating the applesauce if I get hungry at work, otherwise I will just save the rest for dinner.
My goal today is to work out at the gym, run for a min. of 16 minutes at 5.5 mph at an incline of 3. When I started a month ago today, I could only run 7 minutes at those settings. Now I've over doubled my time! Last night I did 260 crunches and 11 pushups as well. Not a full on work out but it's something. Tonight I also have 2 hours of dance: jazz and danceline. Both of those classes are pretty demanding, as long as we actually do something. Sometimes I go, dance for maybe 15 minutes total and the rest is just running formations and standing around while the teacher teaches other groups or reviews choreography that I already know.
BUT! Starting with the Daily Plate will at least be a way to track what I'm eating since I'm not doing a very good job of being held accountable for what I put in my body. So... woo!
