W2D1

I started the second week of the C25K program today. My legs were pretty sore when I completed the third run of the first week on Saturday, so I thought I might have to take two days off and start this week on Tuesday. But after 45 minutes on the stationary bike this morning, I was feeling pretty good and decided to at least take the dog out for a walk.

My legs didn’t feel sore, so I decided to go ahead and do the 90 second intervals of running. Surprisingly, I did not get out of breath until it came near the end of each 90 second interval. Just two days ago I was huffing and puffing at the end of 60 seconds, so it surprised me today when I passed each 60 second interval without feeling like I was even breathing hard. I hope the same thing happens next week when I have to start doing 3 minute runs.

I weighed in at 216# and 29.5% bodyfat today, so my fat loss efforts are moving along nicely.

As for my other goals, I did take the kids to play tennis Saturday, but I didn’t play long because it was very cold and my knees were still sore from the morning run.

Food logging? I don’t like the food logging goal I made. I am keeping track in my head and so I know I am staying below my 1500 calorie limit. But I hate taking the time to log everything. Writing down what I eat isn’t the hard part, it’s tallying up the points, calories, carbs, fats, proteins, etc., that I really hate. So as long as I know I’m doing good, I may not worry about writing it down.
