Holy Crap, my calves are feeling yesterdays workout! I love it. I kind of wish I had forced myself to go at 11 this morning to another class.
Today I set out to walk to Venice Beach. It's absolutely gorgeous outside and the perfect day for a walk. I loaded Zara up in her harness, grabbed my bottle of water and my ipod and off we went. I actually wanted to run today and planned on starting my Couch to 5k training program but two problems came up. I couldn't find the fanny pack (stylish, I know) and the first day of training is only 20 minutes. I have small back pack I used to hold all my junk but it doesn't work so well for running. I feel like if I had a iPhone and an arm strap, I could go without an ipod and my blackberry. I want a running program on my phone and my music as well. I don't want to have to run carrying a back pack or wearing a fanny pack. What do you use to hold are your stuff while running?
A mile in to my very brisk walk, I was STARVING. I had a major moment of weakness and I gave in. I'm really bummed about this. Usually, I have pretty good will power but not today. I called and ordered a pizza. I justified ordering this by doing my walk home extra fast. I made it home in the half the time and just in time for the delivery to arrive. and then I ate 4 small slices and had a glass of wine.
According to My Fitness Pal, I'm pretty ok on Calories considering it's 7:15 at night.
Breakfast: High Fiber English Muffin, half tsp of butter, cinnamon & sugar with an espresso with sugar and coconut milk - 222 Calories
Lunch: Wheat Pita Bread (1/2 of one), 1tbs baba ganoush, tabouleh salad and tzasiki - 81 Calories (yes, I've been eating this a lot but it was leftovers and they are finally gone!)
Dinner - 4 slices of thin crust pizza with artichoke, garlic and spinach and a glass of wine - 841 Calories
Energy in: 1144
Energy Out: 213
I have 269 calories remaining... I think I'll have a protein shake later.
To wrap up... I'm really disappointed that I got so down on myself today for eating pizza. When I had that last piece I got frantic trying to figure out what I could do at home in order to increase my activity level for the day. I don't want to be obsessive about this but I almost feel like I have to be. In an effort to not be so freaked out I've started using my Body Bugg again. I have a love hate relationship with this thing. I mainly hate it because my trainer likes to have a contest and try to beat his last score (how many cals I burn) and I usually want to throw up afterwards. Anyway, I just really want to not get so down about this sort of thing.
In an effort to hold my self accountable, tomorrow I will start the couch to 5k training. Run for 60 seconds, walk for 90. I can do this. and I will report back.
My husband comes home tomorrow. I can't wait to show him what I've been working on.
