Busy days lately...and I do miss FS and all my buddies--it seems it's been ages since we all chatted, commiserated, or just plain ol' gave each other grief!!
I'll find some decent chunk of time and be back soon to check up on y'all...but for now, here's my quickie version.
Weight saw a new low day before yesterday, but has sayed the same in the last two days. That's probably coz the running's been MIA in the last two days, and Mr. C seems to step in and out of the equation!
Today was good. Worked out at the end of the day, but it was a good one--fast and furious..running in my 2nd week (1.5 min intervals). I did 7 of those, totalling to 10.5 mins of running @ 5 mph, and another 20 mins or so on 3.7 mph. Plus another 10 mins of warmup/cool down @ 3.5 mph or so...366 K burned, and sweated quite a lot! Stamina's getting better. No cramps or after-workout fatigue.
Re meals, here's the breakdown:
Breakfast: Kashi cereal with light milk (4)
string cheese (2)
Pre-workout: string cheese (2)
Post-workout: protein mix and soy milk (2)
Dinner: Bean curd stir fry with veggies (4.5) and a veggie patty (2)
snack: grapes (2)
Total: 18.5
P.S: Thanks, guys, for your comments on my last journal re advice on not eating below my points. I AM trying to not go low, however, I am finding lately that I am just not that hungry, and feel full quite easily. I can't possibly force myself to eat more, can I? My theory is that this increased protein content in food, and loweing the carbs has helped reduce appetite for junk and all filler-foods. Thus, the real, substantial foods get me full quicker, get me satisfied, and keep me full longer. I'll keep a gauge on my hunger level and make sure I don't feel hungry or starved. That has not been the case in a long time---i.e., those old days of skipping meals haven't recurred in a long time, so don't worry about that. In order to make sure, I don't starve, I'll keep up the small snacks. Also, I plan to keep the workout going strong, and that should tone the muscles well, with such high content of proteins in my meals, I should expect that it is only fat tht's burning--and NOT MUSCLE!! That's my theory. If I find that in a week or so, any of the above symptoms show up, I'll revise this plan. Thanks for looking out!!!!! Love y'all!!!!!!
