Um.. Yeah. GOYB week 3
So, I totally flaked this week. I normally run/walk around my friends neighborhood, and I haven't been able to go over there. Its cold and I hate cold weather, etc. I just had every excuse this week. Next week I will do better. I got a work friend to drive me home, and I found my flash drive so I no longer have to drag my laptop with me. All of the books are technically supposed to go back and forth but there is an extra set there, so I can run or walk (depending on the day) to work every day, and catch a ride home. Wish me luck!

GOYB Week 2 or.. someone stole my tags!
I am not much of an emotional eater, but I can be really bad about snacking when bored. Something that often helps me is chewing gum, since often I want the sensory input of chewing and taste. A slightly less age appropriate is silicone wrist bands.. If I am wearing one and I find myself to be "hungry" I usually stick it into my mouth and chew on it. (Isn't that an image!) Something else that helps is a food log. I'm much less likely to make repetitive trips to the kitchen if I am holding myself accountable for what I eat, as long as my sensory needs are met. A food log also reduces my problem of forgetting to eat all day and then eating like Cheech and Chong.
I'm not going to log my fitness, even though today was my week to start running. Someone stole my plates, so I have been walking to and from work, about 45 minutes each way. If I were just walking that I would feel fine running after, but walking that with about 7 kilograms in my back pack, plus I have a physicalish job.. not gonna happen lol. Got my new plates yesterday so better luck next week.
I did do my strength routine on the proper days at least.

GOYB: Week One Mini-Challenges and Check In.
What is Get Off Your Broom? Clicky and find out.
This week there are 3 mini-challenges.
1. Take a before picture. I'm not going to post it until the end, but I did take one.
2. Weight and measurements. Well I have to say I'm probably the only American female who doesn't own a scale. So unless i can find one at the gym, I guess that will be a mystery. As for measurements, I am also going to post them at the end of the thing.
3. Plan.
Brisk walking or other cardio exercise for a minimum of 30 minutes 6 times a week for the first week (this week.)
Follow the c25k program, starting October 9.
Run a 1k fun run on November 24th.
Run a 5k on December 25th.
Sunday: Cardio
Walked 15 minutes at a very brisk pace.
Jogged 2 minutes.
Walked 12 minutes at very brisk pace.
Great workout.. walking that fast with an added jog was interesting. Had "walking subluxations" of both ankles towards the end. Not fun. The rain made traction a bit scary, I wasn't barefoot but in a pair of homemade "minimalist" shoes (chuck taylors with the insoles ripped out. I warmed up after about 5 minutes, came inside and can't stop shivering!
Monday: Strength/Cardio
Squats 2 sets of 12 reps
Lunges 2 sets of 12 reps
Calf raises 2 sets of 12 reps
Tricep dips 2 sets of 12 reps
Knee push ups 2 sets of 12 reps
Swimmers 2 sets of 12 reps
Crunches 2 sets of 12 reps
Walked 40 minutes at very brisk pace.
Okay, it was a bad idea to walk after strength training.. my legs were like "stop, stop, stop!" the whole time.. especially my lower calves! Other than that I felt good and kept the intensity up the whole time.
Tuesday: Cardio
Walked 40 minutes at very brisk pace.
Only 3 days in its already getting easier. I had some pain in my ankles, but nothing that said I had better stop that instant. On Sunday I felt like it was never going to end, today when the chime for the cool down went off I felt like it had just flown by.
Wednesday: Strength/Cardio
45 minute very brisk walk. Seemed really hard today, felt like I only barely survived. I wasn't out of breath or anything, I just felt exhausted. I guess its just normal fluctuation. Same strength training plan as Monday, this time after the walk.
Thursday: Rest Day
Mystery of walking misery solved, I have food poisoning. So I stayed home.
Friday: Rest.
Same as Thursday.
Saturday: Cardio
Walked 25 minutes at brisk pace. Not my usual time, but I'm still getting back to human. Better luck next week.
