I am learning that I need to make sure and eat enough in the mornings and during the day. Tuesday I had a banana and powerbar in the morning and an average to small size portion of coos coos at lunch. My work schedule on Tuesdays is shifted a few hours earlier than normal and I got home Tuesday and by mid-late afternoon I was so hungry. Instead of pulling out the organic carrots or celery I had purchased a few days before I heated up a bratwurst. Oh it was so good. But then the guilt set in. I think I have been doing well with diet in the first few days and will resist future brats but I also realized that I should probably allow myself a few bad things just to keep my sanity. For the most part I have been eating more fruit, less portion sizes and drinking more water than I used to. It is a long road to change a lifestyle and as long as I keep improving I will be happy.
Tuesday night I did some squats at home while holding a 25lb dumbbell in each hand. Did 10 sets of 10. My legs still hurt. It was great to do. Got my heart rate up and woke my legs up that they will need some attention.
Got to the pool again this morning (Wed) and swam 1000 yards. I cut it close on time again in relation to getting to work but I did get to the gym a little earlier so I was able to swim the 1000 yards I wanted to.
Things are going well. I heard we have 20-25 coworkers lined up to do the 1/2 marathon so there will be plenty of competition.
Thank you everyone who has emailed me with support so far. Full steam ahead!
