I ran four miles this morning on an empty stomach - I was hungry when I woke up but not starving. My stomach kept cramping up during my run and I think it was because it was empty. And then I just felt exhausted and like crap when my run was over. Not the feeling I'm going for! Apparently I am going to have to start getting up early enough to eat before my runs now.

Breakfast

1/2 pumpkin muffin (Panera)
Coffee

Lunch

2 slices pepper-jack cheese
10 Keebler club crackers
3/4 apple
Diet Coke

Other half of pumpkin muffin
1/2 slice Amish friendship bread

Dinner (5 guys)

Little bacon cheeseburger
Fries
Diet Coke

I went to Advanced Vinyasa Flow tonight. We did a lot of the same poses that we did yesterday. We practiced going into the Flying Crow pose from a headstand. Most everyone else in the class can do a headstand (and I can't) so I need to work on that this week also.

Breakfast

Small nonfat, nowhip mocha (Friendly Bean)
3 donut holes

Lunch (Hyvee)

1 chicken egg roll
Steamed rice w/soy sauce (I got General's chicken but only ate a couple of bites because it tasted really gross. We went to a different Hyvee; they must have a different recipe.)
Diet Coke

Snack

3/4 apple
1 piece whole wheat toast w/sunbutter

Dinner

2 pieces leftover cheese pizza w/turkey pepperoni added
Diet Coke

Snack

1 serving chocolate ice cream w/chocolate syrup

 

March 25

I skipped working out this morning because I woke up with a splitting headache. I think if I got more sleep it would help me feel better in the mornings. I'm going to make that a priority next week.

Breakfast

Coffee

Lunch (McDonalds)

Cheeseburger
Medium Fry
Diet Coke
1/2 small chocolate shake

Dinner (El Maguey)

Chip and salsa (moderate amount)
1/2 Bean burrito

Snack

1 serving chocolate ice cream w/chocolate syrup

I was running late this morning and didn't have time for breakfast which lead to a poor choice at McDonalds (where we met one of West's friends for a playdate). I need to get some more protein bars to have on these kinds of mornings.

March 24

I ran three good miles this morning - the time went really fast and I didn't need any walk breaks. I sped up to 5 miles an hour at around the 2.5 mile mark.

Breakfast

Bowl Cheerios w/skim milk and sprinkle of sugar
2 pieces of bacon
Coffee

Lunch (Fun Run)

Soft pretzel
Diet Coke

Snack

2 Hershey's kisses

Dinner (Cheesecake Factory)

1 piece brown bread
1/2 cashew grilled chicken salad
1/2 glass Merlot

Snack

1/2 piece Kaluha Chocolate Coffee Cheesecake (I brought a piece home from the Cheesecake Factory to split with Travis)

Finally some veggies! I could have had more but compared to the last couple of days even just one salad is an improvement. And also a really good choice for the Cheesecake Factory which has so many bad choices.

March 23

I did the Jillian Michael's No More Trouble Zones DVD with three pound weights this morning. Some parts of the DVD seem really hard and some don't seem challenging enough. I'm not sure how I feel about it. I want to make sure that I maintain the muscle mass I gained doing P90X.

Today was not a good eating day. I really need to get it together diet-wise. I know how to eat healthy; I just need to DO IT.

Breakfast

1 piece bacon

Lunch (Friendly Bean)

Small nonfat/nowhip mocha

Snack

1 serving crackers
Pepper jack cheese stick

Dinner (Bo-Lings)

3 crab rangoons
Hot and sour soup
Mongolian Beef w/brown rice

Snack

Pumpkin bar

March 22

I ran three miles this morning. My stomach is definitely improving over Thurs and Saturday, I think I took three breaks. I didn't go to yoga tonight though because Cash had his first soccer practice tonight and West is sick so things were just too hectic around here.

Breakfast

1/2 piece whole wheat toast w/sunbutter
Coffee

Lunch (Hyvee)

General's chicken w/steamed rice - half a portion
Diet Coke

Snack

1/2 package M&Ms

Dinner (5 Guys)

Little Bacon Cheeseburger
Fries
Diet Coke

Snack

Pumpkin bar

Did I have any fruits or vegetables today?? I guess that would a no (except for the pumpkin bar which doesn't count.) Not good.

March 21

I didn't work out this morning because I'm still sick. I'm thinking about running tomorrow morning and doing yoga tomorrow night. It will probably be the Iron Yoga class at 7pm.

Brunch

Bowl of Cheerios w/skim milk and sprinkle of sugar
Coffee

Snack

Half of small bag of Topsy's cheddar and caramel popcorn
1 pumpkin bar

Dinner

1 Asiago encrusted pork chop
Baked sweet potato w/tsp of brown sugar
Diet Coke

Snack

Pumpkin bar

March 20

I accidentally set this morning's alarm for PM instead of AM so I overslept and missed my yoga class! I'll go to Zona Yoga tomorrow night to make up for it.

This week's workout plan:

Monday - Ashtanga FUNdementals at Zona Rosa
Tuesday - Run three miles on treadmill
Wednesday - Jillian Michael's No More Troublezones DVD (with three pound weights!)
Thursday - Run three miles on treadmill
Friday - Power to the Peaceful Yoga DVD (this was a gift; I have no idea what to expect)
Saturday - Run four miles on treadmill or outside
Sunday - master's yoga class

Brunch

Bowl of Cheerios w/sprinkling of sugar
Coffee

Snack (Starbucks)

Small nonfat/nowhip iced mocha

Dinner

2 servings butternut squash and bacon casserole
1 serving World's best salad
1 piece garlic bread

Snack

2 pumpkin bars
1/2 serving Jimmy Fallon ice cream

(The excessive snacking is because I have a fever and I stayed up way too late waiting for it to break when the Tylonel kicked in. I sweat a ton when my fever breaks and I hate having sweaty sheets. I hope I'm better by tomorrow night so I can go to yoga!)

March 19

I ran my six miles this morning! It took me 82 minutes - a 13.7 minute mile. I had to take three restroom breaks I think. I'm wiped out; my legs are jello. I hope I can do my yoga class in the morning!

1 piece whole wheat toast w/sunbutter
Coffee

Lunch

1 1/2 servings of lasanga
Diet Coke

Snack

2 chocolate chip cookies

1/2 Asiago cheese and panko crusted pork chop
Baked sweet potato w/tablespoon butter and tsp brown sugar
1/2 glass red wine

Snack

2 servings Jimmy Fallon Ben and Jerry's ice cream
1 chocolate chip cookie

I wasn't hungry at dinner and then got hungry later and ate too many sweets. I need to stock up on healthier snacks!
