Improvements at the Gym
My legs, back and neck are sore, though. I will sleep well tonight.
Date: 6/14/2007 9:12:36 PM ( 17 y ) ... viewed 2473 times Today I topped out at 3.1 mph on the treadmill. May seem dinky to those
of you who have been working out for a while or are just more fit than
I am, but I sure was proud! I was able to visualize myself running on
the treadmill like I used to do a few years ago. I don't know how long
it'll take for me to reach that point, but I'd like to wait until I get
to 250 lbs just so I don't do harm to my knees. What made me
especially happy about my workout was that I felt truly able to walk at
3.0 mph (3.1 was pushing it); I didn't feel like I was especially tired
or out of breath. I can really see progress being made, although the
scale has not budged.
I ate A LOT today. As of 7pm I've had over 1, 700 calories without
having dinner yet. We had a staff meeting at my job, which normally
involves ordering food. Today it was Jimmy John's sub lunch boxes. I
had the #4 (turkey) but I ate the chips and the chocolate chip cookie
that came in the box, too! I shouldn't have, but I get one "cheat day"
a week which I rarely bother to use, plus I rarely eat the number of
calories per day my trainer wants me to have per day (2,400) so I think
I'll be ok. Besides, I had a great workout. Dinner will be a salad
with salmon on it. I'm seeing that adding salmon to my meals has
really helped me to raise my calorie count. Salmon has healthy fat in it.
