C25K Week 1 Day 1

Yes, that means I got my behind into gear and RAN today! Of course, I decided to start back at the beginning of the Couch to 5K program, so I really only ran about 1/3 of the half hour workout, but I started back with the running program. Woohoo! And thanks to the podcast, I had peppy music to run to, and I didn't have to watch the clock to know when to switch from running to walking and back again! The podcast is WONDERFUL. I may even be able to run outside with it! =D

There was a little splurging on the eating front, though, because my mom is here. Bad excuse, I know, but we had sticky buns and mocha for lunch out this afternoon. SO GOOD! And so caloric... I made up for it by eating a giant fruit salad and a few crackers for dinner. So I ended the day at 1300 calories even, 33 g. fat, 26 g. fiber, and I got 4 f&v and 2 liters of water. Not the best I've ever done, but not too shabby for my first day back to calorie counting in a week and having my mom here to play! I'm sticking with calorie and nutrient counting and not watching points right now, for the ease of it all. One less thing to do. But with the running and toning program going, I hope to see more progress, even without point counting! I will probably add points back in once Mom is gone. But it's too much to keep track of while we're busy playing. =D

Well, I am headed to bed now, so have a good night and a great tomorrow!

Here's to day two being good as well! The sticky bun sounds like something that would just throw me into a full pound or two of gain. But you seem to be able to handle that kind of a thing way better than I do. I'm watching and trying to learn! Glad you are back to tracking and exercising.
