Day 1 of turning over a new, active leaf.
Diet:
While I did have a couple squares of chocolate today (thankfully they were gross and the rest went into the trash) for the most part I ate clean. I had lentils with veggies (carrots, tomatoes, onions), sunflower seeds, steamed cauliflower with just a little butter and grapes. One advantage of house sitting in the middle of nowhere is that I have limited opportunity to cheat eat. 🙂
Walk:
- Distance: 6.28 km
- Time: 1:19
- Pace: 4.75 km/h
- Running: 3 intervals
- Extra Weight: 10 lbs
I am disappointed with my pace but I have to remember that it includes getting in and out of the property gate and stopping a couple times to herd the dogs away from cars. I did run a few intervals which is unusual for me. Generally I’m the one saying “if you see me running you should probably run too because something is probably chasing me”. But, I was feeling good and knew I had to keep the walk somewhat short because of the dogs so I figured why not. I think I will keep trying to add more time/intervals.
I also carried a backpack with @ 10 lbs of food in it to add some resistance. Tomorrow I need to remember to put on my HRM! Kicked myself when I realized I had forgotten it but I was already 20 minutes into the walk so kind of silly to go back for it at that point.
