Thoughts for 2/3/07:
I did my best run today! 5.9 miles (5.5 miles of non-stop running on the treadmill). I burned 702 calories, and it took me about 52 mins or so. I had some trouble getting my heart rate up for some reason on another. I like to see it in the 170 - 180 range (though I'm not too sure what it should be at, but that seems like a good range to me
) 220 - 19 = 201 Max. Heart Rate?? I went to the gym as usual with no expectations of breaking any record. It just felt easy to do today for some reason. Oddly enough there were a lot of people at the gym today and I felt like no one was watching me so I could do what I wanted for as long as I wanted.
Food so far: 1/4th cup oatmeal with cinnamon and a small handful of raisins. After workout I had a banana, orange, small handful of nuts, and 1/2 a turkey sandwich on whole wheat with small slice of provolone.
Part of why I think I worked out so well today was because all this week I have been going to the gym, eating great in the morning and just not giving a %!@* after 7PM and eating whatever (ice cream, donuts, cookies, etc...). I had a huge plate of chinese last night and I know today I'm going out with a friend to Buffalo Wild Wings and I probably won't be able to control myself too much (hopefully since I'm writing this I will now be able to haha).
I feel great right now, and I suppose I am at an OK weight wise; but my small pot belly does not quite agree with that. I want to tone up a bit... I don't want killer abs (I mean I'll take 'em I guess ) but all I really want is some definition.
