Wednesday, Week 1

Today was a complete success overall. I built on my run/weights session yesterday and actually gained momentum. Also, my diet has been on track with what I'm wanting.

Exercise: 45 minutes total
Running records: 1 mile of continuous running in 11 min 32 sec, continued running continuously for a total of 1.36 miles in 15 min 36 sec
Total treadmill work: 3.3 miles in 40 minutes
Stretching: Morning, Before run, After run
Abdominal: Morning - 50 crunches (10 regular, 20 bicycle, 10 regular)
No weights today, letting muscles recover from yesterday

Food: Excellent
Breakfast: Watermelon, Cantaloupe, Honeydew melon, blueberries, strawberries
Lunch: 12 oz Navy Bean Soup with raw spinach and romaine lettuce salad
After lunch Snack: Another helping of the fruit from breakfast
2nd Snack: Fiber One Yogurt
Pre-workout Snack: 3 nuts (2 almonds, 1 cashew)
Dinner: Boca Burger, Asparagus
Alcohol: None
(Edited to Add: 1 tilapia, 1 small milk as after dinner snack)

Beverages: Hot Tea, 1 can of Diet Coke, Water (I won't post the beverages each day, only if I deviate from this.)

I'll probably have some kind of after dinner snack. I'm going to try to keep my carbs towards the beginning/middle of the day rather than at night.

Goals for Food: high fiber, lots of fruits and veggies, high protein as I get more into weights.

Supplements: Multi-vitamin. I need to buy a new kind because the One-A-Day for Women vitamins that I have upset my stomach if I don't eat enough with them. I also need to get to GNC to get some IsoPure Protein Powder. I'll use this once I get more into weights to boost my protein intake. POS1 - a muscle recovery supplement from Advocare. My mom got me into this maybe 5 years ago. It really does work. Glucosamine - for joints when I run.

Oh, a note about the 3 nuts (kind of strange). When I got home from work, I felt like I needed an energy boost to sustain my cardio, but I didn't want much. So, the 3 nuts were perfect, and I think they added to my endurance run.

Whoops, I noticed that I was low on protein for today, so I just fixed a tilapia (frozen with salt sense and tony sacheries in microwave for 2 minutes - put on paper plate and cover with another paper plate). And, I'll probably do a small glass of milk maybe an hour before bed for some slow protein absorption.
