Thursday, Week 5

Last night, I had to switch my end of the day snack with dinner. I didn't get to eat dinner until 9:00pm, which is bad. However, I slept better. I got to sleep around 11am, so I got a decent 8 hours. I'm still pretty beat this morning - better than yesterday, though. I'm hoping that my schedule today will be better. This morning I got off to a good start. I walked from the far parking lot to work (almost a 10 minute walk), and I have a meeting today that will be another 10 minute walk round trip.

A note on my new plain yogurt: It tasted better yesterday. When I got to work, I put it in the refrigerator for about an hour or so. I think it just wasn't cold enough the first day. It made a big difference. Now I have to decide if I want to just stick with it or if I want to mix it with the strawberry kind. Perhaps I'll do it both ways depending on the number of calories that I want for a particular morning.

Food:
Breakfast: IsoPure (75)
Snack: Yogurt (55)
Lunch: Leek Soup (130), Salad (30), 2 turkey slices (40)
Snack: Watermelon (100)
Pre-Workout: Blue Naked Juice (85)
Post-Workout: IsoPure (100)
Dinner: Chicken and Broccoli (250)
Snack: 1/2 peach (25), fudge bar (50)
Total: 940

Exercise:
Stretching: Throughout day
Walks throughout day: 20 min
Treadmill: 1 min warm-up at 3.6mph (.05 mi), 15 min easy run at 5.3mph (1.32 mi), 7 min intervals between 3.6mph - 8mph (totaling 2.10 mi), 2 min cool-down. Total 2.15 miles in 25 minutes.

My run was awesome. I felt really strong and actually started my 1st interval at 6mph immediately following the 15 minute easy run. So, I actually ran 16 minutes straight. I could have gone longer, too. Next time I'll have to decide if I want to move to 5.4mph or 5.3 for half and 5.4 for the rest. Regardless, having the 4 oz of Blue Naked Juice before my runs is awesome. I will definitely make that my trend.
