Day 6

So last night everyone else went to Jeff's parents for a bbq. Melanie told me to go ahead and run if I wanted as they were probably going to be a little late. Well, I decided I wasn't going to run, but I'd do Jillian's 30 day shred. Well after eating and everything I put it on just before 8 and only got halfway through before everyone came home. So, naturally I stopped, but Melanie was keen to go for a jog then so off we went.

We did fairly well, we had 10 intervals of running totalling probably 15 minutes worth at least. I pushed as much as I could push last night. We made it in 45 minutes 44 seconds (I bought a stopwatch). I also got pedometers and Melanie's was about 2000 more than mine! Apparently though I was wearing it in the wrong place, so next time we'll see. It should be a it closer.

Anyways, I was beet red after and my face was soooo hot!

This was taken more than 20 minutes after I got home, sitting in front of a fan even.

I had a crappy time falling asleep last night though. I'm not sure if it was all the exercise just before or not, but I was exhausted and couldn't fall asleep until after midnight.

Anyway, eating is going well. Only one or two more days with no carbs, then likely we'll do LESS carbs.

I feel like I'm doing well on the 12 week challenge as well (it's only week one, but I'm keeping up on the challenges).

I ended up doing 15 pushups (at a time) on Tuesday at the class, I tried to do more last night but my arms were still sore and I could only do 12. So sticking with the 15 lol.

Anyway, that's all for now. Looking forward to our big gym session tomorrow.

First test

Save me. My Mom is having a dinner party tonight. When my Mom has a dinner party, she goes all out. I've already mixed up a concoction with cream cheese, mayo, about 5 different kinds of cheese, a bunch of herbs and bacon bits. God is that dip good, but I'm not even going to try it. My mouth is watering just writing about it. She's serving steak with gravy and lobster tail no doubt covered in butter (and fish cheeks..blah) I'm going to be a good girl... I'm having chicken breast, red capsicum/pepper, zucchini, a bit of potato and salad (Cesar of course, so just a little bit). I'm sure there will be some sort of delicious desert as well, which I wont be having.

I did end up going for a walk about 5:30am yesterday morning. Went for 5 kms, and was about 45 mins. I ran a bit, then got a stitch and walked it out. Still kept up a quick pace but ran less than I wanted. I did still push myself... kept thinking... just to that corner, just to that driveway then you can walk. It was good and I worked up a good sweat. Today my shins and butt are sore. I ran down hill a little and going uphill would explain my shins.

Today, if I have time I'm going to check out one of my new Jillian Michaels videos. Probably the 'trouble zones' one. I bought a mat and some 5lb weights yesterday so I'm ready to go.

I've also started a food journal online so hopefully that will help me track how I'm eating as well.
