Back on track

This evening I drove on over to the community center to run.  Yes, run!  My body had experienced a horrible lack of that lately.  That and too much food!

Guess what sisters!  You inspired me to try intervals!  I'm a totally slow runner--enjoying the constant 4.3 speed tonight--but add some inclines & a little screen with a preview of "what's coming" and it gets a little exciting.  I choose the "hill" mode...maybe next time I'll try "random."  Didn't have any music or American Idol to run to...just eye candy (i.e. sweaty people and tv screens w/ closed captioning...actually the food network was on! weird!)  I need to find my headphones! Oh where, oh where can they be??!

So, yes, ran for 1/2 hr and did some abs with the help of a very large plastic ball. 

I ate mostly well today.  I HAVE DISCOVERED LUNA BARS!!! YUM!  Instant yum.  They're kinda sweet so I imagine they're not for eating "just cause."  But my body turns into a digesting machine when I run...stay posted for more info...and so a Luna bar pre or post workout is a good fit for me.  Haven't tried any protein drinks yet but if I find the right online coupon, I might splurge and "replace a meal" as C suggests. 

Adios muchachos!

  1. Luna bars ROCK. glad you discovered them too. Cookies n cream is my favvvvv. Have you ever tried run a minute, walk a minute? A trainer at the ymca says that makes your heart work the hardest.. but I think also makes the time ZIP by.
