Tuesday

Gym:

Cardio: Ok, here's an interesting entry, I ran 45 minutes, increased speed to 4.5 mph and dropped incline back to 0.

Average HR: 124
Time in Zone (105-135): 43:54
Finishing HR: 131
Recovery Time (Time for HR to go below 100): 3:30

I increased speed .3 mph and dropped the incline 2.5 degrees and it was an easier workout. I am ok with this. Remember, the goal for cardio is to stay in a fat-burning heart rate zone for 45 minutes and for it to be at a pace that I don't dread! ie, the most important thing right now is to STICK TO THE SYSTEM. It works!


Breakfast: Pre-workout: coffee
Post-Workout: 12 oz protein shake

Morning snack: protein bar

Lunch: turkey sandwich with jack cheese and white bread. Yogurt

Afternoon snack: Protein shake

Dinner: A GRANDE BURRITO. okay, I know what you're thinking..... but, it's actually a good fit for the program. It's from BLOOM's gourmet/ethnic department and has only 440 calories. I had this and a glass of wine.

Evening snack: Jello pudding and (don't laugh!, the last piece of birthday cake). I know, I said it was all gone a couple of days ago, but there was a itty bitty piece left and it was still in the big container and was taking up freezer space!!!!!!!! I had pulled it out to throw away and in a moment of ...................... ( you fill in the blank) I decided to eat it. AND IT WAS GOOD! And, because I've been keeping an eye on my weight during off days, I'm not TOO worried about making my weight. We will see!

Here are my thoughts: I am trying to eat like a 165 pound guy who is pretty active eats. And, while he eats a lot of good food selections, he can occassionally eat something that is entirely off-plan. AND, if he limits these excursions from THE PLAN and sticks to the exercise, he can do this. What are your thoughts?
