Cardio - 30 minutes of running, and here’s the cool part: out on the National Mall! It’s un-seasonably warm this week, and when I started my weight workout all 3 treadmills were occupied (4th one has been out of order for 2 weeks). The thought hit me that I could head outside for my cardio, and even though a treadmill had opened up by the time I finished my weights, I was still inspired to run outside so… I did!!
I’m such a whimp when it comes to running....(most of my winter has been spent on the treadmill). I have NO excuses, except that I leave for work early to get a swim in sometimes first, and it’s dark early.
The hilly trails around my townhouse are challenging, but still a chance for exploration since I only moved into the neighborhood two months ago - and it was running around the Washington Monument and alongside the Reflecting Pool that was so much fun last week!
My gut tells me (no pun intended) that I am doing OK on the nutrition side, and I would like to be able to give you a daily calorie count, but I’m still not up to speed on that.
The breakfasts and lunches remain straightforward - especially on the weekdays - but I don’t have an empirical number that can tell me exactly how gooder or badder I am being for dinners and on weekends.
I know I am making OK choices overall, and there is less junk in my cupboards right now.
Plus, the belt is getting looser even if the scale is not racing downwards like it did the first two weeks…
Watch out, some of the melodies of “Keep the Car Running” remind me of John Cafferty’s “On the Dark Side,” which is good if you like 80’s music but a little annoying if (like me) you reeeallly don’t…
