Almost a Week!

Even though it was tough to pull myself out of bed this morning (remember, I get up around 4:30), I did make it to the gym. Whoo-hoo. I'm itching to start training for the C25K again, but have been having a couple issues with my left foot. The issues aren't hindering my ability to speed-walk, but do hinder my jogging ability. I'm sure, after a bit of time, the soreness will go away. After speed-walking, I focused on lower body strength training. I find it odd, that after only fully committing myself to exercise this week, I am noticing it easier to get through the first 2 sets of my 15 reps. The last set generally takes a bit more, but I am noticing a difference all ready! I can't wait for a couple weeks to pass and see where I'm at then.

I've all ready had breakfast. I've been making oatmeal for myself lately, which I have been including a serving of fresh fruit in the mix. My favorite is 3/4 c. of fresh blueberries added in with 1/2 c. of oats and 1 c. of water while it cooks in the microwave for about 5 minutes. After it's cooked, I add in a bit of sugar and 1/2 c. of skim milk. I also eat 1-2 hard-boiled eggs along with my oatmeal. Today, my total calorie intake for breakfast was 432. I've also taken my vitamins (multi-vitamin, B-12, and vitamin C) for the day.
