So I had a few days off (since Wed) But I am back and with a vengeance. I seem to have a plateau~ so if you know me I research things a lot. So I hit the web and started searching found lots of things to do and not do to help- but pretty much convinced myself I am not at fault. I may need to mix up my workouts or change my calories - but I am on the right track. So today I was doing various things- trying to mix it up and just burn some calories - being since Wed I somehow gained 2 lbs grrrr. I used my hand weights and did diffrent punches with them and did arm lifts , press etc. did high knees- alternating knees - 3 different types of mountain climbers - did steps ups on my pool steps. Later went for a hike with hubby and Steven- that was 40 mins- I wanted to go longer but Steven thought he was going to just "die" if we did not go back and get some food. I tried getting him to later go for a bike ride with me or play badminton basketball- anything- he was to tired from his hike. I need to get him more active he is 9 and I am 44 and I am begging him to play with me lol . So tonight I ate oatmeal with 2tsp of flax seed and 1/2 scoop soy protein in it for my dinner/pre run. I waited an hour or so did a warm-up walked around the block .6 miles was 61 calories- now I was warm- so I ran to night 6 laps around the neighborhood nonstop 3.6 miles for 514 calories- total count of 575! Whoot! time was 50:43! On 8/16 I ran on the treadmill 3.1 miles and time was 45 min. Going to take a short run tomorrow morning maybe 1.5 or 2 miles. I have been on vacation this week - enabling me to exercise more and when I want to- so I have to work this all in to my schedule again and make sure I still get plenty of rest. I came home and ate a handful of raisins- now need to go find some small source of protein- then off to the shower cause I am drenched!
My total calorie burn today was 891 - not bad at all!!
