So, today officially begins my personal challenge. I did pretty good. I had some yummy scrambled eggs for breakfast, which is a big step for me because I am not the eating breakfast type of person. Anyway, then I went to the gym, it was pretty empty, which is fine by me. I did 15 minutes on the stationary bike, and then I move up to the tread mill where I wanted to spend another 15 minutes for my total of 30 minute of exercise. My plan on the tread mill was to run 1/2 a mile and walk, at a fast pace, 1/2 a mile. Well the running didn't work out this time. The muscle that runs up the side of your shin, well it was a little sore from my last run, and well I decided to just walk it. I walked at a pace where it was very easy to walk or jog, at a speed of 3.8 for anyone that knows a tread mill. Anyway, I ended up walking 1 mile in a little under my 15 minutes. Yeah! So all in all I have accomplished my fitness goal for day 1!
When I came home from the gym I was a little hungry so I had a small granny smith apple with 2 tbsp of Carmel, (left over Ice cream topping), and did you know that 2 tbsp of Carmel ice cream topping has less calories and fat then 2 tbsp of peanut butter? I did either go figure! For lunch the husband and I had Lemon Pepper Tilapia on a bed of rice...yummy!, and for supper we are having meatless spaghetti, which I prefer it that way anyhow. However, being that is Ash Wednesday, I am observing the no eating meat today or on Fridays.
One day down 39 more to go! HA-Ha!
