Of Onions and Workouts.

So, tonight was workout 3 for the week. Run #4 is optional and I'm still going to try to hit it. The run was great, but rather, uhm.. .burpish.

We went out to mexican for dinner tonight. I ended up having just a big salad with green peppers, onions, chicken breast, mushrooms, lettuce and a tad of tomato. No dressing. No chips. No beans, rice or dip. I DID however indulge in a diet pepsi. It was harder than I thought. I caught myself just auto-piloting the hand towards the chips until I realized what I was doing and dropped it like a hot potato. My husband was kind enough to move them out of my reach.

I did a 20 minute Jillian Michaels workout from her 30 Day Shred DVD. I had just started Level I when I had to pleasure of my hubby joining me! It was fun to do a quick workout and suffer together. After that, I went and did my 30 minutes of walk/run. I kept it above 3.5 mph tonight and cranked it to 4.0 for the run portions. I admit, I was a bit more lax on run timing and started almost every run early. It felt REALLY good to push a bit. I could have run faster than the 4.0, but even with it seeming slow, I need to follow RYBO! as best as I can.

Note to self: Onions give you burps. Running exacerbates said burps. Yuck.

Another quick note: I did treat myself yesterday and today with a bit of sugar-free Dove chocolate. Not a full serving and it was only the last two days. Logged it and moved forward. It's my reward for NOT having a bowl of chips, huge thing of bean dip, no DQ Blizzards and no soda the entire week, but for tonight. My pop consumption has gone WAY down and I'm happy to report that I am having 1, MAYBE 2 per WEEK now as opposed to 1 or 4 a day. It's been tea or water all day for me and I'm doing well on it. Need to up the water intake a bit more, but I'm getting at least 7 or 8 glasses a day. Okay, some days a little less... more like 3 or 4, if you don't count the green tea as hydrating.

The weekend plans are rather hectic, but I am going to stay true to the plan. Sunday is officially 7 days in to my 17 day eating program and the start of week 4 RYBO!

Gimmie Some! PT!
Good for you! Good for me!
