Day something or other

I walked for about 1.5 km, but nothing too serious. We were supposed to hit the gym but the boyfriend made excuses as to why we didn't have time... so when I got home I got in 3 km. The walk was not a success by any means. My average speed was 4.8 kph, and I lost my chap-stick. I was totally disappointed. Even thinking about it now, upsets me. BUT one great thing today happened... I started reading a new book "Living the Good Life- Your Guide to Health and Success" Written by David Patchell- Evans. GREAT BOOK thus far!!! I love every minute of this easy read! I encourage you to grab a copy at any Goodlife fitness centers. Anyway I am off to bed, take care.

Day 35

Day 34 didn't happen due to my knee injury... my knees are by no means healed but I can now move them without wanting to cry. Wine before jogging will never happen again. On a weird note.. I read on the internet that putting turmeric on your scrapes will help the healing along. So in order to test this theory, I put turmeric on the scrape on my hand, and let the knee scrape naturally heal. It turned my hand yellow, I tried so hard to get it off but nope. I just finished jogging, sweat like a pig, and the yellow tint is gone. I did 3.19 km, 30 mins, burnt 159 calories, and my AVERAGE SPEED was 6.4 kph! My fastest yet! Super proud of that, especially in this heat! Very very happy with it actually. I have been reading abit about waist packs (which are really fanny packs but not neon pink, and green) and to be honest, I think a "waist pack" which holds water may really help on these hot summer days. I will keep you updated on that. Speaking of keeping you updated... I owe you a couple meal plans... I am sorry about that. Here is week 1

Day 33

I have not been too active in the last little bit, I have gone for a few walks/jogs but forgot write about them. Anyway last night.... after a glass of wine, I decided to get out there and get some exercise... bad idea for the uncoordinated. I wiped out. Now my left hand is wounded and so are both my knees. I had the worst sleep last night. I didn't realize how much I get stepped on or kicked throughout the night. The dog stepped on my knee, and my boyfriend kicked me. After some more bleeding, I tried to get some sleep but I became paranoid  and I am going to be tired for the rest of the day. Moral of the story... don't drink a single glass of wine then go jogging if you have coordination issues to begin with.

Day 24

It looked like rain all day today so while it was lightly spitting, I decided to get out there. Lol well, I only walked 2 Ks before I was completely drenched. My average speed was 4.9 kph, burning 126 cals for a total of 25 minutes. Not bad for a rainy day. The weight hasn't really come off but then again, I haven't been a consistent worker outter person. I have to make sure that I get out there everyday.

Day 23 continued...

Instead of studying I decided go for another walk/jog. My average speed was 5.2 kph! My max speed was 13.7 kph. The distance was 4.61 km and my total time was 53 mins. I sweat alot this time, I still feel sweat forming on my forehead. Kinda gross I know, but I feel great. I am noticing that the more I sweat, the better I feel afterwards. Did I mention that I found $20 laying on the ground today? Yup! It's a sign that this broke student should continue to walk/jog outdoors and not spend money on gym fees. I enjoy the outdoors more anyway. Thanks for reading!

Day 23

I went for a 42 min walk/ jog this morning and came home looking like a ripe tomatoe! It felt awesome! My average space was 5.1, and I burnt 430 calories. I wore black pants, a thin tshirt and a wind breaker. I was kinda over dressed considering it was 21 degrees Celsius outside, but that helped me sweat. The boyfriend and I then went for a picnic. I love my picnics. Picnics allow us to eat healthy, spend some time outside and enjoy the weather, I love them. Once I got home, I put on some of my favorite tunes and danced around for an hour. Lol I had alot of fun and since no one was around to watch me, I had fun doing some funky new moves that I wouldn't normally try. Now my back is all sweaty and I'm going to jump into the shower! Thanks for reading my blog!
