okay, first of all, yes i realize that the amount of exercise that is happening to my body (that's sort of what it feels like) right now is extremely intense. BUT this is only one week, i'm in really good cardiovascular health, i'm not pushing myself to do anything but finish my bike rides and runs, and this is way more about proving to myself that i can finish something that's difficult than about any other goal. so, just so you know. don't worry!!! but thanks for your concerns.
now. on to the post.
okay, pause. i need to do these calculations first so i can eat the right amount of calories. i can't say why i didn't plan this beforehand except that maybe i was worried i wouldn't finish my run. but i did. so bam.
food
peach smoothie: 148c, 2.5p, 4f
breakfast tacos (have you figured out that this is my favorite breakfast? each week with different ingredients): 334c, 19p, 6.5f
orzo with chickpeas: 327c, 11p, 5f
vanilla creme and jam: 178c, 5.5p, 2.5f
1/2c granola with 1/2c soymilk: 314c, 8.5p, 4.5f
teriyaki chicken: 585c, 7.5p, 2.5f
4 graham crackers: 210c, 3p, 4.5f
totals so far: 2096c, 57p, 29.5f
exercise
i'm just combining my totals from today, but each way it was about 13.3 miles (yeah, turns out my odometer resets randomly....since i think yesterday was "shorter" but we got lost?) at at least 11mph: 1,019c
i ran for a little over 30 minutes somewhere around 6mph. i don't really care about my speed this week, at least i'm trying not to. all that matters is finishing the minimum amount of a run on the training plan: 367c
total: 1386c
net: 710c
...so i need to ingest another 500c. if i eat another serving of chicken, my totals will be:
2681c, 64.5p, 34f
and my net will be: 1295c
perfect! okay. i will eat the hell out of that chicken...and figure out something else for dinner for the rest of the week. ugh. so much for saving on gas money?
weekly stats: (obviously the averages on food and exercise will be weird because the commuter challenge started in the middle of the seven days. so, whatever. maybe i'll do a commuter challenge post on saturday. if i'm still alive.)
goal 1: posting at least every other day. CHECK.
goal 2: keep logs of food and exercise. CHECK.
average food totals: 1897c, 71p, 19f
average calories burned through exercise per day: 692c
average net: 999c (i calculated that differently this week, but i bet it's more accurate than before)
goal 3: try a new thing each week. CHECK. (commuting by bike to work!)
goal 4: spend an hour outside a day. CHECK. (yeah...i STILL am not really blogging about this, although i'm obviously spending a ton of time outside!)
goal 5: mindfulness in healthy living. CHECK. (something i could discuss more, but i usually do in any long post)
goals from last week:
more fiber!!: better, still not great.
hit net 1,200 calories most days: this was actually worse this week than last. ugh.
increase speed for long run to 6.9mph, at least for a lap (2.7 miles): that didn't happen, but sunday was BOILING so sorry i'm not sorry.
remember to blog about being outside and mindfulness: i'm doing this, but not as i expected to.
goals for next week
keep on keepin' on. oh, and stretching. that needs to get better somehow. ooh here's a goal: GO TO YOGA OUTSIDE THIS SATURDAY. yes plzthx.
i'll post weight loss/inches tomorrow morning. also, i think i'm going to start trying to do this on sundays instead of wednesdays. i think it will make the week make more sense since meals are similar etc.
i should write more...but i'm dying of exhaustion and somehow have to eat some chicken. wish me luck. i might wake up in chicken bones tomorrow morning.
