Breakfast of champions:
oh yea. Greek Yogurt (Orange Cream flavor, first timer so I'll let you know how it goes), walnuts, sugar free Jello, and good ol' H2izzO (/hova).
I've decided that I wasn't doing enough to lose weight/stay in shape. Reflecting back on these past 2 months, I would say I'm at about 70% on my commitment level. I skip workouts, I sometimes don't eat the healthiest of foods, and I don't try my all during said workouts/runs. F that noise. My goal now is to power through until December when I leave for Vietnam. I'm basically at my short term goal to be at my high school weight (270). My ideal goal is 220 or less. Initially I told myself 'give it a good 9 months to a year and I'll get there.' That's going to take forever. I'm only 2 months and ~ 3 weeks away from leaving (eeek!) That's 12 weeks looking at my calendar (starting on Sunday that is). 4lbs a week, it's a little extreme and demanding, but doable. When you have this much weight to lose, I think it's definitely possible.
I definitely have to be more consistent though. No more junk snacking. No taking a slice of pizza and thinking it's not going to hurt. No more skipping running because I'm not 'feeling it'. No more skipping gym because I forgot my headphones. DO FREAKIN WORK. The motto this whole time has been "Can't Stop Won't Stop" and I'm not being true to it. Time to man up.
Good start last night. Instead of the usual 5K run, I did an extra mile. So 4 miles total, 45:31, at 11:23 per mile. That's a good start for me. Normally I run the 5K in around the 10:30 to 11:30 range, so keeping that pace for the extra mile is great. Next time I'll either have to add a 5th mile or see if I can decrease my time. I'm thinking more adding the 5th mile because I felt last night that I could have kept going but it was getting real dark and some parts aren't really well lit. I'll have to start a tad earlier if that's the case. Or wait til the times change. Because as we all know: the times...they are a changing. hyuck, hyuck, hyuck.
I'm subbing today. Only have day, but for 2 classes. Yes, I am that amazing that I can sub 2 classes at a time. Actually, 3 since one of those is a combo class....To clarify, they have water safety classes at the Y so I'm with one class for half of half (a quarter?) of the day, then switch over to the next after they are done. Subbing has been okay so far. I prefer the older kids but I've been with the younger ones so far.
Time for Ollie Williams and the blaccuweather report...Ollie? IT'S GON RAIN!! Thank you Ollie.
Yea, it's that raining feeling. Winds gusting, chihuahuas really close to being lifted off the ground, trees swaying.
You are the smell before rain. You are the blood in my veins.
Sorry. It is a Throwback Thursday after all. So, back to the point (GET ON WITH IT!). Yeah, long day of work today til 6pm. Viet class til 9:30pm. Then gym after. GO TO THE GYM THIS TIME, DON'T SKIP BECAUSE YOU'LL 'work out at home' pfff. Right. You've said that every time, and you've yet to do it once Joser.
The End.
Oh! Before that. This little girl (2nd grade) had a conversation with me (conversation is a loose term considering it was just her talking and me listening, as I do best) and it went like this:
"Coach Magaña, right now you're 28. Next year you'll be 29. And then another, and another, and another, and another. And then you're dead. The end."
She does have an amazing point.
