Day 4 – Morning run and Crazy Snacking

I went for a good morning run today, 5k with a good time!

So I said yesterday that today It was a 650 cal day. It was not possible, i was hungry! Like really hungry! So I will keep to 1300 cal.

I really need to stop the constant snacking, drinking tea, chewy gum business! I am not sure if it is because I am counting calories and that makes me obsessed or just boredom.

I am not going to count calories tomorrow, to see how I go. I will eat clean and healthy but without the fitness pal.

Weight: 57.6kg
Exercise: 5k run fast
Calories: more than 1300 crazy day! 😦

Morning Run – 5k

I thought to share with you some pics of my morning run! So enjoyable! Fresh weather here in Sydney!

Day 2 – Let’s Do it! Let’s get fit!

Day 2 – I felt tired again from my morning run.I hope this feeling gets better as I get fitter and used to it!

For the rest yesterday was a 1300 cal or less day, so compared with Monday it felt like a lot.

I get the fear though that I won’t lose much weight if I eat that much, we will see!

I weighted  myself in the morning – 58.0 kg so in theory I lost 500 g in a day. I won’t fool myself I know that is mostly water.

For dinner I had some carbs! Not ideal and had a tiny piece of cake as there was cake here in the office.

On Wednesday I will be doing some light weights, so I let my legs rest.

I think for a second day it was actually quite bad… Will do better tomorrow!

 

Dynamic Stretches for Runners

I was looking for some exercises that help me warm up and at the same time stretch my muscles before going for my morning run. I found these Dynamic Stretches specially designed for runners.

The article explain the Stretches in a video, click here for the video.

The sequence goes like this:

1. Toy Soldier
2. Leg lifts – standing in one leg you move the other leg like a clock pendulum.
3. Butt Kicks – not much to explain here, kick you butt with your foot.
4. Pike Stretch – this is a more complicated one.. Check the video.
5. Hacky Sack – bring one feet up to tough your opposite hand.
6. Walking lunges.

Day 1- Let’s do it! Let’s lose weight!

Well so far Day 1 going well.

Went for a 5k run this morning and I have to say that I was very tired about 2pm!

And about 3pm I hit the “let’s eat because I am bored” point. So I chew some chewy gum! I know not ideal but I am on my 650 cal day and didn’t have many calories to spare!

For dinner I had some mushrooms, zucchini and carrots spiced with cumin and some tomato paste in a Mountain Bread Wrap, with one square of SoyCo Tofu and some steamed broccoli. I probably ate about 700 cal today if I count all the veggies,etc. I feel quite full and satisfied after my dinner!

Now I am ready to go to bed!

Will be posting my weight tomorrow! i don’t think tomorrow will be another 650 cal day, but today it felt quite alright so I may do it, will see.
