Slowly but Surely

I have had a busy last couple of days so I have not blogged but I am still a-go-go!

After work today, I went to the gym to do my 35 minutes of cardio. I was feeling sluggish so I started my run off with a jog at 5.5, mixed with a walk at 4.0. As I got closer to 35, I started to think about how I ran 3 miles in 35 minutes just the other day. I felt like I had already set the bar. So, as I approached 30 minutes, just passing the 2 mile mark, I decided to beat that 35 minutes. I started running at 6.5-7.0. I had 5 minutes to finish that mile! At 34.30, I made it. I finished my cool down and the above picture was my total. It felt good that I pushed myself.

Dinner was delicious tonight. Hamburger patty, tomato, avocado and a black bean corn relish. However, I had a sweet tooth so after my meal, I had a very chocolaty glass of milk (the only chocolate I have in the house). And I did have a bowl of cereal at 9:00pm. (not good). One step & day at a time.

Healthy Wishes,
Alex
