I had a good day exercise-wise yesterday. I had purchased a new pair of insoles for my running shoes - The berry Superfeet - man, oh man, what a contrast to the sof sol brand. I put my foot into the shoe and told hubby I was going for a run - (not planned, but those insole felt so good). I felt like a kid with new running shoes - except I did not run around saying, "I can run fast now." haha. I ran a little over 2 miles on the road here in front of our house. I even ran up the hill that I hate because it is so challenging for me to make it to the top without stopping. All I can say here is --- SUPERFEET!!
GD1 and I went to running class in the evening, another 2.6 miles. Plus a bit of a walk cool down to give me just a bit over 5 miles total. This season, I seem to be able to run for longer periods of time before I feel like I am totally out of breath. So that is an improvement.
My eating did not go as planned yesterday - I added some riced cauliflower and oatmeal with cashew coconut milk for breakfast - that seemed to have kept me satisfied until right before running class - so I had a bowl of cold cereal, banana and cashew coconut milk. I did munch on some potato chips after class - but it was controlled eating and not a binge.
Perhaps the morning run kept my appetite in check?
My eating plan for today:
coffee
riced cauliflower oatmeal with blue berries, banana, and mandarin topped with cashew coconut milk
split pea soup
salad
sweet potato
kidney beans
asparagus
spinach
salad
I am hoping to eat better today ( meaning more vegetables) . At least I am planning what I ought to be eating. I just need to stick with it - but at least I am not giving up.
Note to self: drink more water!
