Proud

Last night B came over for a PT session. It was pouring with rain but I still wanted to go running outdoors. my goal was to run to the top of CP Road. It's about 1.2km's but has a few sneaky inclines. The very first time I attempted to run this, I got to 1min40sec before wanting to pass out, you know i was sweating, panting, all red & hot... after barely even 2minutes!!! I did work up to about 4 minutes & even that was extremely hard on my body.
I did make it to the end of CP Road once & it took me about 15 minutes. It was HARD! I did it again on Christmas day & it was still hard!
Anyway, last night we set off to get to the end of CP Road. I halved my original time, it took about 6minutes. yay! But we didn't stop there - we kept running about 500 metres. I wanted to stop so bad, but I knew it was all in my head because my lungs weren't burning, my legs weren't aching. I think I'm afraid of pushing myself too hard in case I fail.
I ran all the way home & the hardest part was the incline about 100metres from the finish line. It took 20minutes 20seconds & it was 3km's.

I know there are people who can run 5km, 10km etc. & probably think 3km is nothing but I've come from struggling to run 30seconds to now being about to easily run 20minutes.


Dinner last night:
whole oven roasted zucchini
1 small oven roasted chicken wing
cup of boiled brown rice

Breakfast this morning:
2 strawberries
250mL full fat milk - yuck! but there was nothing else.
27gm slimming powder
about 8 blueberries

Morning Tea:
Organic Raisin & Manuka Honey bar (174cals! but so worth it)

Lunch:
Salad with 1/2 tsp french dressing
1/4cup brown rice
1 tin tuna (amazingly my lunch was extremely filling)
lite vanilla yoghurt even though i was full

about 4 cups of milk tea



Weight last night: 60.8! I told B I wasn't worried about losing weight over Christmas/New Year - I was only worried about putting it on, & I haven't!!
