Had a good weekend - didn't do much tracking of calories, but I made mostly decent choices. And I didn't drink anywhere near as much water on Friday, and I could definitely tell that I've gotten used to drinking more of it - I was definitely thirsty Friday night, and my lips were dry. Surprised me!
Today (Sunday) I had a performance with my troupe, which was a lot of fun, AND before that, I went out out wogging* for the first time in a long time. I was out for 30 minutes and jogged for about 15 of those! (NOT straight - I'm nowhere near there, yet! I alternated about 5 min. walking with 5 min. jogging.) And my wind was better than I 'd thought it would be, and my feet didn't hurt afterwards, either - yay! Felt great! I just hope I didn't overdo it TOO much and wind up in pain tomorrow or Tuesday... I've done that a few times. Not fun. But it really felt good to be outside and moving! I'd forgotten that I really enjoy jogging -- once I'm doing it... I really have to remember that in the mornings when I've planned on getting up before work to exercise but the warmth and comfort of the bed is far too seductive to resist. Maybe that will help motivate me to actually drag myself out of bed and do it...
*Wogging - alternating between walking and jogging
Have a great Monday and good week, all!
Like the word "wogging".
ReplyDeleteLike the cozy warm bed even better....so hard to leave it.
Isn't it funny the more water you drink to more you seem to crave it??? Good job wogging!
ReplyDeleteI've been doing the Couch 2 5k training program, and it's great! It's an interval training plan, and each week increases the amount of time you're jogging. I've been using the Podrunner musical podcasts, which has been GREAT because it's just musical cues of when to walk and when to jog, and it's upbeat and easy to keep the pace (most of the time!). Keep up the good work!:)
ReplyDeleteYou should have titled the post Wogging. That's freakin hilarious!
ReplyDeleteI wish I could say I came up with "wogging" myself, but I didn't. And I can't remember where I originally saw it in order to give due credit. :(
ReplyDeleteOrshadow, I would love to know which podcast you're using! Could you send me an e-mail or FB message to let me know? That would be great! :) Or post it here, so others can find it, too!
