Feeling great

Don't you just love a day when you feel like you've accomplished something?

I haven't done everything that I would have liked to have gotten done, but a main goal for the weekend has been completed: another assignment has been shot down. (!!)


On saturday I jogged for 5 minutes on the treadmill...

Today- drumroll please--- A whole ten minutes!
Yes, I sweated it out, puffed along, carrying my heavy self a whole ten minutes...
It wasn't too hard, but more so a mental challenge of trying to stick it out the whole time.
I was thinking about it today, but I think I am more motivated to jog when there is a room full of people at the gym- and especially if there is someone running beside me.

I remember when I used to go to another gym, i was so blown away and challenged to up-the-ante whenever I was on the treadmill next to this slight, blind pensioner. He ran and ran and ran on that treadmill, he would go for an hour at a time. He would find his way with his stick to the treadmill, and proceed blow any of my attempts out of the water- a blind man, probably in his seventies! Ack... anyway. I figure if he can do it, I can too. So.. I'm gonna stick at it and try to improve :)

Food wise today:

Breakfast: 2x multigrain with vegemite
Lunch: Subway 6" veggie delite w/ cheese.
Snack: Medium handful of almonds and macadamias. 1x medium skinny flat white one sugar coffee.
Dinner: 2x strawberry fruche yoghurts.

Probably not the most healthy day nutrition wise.. but... the best I could do as working very hard :)
Have not looked into iron supplements yet.. thinking maybe in the holidays I'll get my nutrition and supplements sussed out.

Exercise:
47 mins treadmill, 20 mins exercise bike.
8 min ab workout in the evening.

More thoughts before I go....
I am feeling very positive, and am feeling much happier and able to cope with stress.
I hope this keeps up- I'm sure it will as long as I keep up the exercise.
I can see my collarbones are a LITTLE more visible and two little ribs are faintly emerging from the f l a b.
My stomach feels flatter and I feel more confident in my jeans because my stomach isn't as bloated looking (or feeling.)

Have called mum to wish her happy mothers day.. And say that she will be a lucky mum as she gets to celebrate it twice.
Once with my sisters, and again in a few weeks when I come down after uni's finished this semester. I'll take her out for a dinner and a dance at the pub, and give her a special day even though I couldn't make it today. She understands :)

Well, signing off...
Everyone have a productive week!
