July 1st 2008

Well Day 1 is finished and number 2 is fast approaching to being over. I feel like if I can eat healthy at night then my weight WILL come off. Finished the night off with some decaf green tea and a good nights sleep.
Training for today was to be a swim and run. Most Tuesdays I am able to get a swim in before my pm meeting but actually worked all day today.

Training: RAC swim 1000 yards. 250, 500, 250. I really need to start making 4-5 days in the pool for me to really feel the water. When I was avg 7k per week I really felt good.
Showered, dressed and went down to Wiley Drive and ran 2 loops for 6 miles. The first mile was very painful in my left lower calf but dissipated over the run. I guess its obvious put really the run the past 2 or 3 months has been pretty labored and not as fluid as I am used to. My weight I believe is starting to affect me. I told myself when I dieted that I would not lose weight to the point where it would affect my run/efficiency but I am now in the opposite direction with it hurting my run/efficiency. Its really hitting me hard mentally. I mean 6 miles were pretty hard and that's usually a walk in the park. But it will change, soon.

Diet: 6 am - Bowl Kashi with Soy milk
10 am - handful of salted almonds and nectarine
1pm - half turkey sand with evoo
330 pm - other half turkey sandwich
7 pm - large salad with corn, can of tuna fish, sm amount of parm, 6 olives, cashews and 3 tbsp dressing
8pm - decaf green tea

Continuing on this direction will lead to success. I need to look for alternatives so I don't burn out on the same foods though.
