Today ends my first week. I feel better than good. My wife made some protein pancakes for us and we each also had some Morningstar fake sausages to get us fed. It was a cold morning but we decided to go on a hike. We went to Donaldson Run in Arlington. For the most part it was great. The trails were mostly still frozen and the water crossings were mostly dry too.
I hiked here with my wife and brother-in-law about 5 months ago and the hills really kicked my butt!
I did the hills better and my wife and I were able to pace with each other very well. That is her up there saying hurry up and take the picture!
We hiked for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Not bad. We then went grocery shopping for another 35-45 minutes. We shared an apple on the way to the store and as soon as we got home we made some lunch. We did a tuna salad with shredded carrots and celery, and instead of mayo we used Dannon Greek yogurt. It wasn’t bad just a little bland. I was fiending for food so I did also have a serving of baby carrots, 1.5 servings of leftover Cous Cous, and half a large red pepper.
Tomorrow is the start of week 2 and will include the new weigh-in and pictures. I can’t wait to see the scale so I can tell what my weekend has done to my body.
