Week 18 Day 4

I did it!  I ran a mile in under 10 minutes.

I was not chocking and coughing when done so that was really cool too.  I own 10 minute miles now!  I now have to up my distance again or work on doing 2 miles for time.  I had some pep in my step after this.  I then did 30 minutes on the elliptical stepper machine.  This was a great workout despite only being 40 minutes.

Work was another great day too.  I cruised through the day and did not let little things side track  me.  Two of my co-workers also commented on the weight I lost and how I need to but new clothing since my shirts don’t fit anymore.  That was cool to here.  We usually bust each other’s chops more than compliment each other so it was good to here.

We are in the middle of a heat wave with temperatures in the high 90’s.  I was feeling ambitious so I did a garage workout today.  I left the side door wide open and the roll up door open a foot.  I was sweating big time and it felt good.  a few times when I was between sets I would step out the side door and feel the cool of the 90 degree plus temperatures.  I was that hot in the garage.  I did drink plenty of water when working out.

I ate well all day again with the usual stuff for breakfast and lunch.  Dinner was more ambitious with Tortellini, asparagus, yellow squash, chicken breast and vodka sauce to top it all.

Dinner was almost 900 calories but I stayed very close to my 2,200 goal.  I consumed 2,298 calories.  I like it.

tomorrow is going to be a jogging day with the wife in the AM and I promised her hills!  I can’t wait to see how hot it will feel tomorrow morning.  Well it will be Friday and that makes everything better!
