Day 2 on the Deadmill

Went to the gym again yesterday and ran on the treadmill. I didn't go on Tuesday because of the untimely finale of my beach volleyball team in the playoffs. Anyway, 3 miles in 37 minutes (10 songs). I benefited by creating a quick playlist on my ipod so i didn't have any 7 or 8 minute songs in the middle of my run. Yes, Monday I got stuck with an 11 minute song at the end of my run that damn near killed me. I felt good, except for my foot which felt horrible.

The whole eating right thing is the hardest part about this for me. Going to the gym is not that big of a deal. My wife isn't home until 7 most days so I have a 2 hour window to get home, get to the gym, and get started on dinner or whatever task awaits at home. Eating right is a whole different story. I topped off what was a pretty good diet day with a mini-, homemade chocolate cream pie last night. Yum, but bad for the belly. Moving forward, I'm trying to stick with a bowl of cereal for breakfast, fruit and a pb&j during the day, and dinner at night. If I have to snack after dinner I want to keep it limited. If you ask me, there is nothing worth snacking on that is any good for you. I also still can't decide if italian ice is completely horrible or a nice alternative to a half a box of cheez-its.

Back to the deadmill today. 3 miles and a stretch, then home sweet home with some ice on the foot. Yay!
