Interesting morning...
Went to the gym, did my thing...
5 minute warm up walk
20 minute STRAIGHT jog
4 minute walk
6 minute jog
4 minute walk
4 minute jog
6 minute cool down walk
Total Distance=3.105
Total Time=49 minutes
Okay, I'm still not fast but HOLY CRAP I jogged for 20 minutes, that's Crazy Talk!!! So BIG HAPPY MOMENT!!!
Maddy and I went out to Right Way Nutrition and had this Analysis thing done, where they calculate your health info. like your BMI and % body fat and muscle mass and such. Now this was NOT such a HAPPY MOMENT, BUT I wasn't shocked by the results. I'm not convinced the calculations are completely accurate, but it's a decent gauge, I think. Plus they come back and do it again, every few months, so it seems like I good way to judge my progress. I made them NOT show me the weight. I wanted so bad to know, but I made a deal with myself and I'm sticking to it. I think the contracts you make with yourself are kinda important, it's not good to cheat on yourself!!! So I exercised some self control, which is ALWAYS a HAPPY MOMENT for me, not to mention few and far between!!!
I now it's kinda dorky, and that my achievements aren't so BIG that they are really blog worthy, but to me these things seem HUGE. I can look back to a blog a few weeks ago and see when I struggled to jog 5 minutes straight, and was unable to exercise ANY control at all!! I still do NOT believe I will EVER be completely in control of my bad eating habits, chocolate will continue to be my nemesis, but every little step is still a little step in the right direction, and according to my Analysis I need to make these steps as my metabolic age is 73yrs.
