Today turned out a lot better than it might have. I went for a walk at lunch, but as the day was winding down a major thunderstorm hit. I was a little worried that the weather was going to prevent me from going to the gym (as I was going to be biking home in a torrential downpour). Instead the weather broke just in time for me to leave.
Running on the treadmill also went better than I expected. I intentionally didn't go up to my fastest pace, but after 30 minutes of running my knee wasn't hurting at all. Hopefully this means it's going to be better in time for the next season of Team Challenge to start. Also, with luck I'll be able to maintain this pace for the next three weeks to make up for the weak first two days of the three week challenge. Nonetheless, for the first time in several weeks I feel like I actually accomplished something with the diet today.
Food today: egg and cheese sandwich (300 calories), turkey sandwich (500 calories), granola bar and a couple munchkins (200 calories), salmon, rice and green beans (900 calories). Exercise was a lunch time walk and a half-hour on the treadmill (524 calories).

Good job Seth! I think you're going to find that your fitness comes back much quicker than you expect, since you haven't really allowed yourself to get really out of shape.
ReplyDeleteSo proud big brother. :-)
Yeah, I'm hoping that's the case. I do feel a lot better than I did even a week ago, so I think that's a good sign.
