Did a quick run at work and felt really good about it afterwards.

Strength and Stretch

Did a quick strength and stretch session today.
50 pushups
50 crunches
50 medicine squats with press
20 lunges
20 side leg lift each leg
20 reverse leg press each leg (tighten that butt)
and a few 30 second plank sets
Followed by a foam roller strength and stretch session.
Total workout about 35 minutes

Felt really good getting some strength in but the stretching was really needed I had quite a few tight spots in the legs and I am getting ready for a LSR tomorrow. 7miles.

New Sneaker Day!!!

Time for a change.

I want to change my thinking about food the way I look at it, the things I choose to eat, and the way certain things make me feel when I eat them. I need to think of my body. I need to fuel it for strength and health not for those small desires and little bits of burgery happiness. I sit here and think back to when I started my weight loss journey and wonder if I had followed great eating habits from life change day 1 where would I be? I would probably be totally buff and not this lumpy guy sitting in a chair typing this blog entry today, but here I sit. I start everyday rolling out of bed not to excited for the day I know I have a lot of work ahead I need to focus and not let my cravings control what I decide to eat. I need to think, I am running 6 miles in the morning what will help me do this? Whitecastle? No, probably grilled chicken over some leafy greens would be a better choice. I know this I need to put this into action. Where do I go wrong? Well I let stress get the better of me I also do not follow any schedule and that is certainly where a lot of problems arise. So the plan is to set my self up for success packing my work van with healthy snacks, packing a lunch at least 4 out of the 5 days and remember to drink water, water, water!

I am going to put these few steps in place over the next few weeks and will report back on the progress.
