Weigh In Day & Running Totals for 29 Jun 09

Well I am happy to have last week behind me now so I can move on and improve on a crappy last week of exercising. Now that I am half way through my deployment I will start to get stricter with what I am eating. Plus I have added weights to my weekly routine. I think subconsciously I was trying to kill myself today because I did squats before I ran today and let's just say that after doing squats your legs don't work so well when you trying to run. So I had to concentrate really hard on not falling off of the treadmill today. I am sure that I looked wonderful trying to run with two dead legs. I gutted it out though and got in both weight lifting and a "good" run. I am curious to see how my legs feel tomorrow though. I am sure it will not be so great! I lifted weights for 45 minutes today and I hope to keep my weight lifting sessions to 45-60 minutes each time. I am only lifting three times a week which should be good enough especially when I am still running 6 times a week. Today was weigh in day and I gained a pound but I am not tore up over it. I still hope to be in the 240's by next Monday. I will keep my fingers crossed. Today I ran 6.17 miles (because that is all my legs had left in them), burned 1,173 calories, and I ran for 76 minutes (yes it took me that long to run 6.17 miles). It was a good day for working out. I hope to throw my body off so I will continue to lose fat and put back on some muscle. I would love to get under 15% body fat, I think that would be great. I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. I love and miss you all. Take care, Until next time...
