I told myself last night that I was taking today off. Well, that didn't happen lol. Well it wasn't going to take it off because I'm lazy or anything. I just had a lot of anatomy and physiology homework to complete before class tonight. Luckily, Jackson was up at 5 am, so I just stayed up after he ate to finish it off, which gave me time to workout today. My newest goal is that for any workout I go to do, whether it be 5K training or crosstraining on the days I'm not running, I need to go cardio for a total of an hour. So today here's what I did:
Workout
Elliptical (weight loss intervals) ~ 30 minutes
Walking @ 3.5 mph on an incline of 2-4 ~ 30 minutes
Instead of just doing the elliptical and burning 350-360 calories...just that extra 30 minutes of walking burns another 222 calories! It just allows me to eat a little more during the day, or not...depending on my hunger status. I usually am not hungry after a workout, but I always eat because I know it's bad not to refuel your body up! I already planned all my meals and snacks out for the day, so I know what times I'm eating and what exactly I will be eating. I have to plan...especially on days like today when I have class. We only get a 20 minute break during class to eat...and it's not like they have good food to eat there. So I started bringing a Kashi bar and something else thats low in calories.
Anyways, I am looking forward to my running training tomorrow. I seriously think I might become a long distance runner if I really push myself!
