Learn To Run Week 2

Today was the beginning of the second week at the running clinic. Today we ran 1 minute and walked 1 minute. It really wasn't that bad. I am happy that when I run/walk I am not at the back of the pack but closer to the middle/front. Also we got a nice shirt with our sign up and I took a large instead of an xl! This is such a victory, I am usually the one who is in the largest shirt or wearing a men's size and I wasn't! Yeah me! Next run is on Wed.

I was suppose to try the boxing gym for a week ( I had a coupon), but now I can't find said coupon and I am really sad. I think that I will try and see if they can let me have the week minus the coupon, hey it's worth a try.

I am tired of this up down crap, I made a vow to myself, that as of TODAY, I am going to lose two pounds a week, I CAN DO IT! I really want to hit the big 6-0 loss mark and that is 212 (211.8 if you are counting), I am about 7 pounds away I can do that in four weeks (July 5). I am trying to eat super clean for the next four weeks. I have to do this.

Did you know that this week is clean-eating week? Readers try and eat-clean at least one day this week. Here are the eat-clean principles:

• Eat 5 or 6 small meals a day
• Eat every 2 to 3 hours
• Combine lean protein and complex carbs at every meal
• Consume adequate healthy fats eat day (nuts, oils)
• Drink at least 2 liters of water a day
• Never miss a meal especially breakfast
• Avoid over processed, refined foods, especially white flour and sugar
• Avoid chemicals, preservatives and artificial sugar
• Avoid colas and juices
• Avoid alcohol
• Depend on fresh fruit and veggies
• Stick to proper portion size

Try it!  I cannot say that I eat clean all the time, but I will admit that it is in my head most of the time.

Have a great week!
