I've decided to count my water running as running miles...seems fair to me. Sooo...I started today with an upper body workout. This time I recorded everything I did and notated where I need to increase weights so that I can actually get stronger - what a concept! This afternoon we took the fam to the rec center and I walked two miles on the treadmill and then did some ab work and stretching. After that, we went to the pool and I did 50 minutes of water-running. I figure I'll count each 10 minutes of water-running as a mile. I'm also going to count elliptical miles as running miles, at least on the horrible elliptical that is SO much harder than REAL running at the rec center. I promise NOT to count walking miles as running miles, though...
As a side note, I started eating BFL style today. I am already accustomed to eating 6 meals a day, but I've been carb-counting for so long, I forgot how my body reacts to carbohydrates. I felt like I was STARVING all day! Stupid blood sugar spikes. The carbs I ate weren't even simple carbs, except for maybe the fruit, I guess...but grains make my insulin levels go crazy. I wish I knew more about what was going on here. Ah, well...it's my body, the great science experiment. :D |
