NSV for June; Goals for July

Friday 5 RUN in 33:40-ish; 3 miles was in 32:40 - no walking goal
Sunday 1 mile RUN TT in 8:15!

Monday 3 miles RUN in 31:40ish with a few short walks

The Breakthrough of realizing I can run, I'm not injured, I can I can I can. This lead to a breakthrough of 1 mile from 10:02 to 8:15. 

GOALS for JULY: Run 6 miles in a run, walks are OK but minimal; and 1 mile TT in under 8:05

Last week I started 75Hard again and the Cheat Meals are better defined and HARD to skip: rice, oats, RC FB PB dates applesauce. I'm still in mug meals and unmej but those alone are tough. I keep trying the Just One and the It's the Weekend and It's Just One. I win. 

The NSV - still no scrubs but bra is better, yet that could be hormone fluxy stuff. 1384 to 1362. Eh, but it's only really been the last half of the month and only really this last week since I got really on board to change. 

No dump mugs of instant oats. No dates in PB. No rice and rice, and more rice. Those 2lbs aren't much and they might not be real Change in that I see this flux up/down. So GOALS for JULY: Scrubs dammit; and under 134. 133. 

Other goals of walking in the evening: 6/7 last week
And goal of bullet journal: good
Goal of lowering carbs: good but it doesn't show because I wasn't logging before
Goal of 3x Fit+ on non-run days: only 2/3 last week

I'm on board for the 50K on my birthday, LA wants to join. He'd better get training. 

75Hard again, progress?

Monday RUN/WALK 7x 3(1) so 2.7 in 31 mins, then WALK 30 mins for 1.83 miles

Tuesday STRENGTH Fit+ #4 Upper, later another WALK for 30 min

I'm settling into a habit of 30 mins in the AM and 30 mins walk in the PM. This will be my 45 mins for 75Hard, I'll get up to 45 mins as needed. I'm alternating the RUN/WALK days with STRENGTH, and planning to RUN more and RUN/WALK less over time. 

As for diet, a challenge. "Monday" is the first day and weekends a loss. Let's summarize by saying that potato chips, PB and dates, instant oats, etc and the like don't add up to any sort of improvement or positive change. 

I'm switching over (with delays and excuses) to a lower carb diet, increasing to CoachPs plan of 35% protein and 50% fat - keeping the lack of gall bladder (oooh, that's an excuse) in mind. And the fact that I rather like my filling but carb-laden quinoa+oat+veg lunch (delay). 

Yesterday, all of Day 1, went great until I made plov and ate a bunch of it after 8pm and went to bed feeling yuck and blurpy.

My face spasms awful lately. LA home late after 10pm last night, so now I'm tired and want to sleep.  Excuses. Complaints. Whining. 

Bullet Journaling again; 1 mile run test

Saturday WALK 45 mins 2.6 miles
Sunday RUN and STRENGTH 45+ min walk with Lev and a 10:04 minute run test. Baseline!
Monday RUN WALK 3"(1") for 2.75 miles in just over 30 mins. Almost 3 miles!

Will need to ETA Sunday's workouts, not done yet. 

Yesterday I used their sleeping in until 3pm to get my bullet journal books at Michaels. Put a week or two of thought into it, found them on sale, and set one up yesterday. I can't remember my old layouts yet, and can't decide how I want it to look yet. 

Saturday was a meal mess. If it was banned, I pretty much had it (expect FB, RC, pot chips or taters at all). But oat rice Ppowder PB yog. Ugh. 

Come back later.

Weekends, nights, days at home. All a mess. Needs to change. 
-----
Monday, plan was to IF until 11:55 or noon, then M1. Busted that up and fucked it up and now salmon, rutabega, cottage cheese, yogurt, protein powder - not a lot of each but each and WFT. Not I feel sick. No more PP after this. Only 130 some days left. And after 70 days - what change?!

You've only got one shot (Lose Yourself)

RUN WALK 10x of 2' (1') about 30 mins and 2.6 miles again. Getting the urge for more, faster. 

Downloaded Lose Yourself again, it's the CDA song from 2012, right? Remember running on Lewis and Clark and deciding to run CDA at the 8 mile mark of the trail? So long ago. 

Yesterday went better? Skipped the at-home M1, had cheese and apple around 10, lunch around 1, dinner as the bad habit usual around 6 of chicken, cucumber, hummus, salmon, broccoli, dates, yogurt, yogurt, grapes, more maybe. Oh yea, a spoon of rice and a serve of oats. I logged it as <12 remembered more, 13, remembered more 14....remembered more. Is that better?

Realized it's been about 2 weeks without FB and RC. That's certainly better!!

Full moon, full me

STRENGTH fit plus 20 mins total
WALK

Last night more of the same, and would have been OK except for random unplanned rice. All good others. I set a "1 is OK" but it does need to be PLANNED.

Full Strawberry Moon

 RUN WALK 2.4 in 31ish. 9x 2”(1”)

Running feels great. Ankle is ok, poppy and pained sometimes after sitting or driving. 

Last night went kinda as planned. Dinner plus chicken salmon grapes pickles turnips cantaloupe. More? How is that at all “kinda as planned”?!

“I’ll start with the full moon tomorrow”. 

So today started with chicken wings, feta cheese, pear. Plan was nothing. I did like this yesterday and was full until 1pm but still overate. There’s stress in this too. Lev is working long hours come home late, and I miss him. HTF is that related to overeating?

I look at Nova, who’s gained 5-6 pounds, and this she looks fatty and should exercise more and so should I. I see coworker with 16:8 and think I should do that. I see kids not conveyor belting and think I should do that. I need to look in the mirror and see that I am visibly bigger, need to have self control, and need to see how it looks when I eat and eat and eat. Other people see this too, just like I see it in others. 

What is my plan?

Brain Pain Dump

In VCP meeting today Terri offered to make us cookies for the 4 surgeries she's sending next week, then said "tracy eats real healthy" and "send your favorite cookies" and I'm wondering if "cookies" can be a mug mash of yogurt, instant oats, PB, and PP. I guess you can eat such that people think you're "real healthy" but still be overweight and gain 10 pounds in 6 months. :(

Yesterday I was bounce nom'ing the above mentioned mug mash, and yet still I wonder how 10 in 6 happened. 

Today my bra doesn't fit, my pants kinda fit, my scrubs certainly didn't fit, my belly folds when I sit. 

I get an add for Factor_ meal kits and realize it's just prepacked food in measured portions. I'm already "doing that" but NO I'm NOT doing that. See above mentioned mug mash. 

This all hurts. 

To lose 10 in 6 months means Dec 10th, which is past my goal of under 125 by my birthday. The birthday is 19 weeks away...That's 1-1.5lbs a week. 

I've been doing this math since I lived in my dorm in college. Earlier likely. But I remember doing these maths. 

Just doing Math won't solve this!

This all hurts.
