So after dinner, which was a Stouffer's skillet meal that's only about 350 calories each that I also added some extra broccoli to and a slice of italian bread, I got on the elliptical as planned Monday night. Apparently that made HDT feel guilty so he got on the treadmill next to me. But shortly after that he went to put on tennis shoes so he could actually jog whenever he wanted to.
I had just finished doing an interval "burst" for the second time when he came back downstairs in his tennies and asked me how I'd like to the show on the road. I agreed but first wanted to see where I was on the calorie count, I had just hit 101 so I was happy about that.
So I put on my jacket and we harnessed up Poydras who was very excited to be going out and we headed on down the road. The route we take around our neighborhood is just under a mile. We did 4 intervals that probably totaled about 1/4 of the way, maybe even a 1/3.
It's definitely different out on the real road than it is on the treadmill that's for sure. I have bad joints and I definitely feel it after any exercise I do. My ankles tend to twist pretty easily even in flat shoes while just walking normal. So when jogging on the treadmill I'm pretty cautious. When we were out on the street I was even more so. I was worried that at any moment I was gonna step on a rock or step just right on the broken pavement and twist an ankle. Especially since it was after 8pm and got pretty dim in between the street lights. But no twisting was done so I'm happy about that.
Tuesday I felt pretty darn good, the only things that were sore were my shoulders, neck and back. They were more stiff than sore really. And today I feel just fine. HDT on the other hand was sore in the legs, especially his calves. But I think because I had done the bursting the weekend before then did some more on Saturday I already loosened them up quite a bit.
This morning just before he got out of bed he was petting and talking to Poydras and he mentioned going back out for another jog this evening to him. So we shall see, I'm game, that's for sure. Especially since last night neither of us did anything and I've been eating like crazy this morning.
Not sure why either. Exercising usually makes me not want to eat as much so I don't think it's that. My period isn't supposed to start until the end of next week so it wouldn't be my usual cravings. Just don't know. Every morning I have a yogurt for breakfast. Around 10 or so I start feel hungry again so I have a banana. I did that today except I started feeling hungry as early as 9:15, I held off until 9:45 though. But shortly after 10 I start to feel hungry again so I eat about 7 saltines or so. But that didn't satisfy either and I ended up eating around 20 or so jelly beans. So right after I polished off those I put a piece of gum in my big ass craw to stop it from consuming more junk. I've been chomping away like crazy ever since and it's helped.
UGH!
