Afternoon in the hammock

It totally failed to sense like Friday nowadays. on the grounds that Jerry needed to paintings these days, I needed to reschedule my longer term again. i will do it on Sunday (18 miles!). these days I simply did Wednesday's run (pace intervals): 15 mins smooth, 5 repeats of (5 minutes difficult, 2 mins smooth), then 10 minutes smooth.

i used to be truely excited to look at the largest Loser even as i used to be strolling, due to the fact I ultimately made it to the marathon episode. i love watching the biggest Loser marathons! This entire season has been sincerely precise (i am watching season nine). I watched it while it first aired in January 2010, however considering my life has modified a lot since then, I see the whole display from a exceptional perspective now.

I set the treadmill at 6.0 mph for the low, and 7.0 for the high. I did not range it at all from that, and it made my tempo chart look best and neat ;)

on the show, Daris killed the marathon with a 4:02 time!! That did not suggest a whole lot to me once I watched this episode the primary time around, but now i'm in awe. Even his 5K time in the middle of the season become like 21 minutes!

i was absolutely interested in the weigh-in after the marathon, when Daris ended up gaining 2 kilos in the month that he turned into at home. He stated something like, "i used to be targeted on education for a marathon, no longer on losing weight. it is genuinely difficult to lose weight whilst training for a marathon." after which Jillian started telling him that become "bullshit", and he ought to have misplaced weight even as training.

This was so familiar to me! I received weight while training for my marathon, and i agree that I must have lost weight--IF I didn't growth my calories in any respect. however it changed into actually hard no longer to eat more than usual while i was jogging so much. And it is very clean to justify ingesting junk whilst you've simply run sixteen or 18 miles! So I wager I agree with Daris and that i consider Jillian. (meals for thought... actually)

After my run, I showered and had breakfast, then took the youngsters grocery shopping at Wal-Mart. Noah has gotten too clever--now he reads the packaging of junk meals he wishes to shop for, and unearths the advertising and marketing ploy that is used so dad and mom feel excellent about buying it for their kids. Like those frozen dinners:

Noah desired the ones, and he stated to me, "Mama, are we able to get those? it's an awesome source of protein..." Eli even stuck on to what Noah become doing, and while he saw the fruit snacks, he stated, "Mama, are we able to get these fruit snacks? they may be made with actual fruit!" I showed him the elements list and defined to him why fruit snacks aren't similar to fruit. I do not know why I hassle, after the current lesson in sugar. (with the aid of the manner, i am no longer absolutely self-righteous approximately food for my kids--they honestly devour their proportion of junk--i'm just seeking to educate them approximately why processed meals isn't wholesome).

This afternoon, it turned into really fine outside, so I decided to examine Divergent out on the hammock. My mother and father sold a hammock at a garage sale these days for $10, and that they stated that ever because they bought it, neither of them has used it. So I advised my dad that I want it. the day prior to this morning, before going to work, my dad dropped it off at my residence.

It was five:30 in the morning, so we have been nonetheless sleeping, however as he was unloading it, somehow he hit himself inside the head with a pole, and started bleeding like a caught pig. He said he knocked on our door, however I ought to had been in a deep sleep, due to the fact I didn't pay attention him. but later, after I went outdoor, there has been blood throughout our porch, our sidewalk, the hammock, and there has been a small towel on the floor that became completely saturated with blood.

My dad is too stubborn to go get stitches, so he just went to work besides, and washed all of the blood out of his hair. i've heard that a cut on the top will bleed profusely, and now I completely consider it.

anyway, I wiped clean off the hammock and decided to test it out these days. It turned into so first-rate!

 

these days changed into Day three of calorie counting, and that i logged my food on SparkPeople, similar to I said i would. it's been a long term on account that i have logged three days in a row! i have been retaining quite busy, so I suppose this is supporting.
