And another weekend comes to a close... hate that they're so short!
Saturday calories in: 1580
Calories burned: 878
Net: 705
Exercise: 45-min. spin class, 20 min. walking.
Sunday calories in: 1958
Calories burned: 407
Net: 1551
Exercise: 45-min. 5k walk event (well... it was a run event, but we walked.)
I took Friday off and didn't exercise at all. I had the day off from work, and just relaxed, watched a movie, shopped, and recharged. I did make some lentil soup that was to-die-for; I need to make more.
Saturday I got up and went to spin class; it was an intense session, but I loved it. Spin appears to be my 'thing'. It's amazing that I could barely endure a 30-minute session 5 months ago, and now can go all-out for 45. Sweating is great!
Today's event was held at Long Point State Park. The course, along the lake, was beautiful, the sun was shining, and we enjoyed it immensely. We pushed it and finished in 46 minutes, or roughly 3, 15-minute miles (4mph; a decently brisk pace). It's humbling to see the participants who, having finished (running) in under 30 minutes, come jogging casually back to check on the rest of us. But Daddy & I (Mike, my husband) at ages 54 & 49, were pleased with our finish; which we accomplished without dying. And they had coffee in the pavillion!
Meals Saturday: Bkfst, honey nut cheerios, almond milk, blueberries. Lunch, lentil soup, Special K crackers, sf/ff chocolate pudding with sf cool whip. Dinner, 1 pc. of homemade, deep dish pizza.
Meals Sunday: Bkfst, 1 pc. wheat toast w/ peanut butter & all-fruit raspberry jelly, Lunch, the other pc. of toast, a leftover pc. of pizza, tossed salad, and 1/2 cup sf ice cream. Dinner, pb& j sandwich with banana slices, Barbara's puffed cereal w/ almond milk and blueberries. It was a weird eating day.
Back to the napping thing; I slept 2 1/2 hours today! I'll be able to stay up and watch Meatloaf go ballistic on the Celebrity Apprentice tonight.
One more thing I didn't mention in the 'Week Four' post- I lost 4 inches from my waist in the past month. Boo-yah!
Goal for this week; I'd like to get my real bike out of storage and give it a spin; see if the classes have made me more able to ride up hills. I hope so.
That is if it doesn't SNOW all week... Yeah, it's April in New York!
