On Saturday I decided that some adjustments needed to be made. I have been having a serious love affair with carbs. I'm talking about leaving the husband and running away together affair. Well that just isn't going to cut it if I plan on meeting my July goal.
So I promised myself some tough love for the first 25 days of April (I'm on vacation the last 5 days of the month...no promises there.) This tough love will require me to run (yes I said run) 18 out of 25 days. Crazy right. This running is in addition to whatever other workout I have planned for the day. I'm up for the challenge. I have to put all this sexy in a bathing suit while on vacation...I will run like my name is Forrest Gump. Oh yeah...I won't weigh myself again until April 25th. I weighed in on Sunday. I'm not a scale whore so this won't kill me. I usually weigh in on Sunday & Wednesday.
Not only will I run, but I'm going to up my daily protein intake...and I'm phasing out the carbs. I have a fill scheduled for May 1st. I'm looking forward to getting a little more restriction.
So today was a good day overall. Plenty of protein. My breakfast was a sausage...yummy. However, I did go out to celebrate the 50th birthday of a great friend. There was one drink involved and some cake. Yup...I ate it...I'm not ashamed, because it was the only "junk" food I had all day.
Tonight's 3K was 30 minutes and 30 seconds. My goal is to improve that this week...and move forward next week.

Run Forrest Run (sorry, I couldn't resist)...it sounds like you have a good plan. I'm right there with you with the carb thing...if I'm gonna over indulge, it is always on carbs!!

So proud of you for sticking with the dreaded running! See, it sorta, kinda, but not really, gets a itty bitty better, huh? Like miniscule tho.
So proud of this resolve!! And how hysterical are you, leaving Charles for carbs. Pshshsh... : )

Great plan!! I am the same exact way with carbs.
Freaking carbs. They should just stop making them. I mean would you eat crackers if you had to make them from scratch?
hot damn a 30 min 5K! awesome!
I love the motivation I'm seeing in this post! You can do it!
30 min 5K is Awesome!! Do you use dailymile.com to tracking your pace and miles?
I totally understand the carb addiction! Best of luck hitting your goal!
Goodness..I rode that train and jumped off :) I am back on the carb wagon. Cutting those babies out made me crazy.
I hope the no/low carb thing is good for you!! an even more works.
