As posted earlier (aka on time), I did Day 2, Week 1 of the First Day to 5K program.
We left for NE Ohio at 4 a.m. on Saturday, July 26, and I had a hard time keeping track of points and food for our three travel days. Here’s a rundown, though. I tried not to go too crazy, but eh. It happens.
Saturday: yogurt, Egg McMuffin (my body was all out of whack from being up too early and crap), veggie burger with no bun, mayo to dip it in, 1/4 medium cantaloupe, thin slice of cherry pie, WW chocolate chip cookie, 2 Fresco menu chicken soft tacos from Taco Bell, barbecue chips, English muffin, random grabs from DH’s appetizer sampler at Denny’s
Sunday: Started the day with Day 2, Week 1 of 1D5K, then had yogurt, two full-fat hot dogs, 2 slices pepperoni pizza, 3 chicken nuggets, 1 provolone wedge, 2 onion rings
Monday: Homemade peach/strawberry/Kashi smoothie, Mr. Hero Romanburger and wafer fries, Wendy’s Oriental chicken salad and a Junior Frosty

I also did Day 2, Week 2 of 1D5K – again, 4 activity points for *somewhere*.
They’re coming. I promise. Things are pretty busy right now, and I just haven’t had the chance to sit down and log everything on the computer.
Quick highlights: I have some detailed and some vague food journals (being out of town makes the detailed ones hard); I started week 2 of the 5K program (which also means I finished week 1); ummmm, I start my new job next week … I think that’s about it. Well, I’m sure there’s more, but I’m kind of brain dead right now, so you’ll just have to wait and see. Oooh, cliffhanger.

I also got in a 20-minute walk with Lucky before work, PLUS I did the 30 Day Shred DVD last night.
(Sorry for the delay. I thought I posted it this morning, but I guess not. Oops!)
Distance: 2.51 miles
Time: 0:29:58
Average pace: 0:11.54 min./mi
Calories burned: 291
Today didn’t go so hot. My numbers are all better, but I was TIRED and felt like a lump of poo this morning. Not only did I bust my butt doing the 30 Day Shred video last night, but I ended up staying up too late, too.
Plus, my numbers are probably a little out of whack. With only eight minutes left of the workout, I accidentally pushed the forward button, skipping the podcast back to the beginning. I figured by the time that I had one run left, so I counted my 90 seconds of walking as the time I was scrambling to fix my mistake. Except I didn’t really count, and I think I ended up running too soon, plus I thought I had restarted the podcast at the beginning of one of the run intervals, but it seemed way too short.
Needless to say, those shenanigans completely threw me off whatever mojo I had accumulated. The end just pretty much sucked.
Oh, well. I did it. Day two is done. I’m looking forward to recalibrating the system this weekend and knowing for sure that I enter and complete the correct distance. I wonder how much things will change.

Of course, I also did Day 1, Week 1 of the First Day to 5K program, but I’m not sure what to do about those activity points since I still have plenty of weekly flex points to use. It seems silly to keep the flex points banked to overdo it some other day, but at the same time, does it really matter how I count those points as long as they’re counted?
