Naughty & Nice

Today was very... stressful? I think that's a good word to describe it.

I woke up and did...

1500
Time - 11 minutes
Speed - 2.8mph
Incline - 10%
Distance - 1/2 mile
Cals Burned - 110

After that, I had some lunch which was Light tuna fish and sugar free strawberry jello, a total of 80 calories. I wasn't that hungry!

Later, Charlie and I went to Petsmart to get some food for Chief. Then to my parents house to pick up their car, since my dad is fixing mine and I need a way to get to work tomorrow!:)

When we were back home, eating dinner (Lean Cuisine = 210 cals), and watching tv, Charlie suddenly says "Where's my ring?!?!" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We were freaking out!!! I couldn't remember the last time I saw him wearing it, and he couldn't remember taking it off or anything like that. So our search started!
We retraced his steps, looking ALL OVER the house. I texted Roch and asked her to look at their house since we were there for a little while. Charlie checked the car, the sink, etc. etc. He had also stopped at the grocery store on his way home, so he went back there and looked around. No luck.
I was in the living room when he knocks on the door pointing to his ring! YAY!!! And guess where he found it...

In the recycling bin outside!!!!!

His ring is a tad loose on him, so he claims that while he was breaking down a cardboard box outside it must've fell off into the recycling bin. AHHH!! How scary!:(

He felt really guilty, so I told him that because I was so in shock, I needed a little treat! Haha... hence the picture of the pie:) My FAVORITE dessert ever is the Hershey Sundae Pie from Burger King! So delicious!
We drove to BK and got one for each of us:) Amazingly, I looked up the calories for the pie and it was only 310! I just happened to have 800 calories left for the day!! Yes!!:) So I very much enjoyed that pie!

Of course I felt slightly guilty afterwards, so I worked out. First, I did the Jillian Michael's Target Your Trouble Zones DVD for 15 minutes (160 cals). It felt so much harder because I haven't done it in probably a week or so. Then, Charlie suggested I do this program called "Couch to 5k" (C25K)
Basically it's designed to make you go from a couch potato to doing a 5k in 9 weeks. Apparently it's online, but I downloaded the (free) app on my phone and it's pretty neat. You could do it running outdoors or on the treadmill. I did the treadmill.

I selected "Week 1, Day 1"
Press start, then it starts counting down...
5:00 minute brisk walk warm up.
90 seconds walking
60 seconds jogging
repeating the walking/jogging for 20 minutes...
5 minute walking cool down.
Total = 30 minutes
(195 cals burned)

Pretty simple, but it was kind of tough! I did like it though. I feel like I can definitely improve my running with it.
What the app actually does is notify you with a little "chime" when it's time to switch between walking and jogging. You can also play music while using the app! I'd suggest it! Especially cuz it's free, and you don't need anything to do it! Just some will power;)

Overall a decent day. I'm just sad I have to go back to work tomorrow:( But at least for only 1 day!:)

Thanks for reading!

P.S. - Drank 6 cups of water!;) And my total mileage for the day was 1.5 miles!

  1. Rick hardly ever wears his ring cause of work. Most of the time it's around his neck on a necklace. When he wears it I notice it but that's only on weekends (not every weekend). But I dropped my ring outside of the house one night and I can remember that sinking stomach feeling. Not cool! Glad he found it before the recycle went out! He should look into getting it re-sized.

  2. Yeah, he wants to get it resized but they said that in the summer your fingers kinda swell up so it might get tighter. I guess he's just waiting for that. And unfortunately the kind if material his ring is can't even be resized, it has to be a whole new one:(. For now he's not gonna wear it to work.
    I'm wearing mine on my right hand now cuz its too loose on my left from losing some weight I guess? I'm gonna get it resized soon:)
