Day 3
Diet yesterday: stayed on track. 1 bowl of cereal; 1 scrambled egg with hot sauce. The rest of half carton of yogurt (90 calories) for breakfast.
LUnch: steamed broccoli and about half of a large boneless chicken breast, Chicken parmesan style.
One container of gatorade.
Dinner: 1 1/2 small bean and rice tostadas; some grapes and cherries. Steamed cauliflower.
Drank a lot of water yesterday.
Ran yesterday: 6 miles in 52 odd minutes; mostly slow recovery pace (9 minute/mile plus) but with four VO2 max intervals of 1/2 mile at 3:21, 3:18, 3:24, 3:28. Temperature was mid or high 80s, which affected me for last two intervals. I wanted my last one to be the fastest but couldn’t quite hold the pace. Still, pace for intervals was 6:36-6:56 min/mile, not too bad considering heat. Slower than I’d like for vo2 max intervals. Estimated total time at or near Vo2 max (based upon estimated 2 minutes to get there for each interval): 5:31 minutes. Drank a swig of gatorade before hand and the rest of it right after.
Saw 1/4 inch improvement in waist from day before. But this a.m. my weight was higher — 172.4 — as was BF — 21.5%. Go figure! I ate pretty well yesterday, although I overdid it a bit at dinner. Could be all the water I drank at the end of the day after I went running. I will stay on diet and see.
