Day 27

Easy 2 mile walk, 20 min free weights.

Did the weights in the AM, and walked in the afternoon. Smart move to do the walk at 3.30 pm while it was still sunny outside.

Moving is getting easier and I feel good after doing the exercise, but later on there is some stiffness and tired feeling.
Today on coolrunning forums somebody had posted 'A Joggers Manifesto' interesting discussion regarding joggers and runners, apparently speeds of less than 6mph are categorised as jogging, and covering 13 miles in 2hours was being considered slow. I did the math, 13 miles in 2 hours is what--6-7mph. Wow! then what are we?-the shufflers?coming in at 4-4.5mph.
I dont mind-call me by any name, runner,jogger,walker,shuffler,crawler, as long as I am moving towards my goal, I am fine.
The issue right now with me is the eating. Man! I eat a lot. Esp now that its cold, it seems as if my body wants to keep fillingitself to feel warm. So I eat everything in sight.And so I have gained weight.Running is supposed to be good for weight loss but I was calculating, 2 miles on the treadmill and I burn only 180 cal. which I can negate by eating one teeny snack. I always felt that I just cannot control my eating habits,that I am addicted to eating, which I guess I am, but now i have to take things in hand.The over-eating and the over weight is affecting my running, no one else can control it for me, running alone wont help me lose weight , I will have to work on this aspect too.
Will start with one small change- no packaged goods from tomorrow- no cookies,crackers, chips-my downfall, first thing I eat as I step into the house after work , easy to tear the pack open and hog.Will monitor for 1 week and see. Replace with hot green tea. Anti-oxidants will be good for me.
