Day 3: These Boots Were Made for Walking

3 days in a row!!! Up at 5am and on the treadmill. I did a 2 minute warm up, a 30 minute brisk walk (details below) and then a 2 minute cool down.

I felt a little sore today. I have to make sure I stretch before I hit the treadmill. My runners are going to be the death of me. I can feel my ankles and feet are going to be an on going issue until I get some better runners.

Today's Workout Stats

I did pretty well yesterday for eating. I was very good all day. I was bad in that I didn't have any breakfast, but I did have a very healthy lunch of fresh sushi. Lots of fresh salmon, tuna, rice, veggies, etc...

Dinner time is always an issue. I am like a rabid dog. I enjoy cooking and do not snack while I cook, but portion control and the after dinner snacking are the death of me.

I find the best way to beat these bad habits is to drink water, have my wife portion out dinner and have her put away the food afterwards. I am like a crack addict with food after dinner. It is as if I can't get enough or that this was my last meal. I really need to overcome these issues to keep myself on track. I can't always rely on other people to manage my portions or put away food so I don't consume everything.

In my next few posts I think I am going to start to start recording what I eat. I have heard that once you see what actually gets thrown down your gullet it can be quite a shock.

As a treat, my wife and myself are going to go see the Borat movie. I find that guy hilarious. I will let you know what I think of the movie tomorrow.

As always I will keep you posted.
