Day 5: The True Test of Will Power

Today was and still is a true test of my early determination. You see I have the day off. The first day off since I started this little journey. I could have slept in or made some excuse why not to use the treadmill. I have been really good so far. i have been getting up every morning at hoofing it away.

So, you ask "What did he do?" Did I wrangle sheer determination at hit the treadmill or did I did I hop the train to Lazytown?

Amazingly enough I did my usual workout. Not only that I actually bumped up the incline a little to make it a bit more challenging.

Today's Workout Stats:

Time: 34 Minutes (2 warm up - 30 brisk walk - 2 cool down)
Speed: 3.0 Miles per hour
Incline: 6.5% to 7% (15 minutes each)

I am not going to keep posting how many calories I think I burned. I don't think I am very accurate. It really doesn't even matter to me. I am exercising to feel better.

Today's Meals

Breakfast:
Nothing, hey I got up late and was busy back off

Lunch:
Sushi (12 pcs) it was all rice and fresh raw fish and other nasty things (yum)
1 cup Miso Soup
2 cups coffee w/ Half & Half (I had these later in the afternoon)

Dinner:
5 oz Baked Salmon marinated in a herb & butter sauce (light)
3 pickles
1 cup homemade coleslaw

All in all not a bad day for eating considering it was a day off and the boredom can sometime result in me eating like crazy.

Tomorrow is another day off and another chance to test my will power to workout on the treadmill. Wish me well and think positive thoughts!

As always I will keep you posted
