Day 10 Update

What a great day!

I continued with my C25K training today.  Last week my C25K training consisted of 8 sets of 60 seconds running then 90 seconds walking with bookends of 5 minute warm-up/cool-down periods.  This week the training is 6 sets of 90 seconds of running then 2 minutes of walking with the 5 minute bookends.  Today was the easiest day of training I've had so far.  I felt so good that instead of starting my 5 minute cool down walk I decided to run another set.  I pushed myself super hard to run the longest, fastest, and hardest of the day.  When I was done with my C25K training for the day I turned around and walked the 1.8 miles back to my car.  In total I walked/ran 3.6 miles!

In the morning I started marinating my pork loin that I was going to have for dinner.  As my marinade came together I noticed that it was going Asian style:  garlic, ginger, and soy sauce, and sriracha.  So I decided to make some stir fry.  My stir fry consisted of pork, celery, cabbage, carrots, red bell peppers, snow peas, and hokkien noodles.  I used my marinade as the sauce for the stir fry.  It was a very fresh dish and it tasted wonderful!

As I mentioned yesterday, I'm now using My Fitness Pal to help me to track my health goals.  They have a fantastic Calorie counter tool that has a huge database of foods.  They make it so simple that basically all you need to know is how much you ate of whatever food and it enters all the nutritional info into your diary.  You can also track exercise and weight on the website.  They even have an app (which I haven't used yet).  This is my personalized ticker that shows my current progress.  Pretty cool, eh?
