Run # 2 of Week 1
I just finished up my second run of week 1. I have one more run this week, and I hope I can make it through to week 2. I decided to run outside today and between the cold and the wind, it was not fun. I was huffing and puffing anyways, and the wind on PEI blows so hard it feels like you are being suffocated. I took three rest days between runs this week. I am planning on doing my P90X on the days I'm not running. Tomorrow will be the P90X kickboxing workout, and I'm excited about it because its a really fun workout.
Overall, I feel pretty good about the past few days. My scale is starting to move and I've been sleeping better. However, I'm starving all the time. That is nothing new though, because every time I go on a "diet" (really just restricting my calories to a normal level), I'm hungry all the time. I learning to accept being hungry and waiting it out, but it sucks...a lot! I'm not doing anything special in terms of my nutrition plan except for being aware of what I'm eating (portion control-wise) and not eating refined sugars.
On the school side of my life, I have a 5 page paper and 8 final exams standing in my way of summer freedom. I still can't believe how fast first year has gone by. I feel like I just got my acceptance letter and started planning my move to Canada. I'm doing research at one of the vet schools in the states over the summer, and I can't wait to get started.
I don't know what your outside temps up there are like this time of year, but I've found that running outside when the temps dip below 40F give or take can really be unpleasant. My fix has been wearing a Buff or a scarf to cover my mouth and nose. Kinda warms the air up before it enters your lungs.
