14 day Challenge

I wanted to start a 14 day challenge yesterday, but circumstances beyond my control prevented me, so I'm starting it today.

I will not eat any junk food (chips or chocolate) for 14 days.

Since completing my 15 day Cleanse, I find that I've been munching on junk way more than before and I need to put a stop to it. I'm not saying I'll never eat junk again, I just need to cut back, so eliminating it for 2 weeks will help me.

NCHM Challenge - Run # 55

It was bound to happen, and today it did. What you ask? A bad run, that is what.

Here are my numbers

		My results	Comments
Type of Run	LSD	10:1	OK
Distance	18 Km	7.86 Km	total: 312.12 km
Pace	7:19	7:12	OK
Average HR	137-148	147	OK
Max HR	180	160	OK
Calories Burned		987	total: 38603

There's many things I can blame it on: heat, tired, eating before run, lazy. But in reality I just couldn't push through it, so I only have myself to blame. Hopefully, the rest of my runs are good enough to make up for this one.

HHM Challenge - Run #36

Tried to go out an do a Tempo run today, but after celebrating my b-day on Saturday, doing Xmas supper Sunday, hitting a casino last night (in which I made some money), and plenty of bad eating decisions, I was feeling very tired today.

Here are my numbers (part 1)

As you can see I did 2 different runs, well 1 run and 1 walk. I made it past the halfway point in a very fast time and then was done, so I walked back to the start. Not a great run, but after the past few days, I can't expect too much. Hoping to get some much needed rest this evening and hit the hills hard tomorrow.

10 day Challenge - Update

Well I made it through my 10 day challenge without too much of a hassle. I had originally set the rule of no junk food or pop, but thought I had stated no chips, chocolate or pop. I did have a few gummy candies (3) and some Nacho chips with dip, last Friday night (during a home poker game), but overall, I did avoid all chips, chocolates and pop, so I'm happy with it.

On Sunday I broke down (after the challenge was over) and had a handful of chips during the football game, as well, a few more chips yesterday during my kids snack time. Still haven't had pop though and I will try to keep that going for a while longer.

10 day challenge

After feeling sluggish during my last run, I've decided to issue myself a 10 day challenge.

I will not eat any junk food or drink any pop for the next 10 days.

That is it. Let's see how I do.

Cheater

Sat down last night to watch some TV with the wife and low and behold a big bag of Doritos fell into my lap. Naturally I ate the whole thing! Not good, especially after the past few days I've managed to only eat something solid at dinner time, while drinking vegetable/fruit juices and cleansing juice the rest of the time. Hopefully I managed to lose some weight over the past few days to counter the high amount of fat and calories I just inhaled.
