24 and Clumsy

Quarter-of-a-century crisis

2 miles. 90 push-ups. Caught up on the push-up challenge but still behind on my running schedule. Today was supposed to be rest day but all days last week were rest days lol.

🌮 Bell - Keto Style

Successfully ran 1.2 yesterday, sat in the sauna for 20 mins and completed my pushups challenge.

However, I skipped dinner due to timing of my meals and felt the need to get Taco Bell at 10 PM drive through keto Style. LOL

I almost cheated and went to jack in the box to get cheese sticks and curly fries. Lucky for me, there were no cheese sticks so I went for the keto Taco Bell that took 3 tries for them to get my order right. 😐 I hope they didn’t spit in my food because I inhaled it.

Rest day but had to do finish up the 30 push-ups a day challenge and channel my inner Batman🦇🙎🏻‍♂️ (I can only do five at a time 😅😅 so here’s the last rep of 5) My push-ups are actually not as bad as I’d thought they’d be! #win #imaderp

A reminder to myself that I need to be stronger for the both of us.

Cookies in the Kitchen

Every Friday, our work orders in food for the office. A couple of Fridays ago, my boyfriend and I were cleaning up the kitchen after one of these Food days and saw a plate of cookies untouched. During the cleanup, we took turns eating these cookies in between tasks.

An untouched plate of cookies turned into maybe 6 or 7 cookies left on the plate (In our defense, the cookies were tiiiiiny.) After we finished cleaning in the kitchen, we decided that we just couldn’t leave a plate with only a few cookies left in a clean kitchen; and so, we both popped a cookie in our mouth and wrapped up the rest to take back to our desk.

In a brisk pace (basically running), we left the kitchen so no one would notice that we ate all the cookies. We almost made it out guilt free but just as we were making this getaway, we heard the following heart-breaking words from another coworker: “Oh the cookies are all gone.” Being the good man he is, my boyfriend looked at me and proceeded to offer the cookies I had horded to our coworker. 

Now, to make matters worse- Initially, we thought these cookies were brought in from the restaurant we ordered from but we soon found out that my coworker that  had asked about the cookies had actually made them. This is where the guilt sets in and I begin to hate myself: I ate like (as in probably more than) 14 cookies in one session. 

Now, the point of telling this story is due to my current situation. My coworker brought in those same cookies this morning. There is a large tub of them sitting in the kitchen and I want them so bad but I’m just starting on my diet again and I’ve been so good. 

Oh diet gods, please give me the strength. 

TL;DR: I am a chocolate chip cookie monster and there is a tub of cookies in the kitchen. To (ch)eat, or not to (ch)eat?

**UPDATE** I had half of a mini cookie- not worth!!!!!!! Definitely built the cookie up in my head

Day 2: 2 Miles Went to 24 Hour and ran on the treadmill. Successfully ran 1.2 without stopping in 15 minutes. I️ had to stop because I️ couldn’t handle the ankle but I️ call it a success! 30 push-up challenge? CHECK! Also spent some good time in the sauna stretching 🔥

The First Run (The fail) - 11/13/17

[justaclumsychild-blog]

11/13/17 - Day 1

I️ ran my first mile (0.5 mile and walked the the rest) yesterday per the new training schedule.

It was quite a fail.  

It was supposed to be an easy 1 mile run (no sweat, no problem). It turned out to be fairly difficult. Alex and I tested out our new shoes. While it was like running on clouds, I had difficulty with running on the paved roads as well as a new terrain that is not a treadmill. 

After the first half, my ankle started hurting. *Note to self: Stretch and roll out ankles before running* While my right ankle is prone to pain, I am thinking about wearing an ankle brace during runs. 

Lastly, I found that I do enjoy running on a treadmill rather than a course because the treadmill is a flat course and also, the machine paces me so that I will definitely finish. I will need to learn how to better pace myself. ON the note of pacing myself, I downloaded a new app - MapMyRuns - which actually shows me my pace during the run. I will definitely be using this app more as my runs get longer. 

 TL;DR

New Shoes- tried running at Coto with Alex and failed due to ankle hurting and “hills”. I will be practicing pace on a treadmill but need to practice running on different courses.

Back on it- training schedule set.

Due to a busy schedule and laziness, I️ have been inactive and not following my training schedule.

Yesterday, I️ created a new training schedule that must be strictly followed as the “Race Day” falls on the last day of my 12 week schedule.

I’m back on it- training wise and diet wise.

I️ am currently also participating in two work challenges so let’s see how it goes: a) 30 push-ups everyday, b) nationwide steps challenge. The goal for that second challenge is to be the top performer. Let’s see where this takes me.
