Well I got a treadmill for my birthday.  Steve got me a really good one.  Has all kinds of bells and whistles.  I am liking it and finding it so much easier to run on.  So far I a have done 1.5 miles every day this week.  No knee pain, no shin splints etc.   I find it is so much easier on the entire body to run on a treadmill vs the hard road.  Not as scenic but a lot easier.  I am going to increase to 2 miles next week and the add 10% every week until I am doing 5k without exertion.  Then I will alternate between the treadmill and running along the ocean for a change of scenery.

I went with a treadmill because it is too hard during the day to run, and with DH now in Oahu Monday to Friday, I am uneasy running at night by myself.  Hense the treadmill.  I can run in the safety of my own yard, and my pups are with me and it is safer.  Our exercise “room”  is a room that has only two side built out of bamboo and a conrete floor.  It is attached to our carport and surrounded by hibicus plants and palm trees.  I love it, always a cool mauka breeze and the sound of the wave breaking against the shore.  It is like running outside without the danger.

Diet wise I have not been too good.  I have been eating whatever I want.  I am trying to stay within 1000 calories a day for two weeks and then increase to 1200, but the weekends are killing me.  That is when DH is home and we always go out to eat and I am not fookin strong enough to just have salad,   I don’t want a fuckin salad….I want meat..!!!  And Saimin, and pizza….shit WTF

I cannot seem to get a handle on the eating thing again.  I was doing so well and then BOOM, the old appetite took over, even thou I know half the time when I eat I am not even hungry……FUCK

I was trying to eat granola bars at work, and avoid the chocolates and yummies that are alway there, then I read what is in granola bars and decide to make my own.  I just threw together some dried fruit, nuts and sunflowers with some rolled oats, added honey instead of corn syrup and 1/2 the amount of brown sugar, used real butter not margerine, and baked.  It turned out great.  Now I know it is high in calories, but a much healthier snack than chips, and chocolate etc.  So I keep some of it in the fridge now for my munchy days or when I just need a pep up.

Today I am going back on line to my other diet blog where I use as a food journel and I am going to keep track without skipping days or cheating.  Causing I am not cheating anyone but myself….

Well I have to work a double tonight, so best go and shower and get ready.  The 3fc website has been blocked on our company computers, so cannot write at work anymore, that sucks.

Just one more way for corporate to ruin things…
