Lesson Learned

Yesterday I embarked on day 2 of my workout schedule after a weekend of poor choices. I chose to go to a potluck(not bad) but then I chose to eat a bunch of filth just because it was there. I ate a couple of deviled eggs(made by yours truly!), some shake and bake chicken, cake, macaroni & cheese, and to wash it all down some jungle juice of unknown origin. I had just come from an amazing workout too! I got in the gym yesterday evening all geared up to put in an hour. I started out strong but when I got to my second run cycle I felt my legs burning. I tried to push through the pain but it was too much. I got 8.5 mins of running. 8.5! I added 3 minutes onto that. I felt like such a failure. I ended up staying on the treadmill for 75 minutes. The pain stopped but not the regret. I really wish I had just pushed a little harder. I burned 460 calories and made 4 miles. Pretty decent for day 2. I guess what you eat does have some kind of impact on your workout. I need to remember to keep it light, especially before working out. I just love food so much, I need to make better choices with the foods I put in my body. I'm still a work in progress.
