Move/make: Week 13

Today's weight (a couple of days late): 175.0 pounds.

Workouts: 
Monday: Off
Tuesday: Ran 37 minutes
Wednesday: Biked 15 miles
Thursday: Swam 40 minutes
Friday: Played frisbee 30 minutes
Saturday: Walked all over Madison all day
Sunday: Short run/walk, frisbee

Thoughts on food:
So, so bad. A lot of Diet Coke, Clif bars, and crackers and cheese. Some fruit, but not a lot. The fridge is a disaster I've been avoiding. I also went out to eat way too much (Chinese food, twice; pizza buffet, which was pretty awful; fried fish, twice; Thai food; ice cream).

So, pretty bad.  

Overall reflections: 
A combination of needing to buckle down with training for some upcoming races this July, and not having any money, will help with not eating out as much. I have a lunch date planned with a friend from my newspaper days this Friday, but other than that, things should be OK.

I made good on my goal of varying my workouts. My roommate and I have been playing frisbee, which has been fun. Swimming laps wore me out -- in a good way -- and I want to go back to the pool soon. The only thing I need to stick with is weight-training, something I'm notoriously bad about keeping up with. The upcoming heat wave this week will give me plenty of opportunity to hit the gym, though.

I also saw a neurologist yesterday. He poked my foot and leg with tiny needles. It was terrible.

Overall, I'm feeling good about these workouts, despite the crappy diet I've had.

Goals:
By this Sunday, I want to:
  • Only go out to eat twice
  • Weight-train two separate times
  • Go for one long bike ride
  • Go for two 5K runs
  • Swim or play frisbee again
I also need to clean my fridge and apartment, and go grocery shopping.
