So today I ran on the treadmill and did 8 miles in just under 59 min, that's running at level 8.0 on the treadmill on average.
That's approx. a 7:30 min mile pace for an hour and i wasn't running all that hard, as in i could have done it faster! I was pretty relaxed until the last mile, i decided to pick it up for the last mile and then i went a bit faster for the last 1/2 mile and 1/4 mile. I also trained legs the day before. I am so impressed because in December I was running at a level 9 for 30 min and felt like shit, level 9 is slow, super slow, and I felt so pathetic. So really I have improved so much in such a short time. I really didn't expect this, well i kindof knew i could do it, but until it happens I always have some doubts. I am going to try to keep my running under control and not over train and go to crazy, but I have this tendency to push myself to extreme limits with everything I do. So my goal is to keep this under control.
I weighed 143.6 lbs this morning, its totally the albuterol I have been taken. I was at 145 to 146 at the beginning of the week and now i am down to 143 in just a couple days, this is just as i expected. Awesome Me2 albuterol, i highly recommend this! Remember in order for these fat burners to work this way you have to eat very clean and restrictive. I have extreme self discipline and self control, my husband doesn't know how i do it and he says this is very hard, its so normal for me. I never over eat and I do not eat sugar and I only eat enough carbs to feel good, be healthy and perform well at the gym. I am so in tuned with my body that I know what it wants as far as food goes and I give it that, i do not have this issue everyone has with junk food cravings. I used to a long time ago, but I don't anymore. When my body needs a cheat meal it tells me and at that time I give it one and then its happy and I am happy. I also eat lots and lots of fresh and cooked veggies a 50/50 split. Vegetables are the medicines from the earth and people do not eat enough of them. I truly believe that vegetables are the greatest foods you can eat. So many nutrients and they are so good for so many processes in the body. I eat for my body and not for pleasure and its the best feeling to feel good all the time. I do not drink alcohol, its very bad for the body and hard on your organs, just because the gov't and the majority of ppl think its okay to do doesn't mean it is! Its okay sometimes, just like everything, have fun in moderation, but should be limited and only used sparingly. The only thing i drink is coffee, water, and carbonated water. I only drink alcohol once a month max and that's like 1/2 a glass to one glass of wine and that's all.
Anyways, I am so happy right now even though I am not competing or setting PR's or doing anything too crazy, I feel good, I look good, I am in amazing shape. I can work a labour intensive job for 8 to 11 hours a day and then I can lift wieghts and run and do it all again the next day, its just amazing to have this much energy and feel so good and to be able to do so much with my body.
I took my blood pressure last night it was 95/57 and my heart rate was 55.
I am going to start running with my heart rate monitor and i will let you know my heart rate when running. I used to do a lot of heart rate training in the past and my heart rate is always pretty low, i think its just my genetics. I can run at a good training pace at a 150 to 160 bpm heart rate and an interval pace at 170 to 180 and that's running hard and the highest i ever got my heart rate to running as hard as i could was 192bpm and most fast runnersl can get into the 220 just to give you a reference.
A few things about me too, I do not own a couch and i do not watch TV, I am kindof anti TV, i think its not good for the brain as it requires no brain activity to watch the TV, reading is much healthier for the brain, its kind of like exercise for the brain. I constantly like to learn new things. I haven't watched TV since I was in grade nine when I started training. What did I do, I studied and did my school work and exercised 2-3 times a day all through high school. I fast tracked through high school, did 5 years in 4. In university it was the same i trained twice a day and studied all the other time, I always give 100% at everything I do and this way I am never disappointed in myself. I always have standards for myself and I have to be my best, i don't necessarily have to be better than anyone else other ppl's lives do not have any impact on me, but i have to be my best or I am a mental nut case and I am really hard on myself, if i don't do what i know i can do I get really depressed, so thats a big factor in my extreme self discipline. I spend my time wisely. I refuse to have a TV. My husband is the same he doesn't like TV, we have the odd time that we watch some youtube videos, and we watched some movies over Christmas break when we were on holidays, but we are more interested in building things and working on our house and doing hobbies and training, meal prep, and work takes a lot of time. As far as the couch goes, i hate couches, i never want one. My husband thinks we should get one, i am trying to postpone this as long as possible lol. i do not want one! Why? think about the position of your spine and neck when you sit on a couch? yes curved and your gut sticks out, thats a terrible position for the body to be in for a prolonged period of time. Plus couches are so comfortable that ppl will sit on the couch for a really long time infront of the TV watching their fav shows after work. Life and the world is passing you by as you sit there and do absolutely nothing, to me this is not real life and that is time that you will never get back. There is so much beauty and life going on in nature and life and time is very previous and should be very wisely because life goes by fast, ask anyone in their 60's how fast the last 10 years went by!
