Motivational Quote - "Anytime you suffer a setback or disappointment, put your head down and plow ahead." --Les Brown
Unfortunately, I wasn't able to escape the mall yesterday when my wife and I went Christmas shopping. Around 5 PM I was getting really hungry and I was trying hard not to make a bad decision given that the food court, Mrs. Fields cookies and My Favorite Muffin was right in my face and my nose
. My wife suggested a few places to eat and we wound up choosing Ruby Tuesdays. Long story short I gave into the Loaded Cheese fries and had an order of chicken fingers as my dinner. To be very honest I felt pretty good after eating all that, until I got home and plugged it into my food diary 
. As Les Brown stated above I needed to "put my head down and plow ahead", although I wouldn't describe eating cheese fries as "suffering" 
So that's what I did ... plow ahead ...
Health Status
In the words of Pat Croce, "I feel great!" I just got back from my first C25K walk/jog and I am feeling really good. I was going to start it on Monday, but I was planning to walk this morning anyway, so I thought I would give it a go.
Couch to 5k, Week 1 Day 1
5 min warm-up
Alternating 1 min. jog & 1.5 min. walk (I ran a little more towards the end)
5 min cool-down
42 min total, approx. 3.4 miles
Blood Work Results - These numbers are the best I've had so far. I can't remember the other numbers and I wasn't able to write them down. I am picking up a copy next week with all of the details.
