In addition to the lack of exercise, I have also drastically increased my intake of not so healthy foods. What can I say, comfort food rarely equals vegetables and water and I am an emotional eater. But, the pounds I have put back on are making my recently purchased and greatly appreciated size 4's a little more snug than I would like. I could barely afford to purchase new clothes in my new size, I definitely can't afford to buy new clothes in a larger size right now. I am also pretty sure that the 2% body fat I had lost, I have probably gained back thus taking me in the total opposite direction of my goal: to lose 8% body fat.
Last week I visited my brother and sister in law in Nebraska with my mom. The best part of the trip was a stop at the local farmer's market. The farm fresh veggies were HUGE and cheap. Not to mention the homemade gourmet cheeses and fresh baked breads. I bought 2 stalks of corn. :)
It inspired me to look for similar markets around my area. Unfortunately, there aren't any like the one in Omaha (music, wide variety, etc..), but I was told about one in Alvin. So, my friend and I went out this morning to check it out. It was great! I got tomatoes, lettuce, a pickle cucumber, okra, cilantro, red potatoes, mango, cantelope, red pears, salsa, and spicy boudain. Jenn and I also split two small fried pies for breakfast. The blackberry one was disappointing because blackberry pie is my favorite dessert. But the plum one was AMAZING! (Not on the diet, but DEFINITELY a great way to end my bad habits.)
When I got back from the market and running other errands, I decided to continue my healthy kick by going jogging. Its been forever and it was really hot outside so it was not my best showing, but I was very proud of myself for at least getting out there. Also, after jogging 4 laps I had to walk one. I ended the outing by jogging the last lap.:)
1st mile - 11:45 minutes
2nd mile - 24:14 minutes
3rd mile - 38:36 minutes
