Boy I am out of shape. 42:25 for 3 miles. It can only get better :-)


I am going to eat better. This was my dinner

Played Monday game for the first time. I only slept 5 hours and I have work to do. Considering that I played really well. I need to play better. Stamina is the key. I think my ball control is fine and getting better.

My weight now is hovering between 152.5 to 153. I lost 8 pounds since I started heating healthy. I got about 10 to 12 pounds to loose. Should happen in a healthy way.

I think I am going to skip running. Now the target will be to reach the following schedule within a week:

non AWS week Soccer 3 days M W F and weights or ball control practice T and Th
AWS week Soccer M and W - weight T and Th morning

eventually I will incorporate soccer when I visit Buwi

Soccer

Good game. It rained and I was rested. Played medium. I need to score goals. That is not happening for a while. But I played the whole game. I wonder if it is the run or just rest and diet that gave me the extra energy. We will see how I play Wednesday. Currently the plan is: light run Monday, weights Tuesday

Food

I have to cut down on my food intake of course. Rice will be the biggest challenge. I did good yesterday and today. Yesterday even after soccer I only had 4 slices of bread, two fat free Bologna slices and some cucumber. Today so far cereal, and a dinner of 1/2 cup rice, boiled pea and beans and a bit cottage cheese and a glass of orange juice. If that really is dinner and if I can just have a snack or something at night, this will be very impressive. Not sure what the snack would be though. It would have great to have some fruits. We will see - its all mind over matter.

Start again and again (and again)

Today I ran one of my slowest! I have not been running since April and my last regular runs were in October last year!! At a 14:44 pace, it took me 44:08 minutes to walk and run the 3 mile course. The problem was a groin pain after 2 miles and overall lack of confidence. I did not run out of breath. Maybe I should stretch more. The pain went away, so I suppose I got spooked a bit. My weight is now 158 pounds (hovers between 158 to 160). Ideally by Fall IM time (August 30th) I want to get to 140 pounds. That is 20 pounds!! And I have about 40 days. Is it possible? Probably not. But let see how much I can actually loose. I do not want to go on a starvation diet, need energy for soccer and work. But apart from that I am willing to give it a try.

I think I used to be 143 pounds and then at some point 138 or so .... needs to be verified from old diaries.

Start again and again

Well I got distracted again. I am back yet again but I am also 160 pounds and ran a 14 minute mile this week. I also played soccer on Wednesday. Where I got terribly tired but played relatively OK. I am watching my food intake. I ate out twice. But apart from that the diet has been good. I am still in the range of 158/159. I guess I will have to wait a few more weeks. Not going to run today. I may try one run on the weekends but if that does not work out I am not going to sweat it. I would like to loose at least 10 pounds by Apan's wedding and then 10 more by Fall. That ought to do it. We shall see.
