First day of week two for the Zombie 5K and it was a good workout. How do I know? It felt short and didn't drag. I'm definitely noticing good results from the work.

JT 03: Doing well.
A run day and it felt like I did the run much better than the one two days ago, despite them being identical.
Day 02 of the Foundation workout was good as well. For shits I decided to try level 02 and did pretty well. I only did 3 sets though (instead of 5) as I didn't want to be useless for my daughter's birthday party. I do think I could have finished 5 sets, I just would have been a noodle.
Drinking lots of water and I think I need to figure out what the hell is up with Sparkpeople. They seem to think I need to eat 3200 calories in a day. I think the only way I could do that is to eat Big Macs each meal. I'm also frustrated with how poorly Fitbit tracks a run on an elliptical trainer. I've tried wearing it on my wrist, in my pocket at my hip, and tonight in my sock, yet still it loses about a mile compared to the machine's readout. Did some stretching post run as well.
Tomorrow isn't a run day but I will be walking and doing the Foundation workout. I will also me adding in more stretching, cause I need it.
I'm also liking these 30 day challenges I'm committing to. I am actually doing things. I think next month I will continue with the drawing and workout, and add on a writing challenge as well.

Day 02 of Jedi training
No run today and pretty light on the PT. Still my legs and gluts are tender but it's the good kind of tender. Food is a wash as I went to a tea house for a friends birthday and had lots of tiny sandwiches and likely a scone or so. I'll pick things back up tomorrow. Tomorrow is also a running day.
Today I also got inspired for Halloween and Milliways. I think I am going to have a Luidaeg themed plot wherein she makes things spooky for those that want to play. Nothing deadly, Goosebumps level of creepy, but still fun. I think it's be low key enough that if anyone else wants to run a plot it won't interfere.

Day 01 of Jedi training.....
Yes, I am a complete dork for calling the workout/diet lifestyle change Jedi training. I had thought of going with Project Rebirth but I'm looking for more jedi than Captain America as far as my fitness level goes.
Food is going well, though I am noticing it's harder to get your calories when you avoid quick carbs; i.e. mass market foods, breads, and such. A fried egg on a kale salad is yummie!
Work out was good. I did the first workout for the Zombies, Run C25K program and then did one set of this Jedi workout. I stopped after one as my legs kept feeling like they might cramp. I think I'll switch body weight workouts to non running days in the future. ETA: Actually, I think I will shift to this foundation work out to get going.
I still need to work out my goals, short term to long term, but for now I am getting started and I am feeling good about it.
