Day 15

I posted something on Facebook on Wednesday that mentioned adding 3 minutes to my normal morning run as a start to building my cardio endurance. So that morning I ran a little over a mile in 15 minutes and felt pretty good about it.

Last night was the end of my first 2 day Isagenix Cleanse. It wasn’t as bad as I anticipated. The idea was the only intake I was to have was water and a pre-defined regimen of Isagenix products. I also slipped in a couple of apples and some celery, but don’t tell anyone.

I spent the latter half of the first day being kind of hungry and a little less than that amount of time yesterday. So it seemed to get a bit better. Overall, I survived.

This morning I got up and went through my normal Isa-routine and headed to the gym.

I set myself on the treadmill for my normal 12 minute mile just to get started. I could always adjust the speed as needed. As it turned out, I did adjust the speed, but it wasn’t until the very end. I spent the rest of the time on the treadmill adding more time instead of speed.

What was supposed to be 12 minutes and a single mile turned into 24 minutes and 2 miles. After the 10 minute mark, I started feeling really good and just wanted to keep running.

As the timer got within about 30 seconds of 24 minutes I started wondering if I was going to actually hit 2 miles so I bumped up the speed to 5.5mph and managed to time the 2 miles and 24 minutes exactly.

So, the day before I started the 2 day cleanse, I got on the scale so I would have an accurate representation of how much weight I would actually lose. I weighed in at 204. Maybe I should have had a shake the night before instead of an actual meal since I had gained 1.2 pounds.

This morning after my run (when I always weigh myself) I weighed in at 199.2 pounds. That’s almost 5 pounds on the 2 day cleanse.

Okay. Time to get to work, but I wanted to document this morning for me (and whoever else reads my blog).
