Slow-carb Diet Day 3: Going the Distance

I really did go do that second workout (6.4 km in 20 minutes), and then around 4:00 I went out and did another 10-minute quickie, and now my best time for 3k is 8:28. I really didn't think I'd beat that 8:31 time so soon, but by breaking it down to 0.1 km intervals, I was able to keep a pretty consistent pace, then put on an extra little burst at the end.

Dinner was a repeat of lunch (between taking the older boys to martial arts at 6:30, getting home, showering Tom, getting dinner cooked for the boys, trying to get my own dinner cooked, etc., I still didn't manage to pull the salad together), and it was fine, but a little hard to watch the kids enjoying chili dogs and potato chips. Maybe that's what I'll have for lunch on Saturday. I loves me a good chili dawg!

Then after dinner I did a longer, slower (MUCH slower) session on the bastard of a cross-trainer (10.6 km in 40 minutes). All four sessions added up to 1300 cals burned. The meals were 2100, so I finished with 800 calories net.

I'm thinking I might take it easy on the cross-trainer tomorrow. Take Tom out of a nice walk around the neighborhood instead of getting tortured in the garage. I've done 163.5 km (101.6 miles) on that thing, and I'm feeling pretty tired and sore. Then again this morning I was telling myself to take a break from it today, and that sure as hell didn't happen, so I dunno what's going to happen with it tomorrow.

Oops, I nearly forgot. My Weight Watchers numbers for today were: 12 ProPoints for breakfast, and 19 ProPoints for both lunch and dinner, plus 5 ProPoints for coffees at various times throughout the day, for a total of 50 ProPoints consumed. 80 minutes on the cross-trainer earned 31 Activity ProPoints, so as it stands now, I've got my 49 weekly ProPoints, plus 89 Activity ProPoints. Unfortunately, they all disappear on Saturday morning, so I can't use them to cover my Eat-Whatever-I-Want Day. But that's okay. Either this slow-carb thing works or it doesn't. I don't need to try to game the Weight Watchers system.
