My trainer weighed me today and I lost 2 lbs! Yey! Ok, so the challenge for today was to try to run 5k in the treadmill, I only got to 3k. I didn't feel bad considering that I never used to jog (or brisk walk) that long. Although, I ran in intervals between brisk walking at 5.5 and jogging at 6.5. I am still quite please with myself. It gave me the motivation to reach 5k in time for the Kenny Rogers run on the 24th of August (so I heard...).

My activities for today:

- Treadmill

Distance: 3k

Time: 30:21

Speed: 5.5-6.5

- Circuit training with my personal trainer

Time: 40 minutes

- Walking (the walk home from the gym)

Time: 10 minutes

During my walk home, I ate my turkey sandwich (ok, I have to think of a new sandwich...) and a bottle of 12 oz. water. I rested for a while as soon as I got home, showered, and had a client at 1pm.

I had the yummiest lunch ever! I just whipped up some grilled fish for lunch because I didn't want to eat the chicken tocino that our helper served for lunch. So, I came up with this yummy filling meal! The tons of freshly ground pepper that I put made really added that smoked flavor taste!

Recipe for my Grilled Sole Fish Fillet

1 Sole Fillet Fish

1/2 slice lemon

1 Tbsp Kikkoman 43% Less Sodium

1 tsp Olive Oil

Fresh Ground Pepper (to your liking)

Marinate the fillet in lemon for about 5 minutes, then drizzle soy sauce and olive oil over fish. Coat with ground pepper on both sides and grill! Don't throw away the marinate so you can use this to grease the fish while it's cookin'! Remember, this is not deep fried so the fish may stick! so be patient!
