Maybe I will really be a runner some day...

It's been awhile since I've updated... sorry!  So weeks one and two of 10k training are complete, and I feel good!  Truthfully, I am so pumped for Week 3 and ready to push myself a little bit harder.  I found a new jogging path this week and it has changed the atmosphere up a bit and made me really excited to get out and run ouside.  So, bring it on Week 3!!

Last week's weigh in:  - .6 lbs
Total lost: -51.8 lbs

This week's weigh in: -.2 lbs
Total lost:  -52 lbs

My weight loss on the scale seems to be slowing down, but I'm seeing a difference physically alot lately.  Unfortunately, my clothes shopping is seriously affected by this.  I'm spending too much money!  Plato's Closest will be my new best friend.

Recipes coming soon!

Another Friday... Another Weigh-In

I really struggle with Thursday nights.  I don't know if internally, somewhere, I feel the need to self-sabatoge, but I always have to literally have angel vs. devil arguements with myself (little men on my shoulders style) to not drink and eat like crazy on Thursday nights.  Even when I have an amazing week, I always end up ruining it, at least somewhat.

Well, last night, I finally won.  (Yes, I understand that "I" win either way, considering it's an internal arguement...)  I went out, and resisted drinking lots of my points away or eating food unnecessarily at 1am.  It was really tough.  You'd think I'd have more control over this by now, right?  Let's hope I can make this a weekly occurance.

Despite the fact that I was good last night, I only had a very small loss today.  I just have to keep reminding myself that something's better than nothing.

This week's weigh-in:  - .2 lbs
Total lost:  51.2 lbs


As far as exercise, I'm beginning a 10k training program this week!  I'm hoping to run a 10K at some point in April.  Here it is:
