W6D2

33 minute run this morning. A little muggy, but at least the sun wasn't out yet.

I had a little bit of weird calf pain around the middle of the run. I was focusing on it for a while, but then something distracted me and I forgot about it. It went away when I stopped thinking about it. Fun!

169.0 this morning. No real change, but I sure wish that it would stick to 168s (and below).

Week 23 Weigh in

Good Week!

At 168.8, I'm down 1.4 lbs, 22.4 total loss. I feel like I've finally left August behind and am making progress again.

W6D1

I was up at Scott's house this morning and didn't manage to get out of bed until 9ish. (AHHH lovely 3 day weekends)

According to the local newspaper website, it was in the mid 80s when I started my run out on the greenspace behind the house (former golf course). It was HOT. Not horrible, but much worse than anything I've run in since getting back from my motorcycle trip. Got in my 30 minutes and was soooo happy to get back into A/C and take a cold shower.

This appears to be working

Down to 168.8 this morning, past my "1 lb this week" goal. I just need to keep it up through Tuesday.

I've been working hard on monitoring intake and drinking lots of liquids. We're going to a party tonight, so we'll see how it goes.

I will try to run Monday morning at Scott's house.

W5D3

38 minute run this morning with temps in the low 70s. According to mapmyrun, I covered 2.8 miles. I don't know how accurate that is, but I like knowing that I did close to 3 miles at an easy jog.

I've been very good about food since Monday, with the only blip being a reasonable portion of homemade blueberry pie, so I was a little surprised to see that the scale has barely moved since my last weigh in on Wednesday. At 169.4, I'm down 0.2 since Wednesday, 0.8 since Tuesday.

I need to work hard on holding together (despite the long weekend) to have at least a 1 lb loss on Tuesday.

W5D2

32 minute run this morning. I was a little cold during my warmup, but settled into it when I started jogging.

Historically I'm a wimp about cold weather. I have a hard time walking out into it, even knowing that I'll warm up. We'll see how this goes.

I'm back into the 160s this morning: 169.6

Week 22 Weigh in

Ok, yuck. I'm up to 170.2 today for my official weigh in. That's a gain of 0.8 lbs, total loss of 21 lbs. Don't even ask about the results for August.

I blame all that sodium (more than usual) in my meals yesterday. Arrgh.

Ok, back to it. New month, new resolve. I'm gonna lose 5 lbs this month, durnit!
