So I missed writing last week. No bueno. However, this last week has been pretty awesome. I upped my running to 2 miles! Yes! And the best part is, I made it to the track 5 days in a row! And I ran the 2 miles each day. Needless to say, I was exhausted. But it was so worth it. I also started a "diet", if you will. Basically I cut down my calories to 1500 a day. According to the Wii I lost roughly 5 lbs. last week. It was REALLY hard. I felt like I was starving all the time. But really I didn't always feel hungry, it was the fact that I couldn't eat and so I wanted to. I think I actually shrunk my stomach a little bit. I felt fuller faster this weekend. I think I'm going to give the calorie cutting a go again this week. I'm not going to completely keep track and eat in a seriously crazy. measure everything way, but I'm going to keep a mental note and try to cut it all back again. I may have "felt" hungry, but I felt really good. I want to feel that again. And I really liked standing on the scale and seeing the pounds slowly disappear. It's really hard, but I've done it once and I know I can do it again. I have to remember lifestyle change. It's not going to happen over night, but if I keep trying I will make the change and I will both look and feel better both mentally and physically.
So, my goals for this week are the following:
Run 2 miles 5 days this week (improve time by Friday)
Eat closer to 1500 calories (don't overdo it and stop eating late - that's my weakness)
Work out my core with the Wii on Tuesday and Thursday (can't hurt to burn a few more calories)
Drink at least 45 ounces of water a day
I think that pretty much covers it. Oh, the last time I weighed I was between 137 and 138 pounds. I'm hoping to go down again soon. I'd like to hit 130 before March 18th. I'm excited to post next week!
