Days 20, 21, and 22

Hello!  I'm still here!  I'm still moving!

Snowmegedden has really put a wrench in my blogging.  With all these snow days, even though I ran/worked out, I spent all the rest of the time just enjoying being snowed in with 2 of my favorite people.




So, I am still stuck on the Dreadmill.  I really don't like it but I am grateful that it is an option for me.  My coach is now sending my training plan in minutes instead of miles until I get back up to where I was so on Monday I did 45 minutes which translated to 3.6 miles.  I am so proud of the fact that I've been running the whole time.

Monday, 1/27/14

On Tuesday, I did 30 minutes (2.4 miles).  I don't know why I am scared to up the mph from 4.8 to 5.0.  Maybe I'm afraid I'll have to slow it down again or walk?  I don't know but I think on my next 30-45 minute run I'll try to do it all at 5 mph.

On Wednesday I worked and I was supposed to do yoga.  I had asked my coach whether I could still run on yoga days and she said it was ok so I did 20 minutes (1.66 miles) which was at 5 mph.  It always feels good to go faster.  Like I've accomplished some great feat.  It's a good thing the running made me feel good because I really suck at yoga haha.

Wednesday was also weigh in day. So here are my stats:

Starting weight:  196.6
Last week's weight:  187.8
Today's weight:  185.4
Total lost:  11.2 pounds!

With the loss of over 10 pounds, I adjusted my calorie goals so hopefully that won't set me back.  I plan to be extra vigilant this week.

Also since I was down over 10 pounds, I did a front and side shot.  Honestly, I don't see a difference in how I look even though 11 pounds is quite a bit.  I'm having trouble getting the pictures to upload so I will work on it and post them in the next blog post.

Now that all my blog housekeeping is done I need to do some real housekeeping.  Have a great day and don't forget to move!
