I am so happy to be back to my normal running and exercising again. It really boosts my mood and my confidence when I have the satisfaction of knowing that I have put in a good workout. I am excited for how the rain has held off a lot of mornings and evenings so that I could get my run in. I know the recumbent bike is a good workout, but it just isn't the same as being outside, running on the pavement. It is supposed to keep storming for a while, so we will have to hope for a few days that I will be able to get my run in. I'm beginning to feel like I'm back in a groove.
It was another weigh in this morning. I knew I had done well this week, but I was still a little worried after my calorie intake on Sunday and again on Tuesday. Thankfully, the discipline I worked with to fight the sugar cravings paid off the past few days and I did lose weight again this week. When I stepped onto the scale this morning I had dropped another 2.4 lbs. This brings my total weight loss back to 157.4 lbs., with a current weight of 208.8 lbs. I am slowly moving back down towards my lowest weight (204.2 lbs.), as well as my final goal of 200 lbs. I need to remain disciplined this week again. I would love to be down another two pounds next week. It's going to take a lot of self-control, as well as some tough workouts. I am sure I can do it. I have to keep focused, and remind myself that my enemy is sugar. I have to determine to work out daily. I'm getting so close. I am going to lose my butter half.
My calories today weren't bad, but I did have some sweets that I didn't need. I wasn't planning on running this morning, but when I woke up, the rain had stopped for a little while. It was really wet out, but it didn't rain the entire time I was outside. I was able to get a full five mile run in, and it felt great. I'm pretty beat tonight though, so I don't think this is a day for me to add in a bike ride tonight. Still, you never know. I may feel a little more like it here in a bit.
