Day Five Hundred and Forty - Weigh in #77 - Back in a Groove


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.
