Day Five Hundred and Thirty-Three - Weigh in #76 - Valentine's Day (A Day Late)





I did not even try to follow my calorie limit tonight.  I know, I know, but it was our Valentine's Day celebration (because we were at Bible Study last night) and Bekah made delicious dinner and treats.  I have started to give into the idea that I deserve to take it easy.  What I mean is that I have a relaxed mindset in regards to what I am eating.  But as I learned last month, I have to steadily follow my diet plan so that when injuries or bad weather happen, I won't bloat up from sugar and snacks.  I don't want to rest on my laurels, but rather to attack my enemy first.  My butter half is still fighting me.  I won a major battle last year, but then casually walked back after the victory.  I forgot that the war was still going on, and convinced myself that I deserved to take it easy.  I'm done with that.  I will change back into attack mode.  I'm still in the fight, and I am going to lose my butter half.

My weigh in today wasn't what it should have been.  I ate so much sugar and chicken wings this past week, that I am lucky to have had the positive result that I did.  When I stepped onto the scale this morning, I was down 1 lb.  This brings my total weight loss to 155 lbs., with a current weight on 211.2 lbs.  I am so glad to be heading down, but I know it should have been another two to three pounds down.  I wasted an opportunity this week, and I am ready to change.  The only problem is that it is supposed to rain for the next week and a half, so my runs will be limited.  I will have to make sure to spend time on the recumbent (maybe even some two-a-days) every day.  Still I am grateful to be down this week, and I am motivated to keep losing.

My eating today was really bad.  Like off the charts bad.  Thankfully it was an incredibly warm morning (65 in February?), and I ran a full 10K.  It is the first time I've run six plus miles in a while, and it was rough.  I'm so glad I did it though.  One for the calorie burn on a day like today, but also because I won't have a chance to run that far for a while.
