Thursday's Weigh-In

Well, I'm regretting (a little) my goal of 4 pounds and running a lap for every 0.10 of a pound not lost... I gained 1 pound! So I have 50 laps to run!! (which is a little over 8 miles!!) But I'm going to run 3 miles tomorrow for the 5K and then divide the rest between Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday's workouts.  Ali (who also had a goal of 4 pounds) lost 3 pounds, so she will be running 10 laps.  And she felt bad for pressuring me into my 4 pound goal, so she's offered to run with me M, T, & W.

Obviously, a gain is NOT what I wanted to have happen, but I have some ideas of why this week didn't work out.  For starters, I didn't do a good job of planning my dinners this week.  The rest of the day everything was planned, but not dinners.  And I'm not sure my water drinking was up to par either.  I think I've only been getting around 6 glasses of water a day in instead of 8. I also tried experimenting with new breakfasts and snacks and I don't think I got it all right. PLUS I don't think I got enough protein in or fiber.  (I've had a lot of time to think about this.)

I'm not too discouraged, though and I plan to keep "fighting" and working my rear end off!! AND it's still 8 pounds in 4 weeks, which is 2 pounds a week! SO my goal this coming week is 2 pounds and if I don't get it, my "punishment" is 2 sets of 2 minute wall-sits. (I HATE those.)

Here's my parting quote that I got from the HCC newsletter:
