Wow, where did a week go – yesterday I got to step on the scale again.
Week 1: July 14, 2013 – 199 pounds
Week 2: July 28, 2013 – 198.5 pounds
It’s a little depressing how little I lost, however I should celebrate every little decrease, especially when I think back on the week that was, with muffins, cookies and a piece of red velvet cake – traveling for work always knocks me off my healthy eating schedule.
On the other hand, I’m continuing to run often and my mileage is slowly increasing. One day last week I actually went on two runs. The first in the morning with one of my co-workers and easy 4 kms, then after work with a friend of a friend, we did a not-so-easy 5 K.
I’m still swimming at least twice a week.
I need to up the amount of time I spend lifting/strength training. Lifting makes me sound so strong and tough. The reality? I’m the girl struggling with lifting 10 pounds for a shoulder press, but it’s a start. I’ve also got to get my but in gear and get flexible. I think yoga is the way to go for that, but I’m intimidated. I have the least flexible legs – my downward dog looks more like a falling horse with my knees bend funny and heels lifted way off the ground.
Too bad I can’t bet as fit as those girls photos posted on tumblr, just by looking at them.
