Snow Day = Catch Up Day

Once again I have been slacking on my blog posting...I promise to do better. I got the day off of work today because of snow and so I figured that this is the perfect opportunity to play a little catch up. The good news is that while blogging hasn't been a priority sticking to my WW plan has. The amount of exercise that I have been getting could improve but dieting...I mean a life style change has been going well.

My last post was almost two weeks ago and I had gone for a 10 mile training run out at Hagg lake...that following week I did a short run or two but nothing to write home about. I have been letting myself use some of my cheat points and have been making sure that I am satisfying crazing that I have. I weighed myself on that morning and I wasn't really expecting much....I was pleasantly surprised to see that I had lost another 1.6 pounds. That put my grand weight loss total at 7.8 pounds. To me that seemed so close and yet so very far from 10 pounds. 10 pounds to me that is a huge number and I wanted it so bad. My good weigh in inspired me to go for a 7 mile training run. the run felt great and I felt like I was running a little faster than my 7 miler two weeks before.

The week before the Hagg Lake run (Feb 20th) I was super busy. I didn't feel like I had time to run and part of me just wanted to rest my legs for the 25k (15.3 miles) that I would be attempting to run in the mud. My diet was pretty much the same as it has been since joining WW. I wanted to hit the 10 pound mark so badly but I knew that I wasn't working hard enough to achieve it. The morning of Hagg I woke up and got on the scale with pretty low expectations...I looked down and did a double take...the scale showed that I had lost 2.4 pounds that week bringing my total loss to 10.2 pounds. I couldn't believe it, lol, and so I weighed myself two more times and luckily the scale stayed the same. I was and still am ecstatic about it. I hoped that was a sign that Hagg was going to go well...
