Well, it was a pretty good week. I got my 5 days of exercise in and took off the 2 days I worked. (I acutally did do 20 min. of floor on one of those days too.) I ran the last 3 days in a row and did floor toning too. Tomorrow I will hit the gym again for weights and probably biking and elliptical.
I am back to setting weight loss goals on a timeline so I don't just keep hanging out around this weight forever. I would like to be 137-138 by the end of this week, and 136 by the end of January. I can do this if I stay focused. My problem times are the weekends b/c we eat out or have events a couple times and I get too many calories in, so even though weight is down in the week it goes back up on the weekends. It's been a cycle of that for a long time for me, but eventually will burn enough that I go down a pound. I did eat out and enjoyed myself but stopped when I was full. We will see how the scale looks tomorrow morning.
Another revelation I had the other day was I held a new 5 lb. bag of sugar in my hand. This was fairly heavy. I thought, wow, even taking off 5 lbs would feel better on my back and everything else. Hold one if you have it and see what you think. I bet it would even help with speed in running, etc without having a little extra weight on there. I would like to hit 134 for my triathlon on Feb. 22. That one will be the smaller timed event for my first one.
Well, I hope you all have a happy, healthy week!
