My weight has been up and down despite a huge improvement in running. I ran 6.5 miles on saturday on trails with DH. He is a machine when it comes to running. He could probably do a half today. It was a slow pace - 12.8. But it was continuous. All my runs are slow and contenuous. Im surprised these double Ds are not hindering me. We have 3 months left and I'm sure I'll be able to do the half with no problem as long as I stay my pace. I've even vowed to run a full one day.

I agreed to run a half marathon with my husband in the fall. I have been looking at running plans and time lines for a 10 days now and will start tomorrow. We just got off a trip today and I'm bloated and know I've gained a few pounds.

I plan to make running my main staple now and add Cathe's workouts as crosstrainers and weight work.

today's weight: 175.0
workout: MMA Boxing = 47 min - 644 calories burned

B. Grilled cheese
S. yogurt, 1/2 fiber bar
l. chicken taco stew, chips
s. T7
D. Salmon, broc
s. popcorn

This comes to about 1475 calories and hopefully will have me in bed and snoring by 9:15 tonight.

Weight is still 176.5. I've decided to start counting calories. I wish I could join or start a checking, but they always end up being social sites. I dont like that. I need motivation, not chit-chat. So, I'll just do it here.

here's the plan for today: No more than 1600 calories
B. Large Protein bar - 360
S. 1/2 fiber bar, yogurt, a few peanuts - 230
L. Salad, chicken breast, pinapples - 335
S. T7, 1/2 protein bar - 330
D. turkey, cheese...

weight is up to 176.5 cause I overate junk yesterday. I feel crappy right now. woke up feeling crappy and didnt workout which aides to my crappy feeling. I'm stressed. that's the problem. I've been praying and meditating and its affecting me in a bad way. Just knowing what the problem is helps me out so much.

I will read and meditate tonight, get some filing done at home and get to bed on time. This alone will help me feel better and get some bloat off of me.
