Sunday mornings are weigh in day . . .

I gained half a pound.


Not surprising when I think about all the cheating I did yesterday. I also did not work out as much as I should have, but it wasn't really my fault. I had every intention of running Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday, but my trainer had me do too much quad strengthening on Wednesday. I could barely walk or sit down for 3 days, much less run. I've been frustrated and grumpy all week long because I'm feeling very out of balance without getting in my running. I suppose I can look at that like a good thing though. I want to run and I feel physically and mentally unbalanced when I can't/don't. I feel so much better in every way when I run regularly.


I'm mad at myself. I set out this week to stick to staying under in my calories and work out 4 times, and I didn't do it. I only have myself to blame. Today is a new day, new week.


My goals for the week:
  • Stay under 1,500 calories a day.
  • No taking tiny bites here and there. Those add up.
  • Find a new recipe to try for dinner.
  • Run on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday mornings.
  • Strength training on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. 
  • Get to bed at 11 every day.
  • No cheat meal this week. I want to see what staying on track 100% of the time will do for me.
I'm taking this one week at a time, focusing on Sunday through Saturday. Every day is a challenge, but I'm ready for it.
