Well, it's day 8 of my training. The scale shows a 2.5 weight loss since last Monday, so I am pleased. I didn't run or do any type of exercise over the weekend. Life kind of got in the way, but that's just an excuse. I didn't make it a priority. I'll do better this next weekend. Today I am to run 3 miles and some strengthening. I went to the gym at 5:30, with the intention of doing just that. I ran my 3 miles, but I did it in 30:09, which is the fastest I have ever done! I was SO exhausted, I came home without doing weights. I kept thinking I'll just take the kids to the gym later, put them in the day care and do my weights. But when I came home, I could hear Jesse coughing in his sleep. He's been trying to fight this cold for a few days, and his horrible cough sends the message that I can't put him in day care. So, perhaps I'll use some free weights that we have here and look up some stuff I can do either on the internet or my Fitness magazines I have.
Even though I didn't do anything over the weekend, I did really well with my eating. Yesterday was Fast Sunday, so I fasted until dinner, and ate one serving of dinner. I didn't pig out, like I normally would at the end of a fast, so I feel pretty good about that. Last night I made a rice pudding (seriously YUMMY, but really sweet, and lots of fat). I ate some, but only a few small bites. That was my only "cheat" over the weekend, which is pretty good for me =) I haven't really planned out my meals for today, except I'll have that green smoothie for breakfast. Maybe I'll make a double batch and have one for lunch too.
Tomorrow is my "long run" day. I plan on doing 4 miles, but I don't think I'll push for speed. Today was SO hard. I tried to sprint the last lap and ended up sprinting the last half lap. But I'll try to go faster than I normally would.
