138.8

I am hoping I can lose 3 more pounds in the next month to get to 135 by Dec 15th!  My ultimate goal would be 125, but I am not sure if I will be able to get below 130. 

I ran 5 miles on Sunday...my hip is starting to bother me the more I run.  I only have 5 more run until my 10k training program is over though!  It has been getting cold so I am looking forward to it!

Trouble controlling my eating!

Ok, so running 3 days a week plus yoga 3-4 days a week is really increasing my appetite!  I am so hungry and not making good choices.  Yesterday I probably ate 10 pieces of Halloween candy.  Tonight I am going to La bodega with my friend Cassie and I plan on having 2 glasses of sangria, plus some tapas.  So, I will be over my calories again.  I think I need to start documenting my food on here again.

Breakfast-
2 pieces of wheat toast

Lunch-
Turkey sandwich on deli flat with yellow peppers strips that I dipped in light ranch.  I also had some pop chips and pirate's booty and a snack sized kit kat. 

So, I guess I haven't done too bad.
I am up to 143.  I am thinking I need to drink some green tea in the afternoon to help with the hunger.

Ran 4 miles yesterday!

I start week 4 (or is it 5) tomorrow.  I have not been doing so good with the eating but good with the working out.  I ran 3 times and did yoga twice. I would like to get in another day doing sprints and another day or two doing yoga or pilates.
My current goal is 135 by Dec 15.  That is 6 pounds in about 7 weeks. I better get on it!

Ran 3.5 miles yesterday

The running is coming along!  Saturday I ran 2 miles in the pouring rain. Sunday, I ran 3.5 miles - the end of Week 2 of my 10K training.  Tomorrow I am starting week 3. 
I went to yoga 3 times last week, and I was so sore from pilates!

I have not been weighing and I have been eating around 1500 calories a day.  I know I have not been losing, so I am going to go down to 1300 ish the next week or two and see what happens then.

141.8

So I gained 1 pound back after going off of my diet 2 weeks ago.  That is not as bad as I thought it would be!  I have only been running 3 days a week and not even watching what I am eating that closely.

Today I did run 2.5 miles.  This is week 1 of training for a 10k. I love having a heart rate monitor.  I find that if I can stay in the 160's my run is really enjoyable.  150's and I am getting tired and feel slow.  170's and running becomes hard and my stomach starts to cramp up.  It has been such a useful tool, because I can change my pace really easily to keep it in the 160's.  I am currently running a 11 min 30 second mile.  I was 13-14 min mile a few months ago, so that is progress!  I know I can get closer to 10 in the next few months.

I plan on eating about 1500 calories today.  I am also going to a vinyasa yoga class tonight.  I love that my yoga studio has daycare!  I am officially having them withdraw the membership fee out of my checking account, so I will be a member for good!  Excited about getting back into it after 6 week break.

The good, the bad

The good:
I ran twice this week, and plan to again tomorrow.  I am running 2 miles each run until Oct 1, and then I am going follow a 10k training schedule. I am going to run 3 days a week and then do a HIIT workout on my treadmill one morning a week.  I am also joining my yoga studio on Oct 1, so I am hoping to go to 4 yoga/pilates classes a week. 
The bad:
I am done with the alternate day diet.  I am done starving myself one day, and eating way too much the next.  Plus, I have not lost any weight in 2-3 weeks.  I did lose 7 pds on it, and I am afraid I am going to gain it back!
New diet plan is 1400 cal a day on the days I work out.  1200 on the days I don't.  I am going to try to not weigh for a month so I don't get discouraged.

Here is my food for today:
Breakfast- 1 bowl chex, 1 tortilla
Lunch- 1 piece of frozen pizza, 1 banana
Dinner- Stuffed shells with cooking light's alfredo sauce, peas and 1 piece of garlic bread.
Snack- 1 smore - we went on a hay ride.
1400 or so total.

I may post a pic soon!

Still at 140.8

And I am getting mad!  I really want to be done with this diet, but I want to be in the 130's before I stop.  I was hoping to get down to 136 or something so when I stop, it will be fine if I gain back a pound or two.

I went on a 2 mile run yesterday, it felt so great!  I can't wait to run again this weekend.
