3 day military diet

My husband and I just completed Day 1 of this diet.
I found it on Pinterest.  Here is the link:

The worst part was having to eat 1/2 cup of tuna with just a bit of lemon juice, relish and mustard.  I like tuna but not without mayo, cottage cheese or greek yogurt to make it creamy.  I was also really hungry this afternoon with just the tuna and one piece of toast for lunch.

The ice cream was excellent, though!
I weighed in at 134.4 so I will let you know how it goes.  I was down to 132 earlier this week!

Merry Christmas!

I am down to 134.2. My goal is 120's by Feb 1 and 124 by March 1! Currently I am 4 pound below pre pregnancy weight. Lost 56 pounds since Lila was born!

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.
