Seriously, I do mean to update this..

It's Thursday already which shouldn't have happened. There should've been an entry on Tuesday but it's been a pretty crazy week.

First order of business - I think I'm finally becoming a Runner (that's right, with a capital R). I bought running shoes on Sunday and was pumped to try them out at the gym that day. I actual look forward to my Couch to 5K workouts and they get progressively easier - yay!! Doesn't mean that I'm not huffing and puffing at the end because my face STILL resembles a tomato but I'm doing it and doing well with it! Yay! A slightly amusing addition is that for the first week of running, I was adding an extra 10 minutes onto the workout because I didn't bother to check the times, I just knew how much I had to run and walk (1 minute jog, 1.5 minute walk for 20 minutes not 30 minutes). In fact, this week it's still 20 minutes but I normally do about 24 or 25. I like exceeding things.

Second order of business, M&D were out of town which means I probably should have ate crappily and in fact, I really didn't. I had good food with the majority of it being what they made me. I didn't feel like I had to eat the minute I got home at 7:00 so I did alot more night workouts and had dinner later. Having dinner later generally means I didn't snack during the night because normally my body goes like "it's 10?! I'm hungry now!" So, it was a success!

As for last Tuesday's tasks, I did my Couch to 5K workouts that I wanted to. I didn't have fried chicken even though I was CRAVING a wendy's sandwhich on Sunday. I didn't end up drinking enough water every day so that's staying around for this week.

Tuesday's Tasks
1) We'll aim for 1.5 liters of water (three water bottles!) When the watercooler at the city is full, I always do it but if not we'll just have to squeeze it in another time.
2) Go for a run/walk/workout this weekend. I'll be up in Cooperstown, NY with the students I went on Mapendo with. I don't want to detract any time from them but I want to be able to squeeze in 30 minutes on Friday, Saturday or Sunday morning. I'm packing my shoes & I don't want it to be for nothing.
3) Find less fat deserts/sweets. I'm usually pretty good with salty things but I have actually started to get better with sweets. If I'm going to have a Frapacino, I ask for the light base. If I'm getting ice cream, I'm gonna go for reduced fat/non fat. Let's see how this pans out.

Now the stats:
SW: 235.6
Current: 233.0
Pounds lost: 2.6
