Happy things:
Well, I got into the 130s. Exciting as it is, it also makes me nervous. I've gotten this far before and it's where I fell apart and went the other way. Now, where as before, holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas didn't help AT ALL! This time, I don't have anything coming up, and again that gets me all fired up and excited about hitting goals I haven't made it to yet.
Today I woke up and was 139.4, I was 138.2 yesterday, but went out to eat. Although today I ate MORE THAN PERFECT!!!!!- I feel like I'm still "bigger", ever just "feel" like that? So, if I didn't drop any tomorrow I won't be surprised. It might just be yesterdays going out to eat STILL catching up to me, and then in that case, I deserve it. This week I've been eating really well and hitting the gym really consistently. I didn't log much into my Traineo account because I'll do like 5-6 exercises and it only gives me room for 3, and I keep a home log anyway. But...I still log my weight because that's fun to watch drop whereever possible!
Fun things:
Today at the gym I did something EVEN more daring and neat than I'd expect myself to do. I told you guys that I like to run on an incline of 2.0 for the first song on my mp3, then after that I run normal to feel like I was gliding on air. WELL, the other day we're at the gym and Shane really wants to get out of there. I was doing my usual "incline walking" on random. He said I should run it. He was joking and I was like, "I couldn't do that!" and he said, "why not?" and with that for SOME reason I hit the 5.0 button and my speed went from 2.5 to jogging at 5.0 over an incline of anywhere from 5.0 to 15.0 (although on the 15.0 I hit the calorie goal I set up and THANKFULLY could get off!) BUT...this got me thinking. Everyday I run a mile. At least. It's like me showing myself I can always do it. It's been getting easier and more boring, but I do it anyway. Today I wondered how long I could last running on random at level 6- (that's inclines from 0.8 to 4.6) and I ran 1.20 miles doing that the WHOLE time. NOT just the first song, NOT just ONLY one mile, but til I hit my calorie goal of 150 I'd set up on that machine. Now, I know to non-treadmill people everything I just went on and on about sounded like this,
"blah, blah, incline, blah 2.0, blah, treadmill, blah random",
but to those of you who know what I'm talking about, hopefully you understand why I was so pround of myself. WEIRDEST of all? I thought it was fun. I liked watching the little meters fill up as I ran up the mini hills. I plan to do it again, and now that I'm getting lighter, anything that helps me burn MORE calories is a GOOD thing. :)
So, that was my day. Nothing else really. Shane grilled out today and offered me grilled burgers and baked beans about a hundred times. I kept saying no, although when he brought them in with the cheese all melted, I did have a quick temptation, but I didn't give in. I made up some chicken breast that I seasoned, and tossed it with green, red, yellow peppers, and broccoli. Like stir fry without the soy sauce OR rice. It was GOOD, and I made too much because I had to put half in the fridge. I ate 3 hours ago and I STILL feel full. That's always a good thing. lol.
Okay, that's it for me today.
Love ya'll!
