I only lost 1 lb this week.
That's tiny compared to last week.
But guess what? I ain't even mad at ya scale.
Let's review my past week and take notes on why I'm not mad.
Doughnut holes. Threw them in the trash this morning. Yes, I had a couple of them and they were delicious. But after that, I threw them in the trash so I wouldn't polish them off. Often times K&A think they are hungrier than they really are {don't we all} and guess who gets handed their leftovers? FH. But when he is not around, they come to me. I will no longer be their human garbage disposal.
The elliptical. Last night, I did 90 minutes on the elliptical. On level 12. If you follow me on Instagram (@MrsLoYoung) then you obviously already know this, because I like to brag about my workouts. But seriously, 90 minutes y'all. That's a long time. For some reason, I got it in my head that I wasn't quitting until I hit that goal and I stuck with it. This was a proud moment. I love how many calories I burn on that machine!
Counting calories. Today was my 15th day in a row to log into MFP. I absolutely LOVE that the app updates your status telling all your friends that. I can't wait until it tells everyone that I logged in like 200 days in a row.
Half marathon training. I just started this on Sunday. Unfortunately it starts out pretty slow so I'm just trying to run my miles as fast as possible. I know it will increase and will be kicking my butt before I know it. I'm excited to push myself and finally get where I can run far without feeling like I am dying.
Laundry. I know I am doing great because I have tons of laundry. Working out every single day creates tons of laundry. But that's laundry that I'm happy to do.
As you can see I am doing awesome....I'm not normally one to toot their own horn but TOOT TOOT Y'ALL!!! I am proud of how good I am being. I am proud that maybe I only lost 1 lb this week, but I FEEL AMAZING!!!!

ReplyDeleteGirl I didn't weigh in - because I am a wuss. I ate pasta, wine, and spumoni ice cream for LUNCH - yes lunch yesterday. Ugh... I know these starting out runs are "meh". I have a 1 miler today (I skipped yesterday) going for a FAST pace. Then tomorrow another 1 miler. We got this. I HAVE to get back on it. I gotta look all svelte for Mardi Gras and Memphis;)
