End of Week Ten

Guess who fails at life? I do! 178.8 lbs!

I thought it was water weight and I'm fairly sure it isn't anymore. I just ate like a freakin' fat kid and stopped running. Go me. Week eleven isn't going to help me, either. Busy all week long, from start to finish. Papers, homework, laundry, packing, and then the trip to UOP.

I'm going to do my best, though, this week. I want to get a run in today and maybe Wednesday morning, if I can.

To do:

• run at five today
• get my silly self back on schedule and using myplate regularly
• run Wednesday
• focus on other aerobic stuff
• and work on upper body

Edit:
Ran. Not very far, as my bra was too tight. And my lungs were acting up in general.

End of Week Nine

Ok, weightloss has totally stopped and I think I gained weight. I haven't stepped on the scale at a time where I hadn't already eaten before hand.

That's probably my problem. Bletch.

I have determined that the running, being on packed dirt, is probably bad for my shins. So, I am going to ride up to East and run on the springy track a couple times a week. I want to tomorrow but that probably won't happen. Or Tuesday. But Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday I will get out there. I also need to do some research on lower impact cardio. And I NEED to do basic strength training.

Week Nine - Wednesday Run

YAY I RAN!

A mile, I think? Out of two. Not bad. Lost some stamina (also, yay for wheezing - stupid rain making the mold spore...), but still! Shin splints kicked in at the very, very end, so hurray!

End of Week Eight

I don't even want to look at the scale right now. I don't think I gained any weight, but I'm damn sure I didn't loose any either (when I looked the other day, it was the same weight as the last entry's). This shin splints BS is really screwing me over. Imma run anyhow tomorrow. I think I'll be ok.

I got one - read it - one bike ride in this week. Also, fat kiddery. It needs to stop.

End of Week Seven

Weigh in: 173.7

.2 of a pound this week. Annoyed Scrib is annoyed. I suspect it has something to do with me not doing anything this week. Running's usually what I do and that's really about it, so this whole things with my knees and shins hating me isn't cool.
Ugh. Still looking for a new doctor.

Week Seven - Weight Update

Got on the scale this morning, and 173.9. YAY! Eight pounds in seven weeks. I'm still looking to shed a pound this week, too. So nine in seven weeks, maybe? That would be awesome.

No bikeride today. Looks like it might rain, so I'll do yoga instead. I need to work on flexibility in my legs anyway.

Week Seven - Tuesday Run

I have no idea why I didn't run yesterday.

Anyway. Ran about 1.5 miles, I think. Then the shin splints and pumpkin pie kicked in and were like "OH NO YOU DON'T" when I attempted to continue. Was going to add another mile today, too. Decent run, other than that.

Tomorrow I think I'll ride up to Old Town and do some homework at the liiibrary after getting a drink somewhere. Also, I'll need to schedule a couple doctor appointments - GP, optometrist, etc.

Week Six Weigh In and Run

Ooooh boy. I wouldn't be surprised if I gained a pound last night after the terrible misbehavior at Tracy's party... fries + "brownie obsession". Fuuuuu-! Probably close to 2,000 calories, when my average is closer to 1,000 a day. Which I met at dinner.

Anyway.
175.9 was the weight yesterday morning.

Plans for week seven: run Monday and Tuesday. Long bike ride Wednesday. Weights on Thursday night. Running Friday and Saturday. I should be adding another mile or so by Friday. I love that I put on lean muscle easy as pie. :)

Edit:  ran. Humidity made it miserable and hard to breathe, so compared to Friday, the distance was almost non-existent.

Week Six - Friday Run Check In

Ran most of the two miles. My guess is close to 1 3/4 miles. YAY! Just have to work on speed and stamina now, before I add more miles.

I think I'm hitting a plateau in what this particular running routine can do for me. Only seem to have dropped half a pound this week, which annoys me more than a little. I'm going use yoga in combination with the running, I think. That helps with over-all weight loss when I took the class.
