My current weight is 226.4 - which is about 20 pounds heavier than I was in my last post - when I apparently freaked the fuck out (I'll blame it on Wedding stress - LOL). I am at 42.5% body fat. I have been back at it for about a month now, and I haven't lost much. I am *hoping* that my body is just adjusting to the changes I am making.
I am drinking about a gallon of water a day. I am trying to get in about 1740 calories each day (plus eating back my exercise calories). I joined the Wellness Committee at work, and started a C25K running group. I have about 12 members now, and we just started week 1 this past Monday. We will be running in a 5K at the end of August. After that, I hope to continue to train (I downloaded the C210K app) and eventually run my first 10K this year. I have been walking on my lunch breaks at work, and a few nights a week with the dogs. I have done Yoga on my off days this week, and am doing a push-up/squat challenge each day.
On top of it, I am gradually trying to quit smoking - so that should be fun.
I keep telling myself that this is it. This is going to be the time that I am successful. This is the time I will wear a Bikini and be proud of it. This is the time that I will make changes that will last a lifetime, and not a summer. I just need to take it one day, one run, one meal, one pound at a time. I CAN do this.
Right? Right.
