Well I hopped on the scale this morning, as I do every Wednesday morning, and my weight loss was only 0.6 lbs. Boo. I know, I should be happy to have lost something at all, but I was hoping for a little bigger loss. My hope is that because I've been starting to run more, that I'm gaining muscle- and that's why the weight hasn't gone down as fast as before.
I was super good on the diet train every single day this past week except Saturday (I'm allowing myself 1 bad day).
Also, this week I have officially stopped hurting muscle-wise the next day (or hours later) after my run- I find that to be a success in itself.

My new running shoes are starting to get their work cut out for them. |
I also, this past run (Monday), was able to only walk 3 times total during the run (once for my 5 minute warm-up in the beginning, once at the halfway point, and once for my 5 minute cool down). I was most proud of THAT achievement. Now granted, my pace is super slow, but its more running and less walking.

from Monday's run. |

My newest turn around point- the faithful bench. |
|
the home stretch of my run- going under Route 1 with my home only a few blocks away. |
Here's some other highlights of my diet and exercise for the week:
|
Last Thursday's run stats and an awkward moment on the run... |
|
Saturday's run was beautiful with all the flowers... |
|
... and the bridge looking cool |
|
Saturday's stats- however, I would like to note- the mileage I think got a little off- since the gps went all wonky- I actually ran further on Monday than this Saturday's run, but for some reason the stats came up as Saturday was further. I blame faulty GPS- getting my hopes up that I went super far. lol. |
|
pretty flowers on the run |
|
I want this home owner's garden (I pass their beautiful flowers every run) |
|
Saturday's lunch- I split this with the hubs. |
|
Saturday's lunch- I also split this with the hubs. |
|
Sunday's dinner at TGI Friday's (we used a gift card)- sadly this was one of the best Weight Watchers pointed meals, other than just a salad and/or soup. I know- it's kind of pitiful looking. Poor tiny steak. |
*fingers crossed* I start to notice the losses and gaining of muscle more and/or next week is a bigger loss. We shall see.
