This past week was way better overall than the week before, but I still
flitted up and down in that plateau of a 2-4 lb weight loss. So I didn't
lose any extra weight, which I was hoping to do. I was really
hoping to get out of this 2-4 lb range and move up into a consistent 5-6 lb
range. Especially because it's been 50 days. FIFTY DAYS.
That's 7 weeks already. So frustrating.
This week I'll be (hopefully) running and working out quite a bit. Not
just because I need to, but because it's once again the week before a
"rest" week before a half marathon. So during my
"rest" week I'll really have to watch what I eat, since I won't be
burning off any calories on the treadmill.
I have eight weeks left to hit my first goal. At this rate, I'm not
going to make it. But if I can somehow flip things around in my favor,
maybe I can make it happen.
