Operation Lose The Baby Weight: Days 43 - 49 (Accountability Log)

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.
