I weighed myself on Friday and honestly couldn't get myself to write on the blog, I was so disappointed. I'd gained 2 pounds. I've since lost one of them, but I was really bummed. I think drinking a lot of water over the weekend helped; I'd had a lot of salty food over the week. I need to remember to keep doing that to flush my system out, and to help my runs. I also only ran 2 times last week - although they were good, I had to miss both of my regular runs with friends due to events and such. I'm 6 weeks away from my first 1/2 marathon - it's crunch time!
Although my weight went up slightly, I'm still feeling really good. I really feel like my body is testing me - like it's not going to "give it up" until I've proven I'm sticking with it. There's nothing like motivation - I've told you how I'm doing this for my family, so that I can have more kids. Olivia (20 months) counted from 1-10 this weekend. I've got to stay healthy so that I can watch her cross that stage in her cap and gown in 20 years. (UC Davis! UC Davis! UC Davis!) Of course, it doesn't matter at all to me where she goes, as long as she's happy. (UC Davis!)

Don't beat yourself up over two pounds, Abs! Number one, muscle is heavy, so you probably are going to gain weight as you get more FIT. Number two, EVERYONE looses and gains a few pounds during the course of the day.
ReplyDeleteYou're doing a great job and I cannot wait to run with you in six weeks. I know that you'll finish the race no matter what. Remember that the weight that stays off is the weight that takes a long time to lose. And keep up the good work!
