Its may be Tuesday but the second worst day of the week next to Monday but I am all smiles!
I am a loser! I have scale and non-scale victories today!
Round 1 of the 6 month Dietbet was a success! I won $16.21! I knew I was going to win that one and next was the 4% in 28 days. I had to be at 170.7 lbs to win. I ran 6 miles during my long run Saturday and took a rest day Sunday. The scale Monday morning read 173.6lbs. WHAT? UGH! I was so sad. My dietbet was ending and I wasn't going to make it! How could I be up! I was under on my calories! I read up on long runs and how your muscles will swell as they repair themselves causing you to retain water but it should dissipate a couple days after. So I crossed my fingers and drank a lot of water yesterday and very closely watched my eating and sodium intake. This morning I stepped on the scale with all my fingers and toes crossed and it said 170.6 lbs! Thank you! Yes, Please! So I quickly snapped my pictures for my official weigh-in and it has been verified that I won! by 0.1lbs but I'll take it! I'll find out how much I won Thursday morning and hoping to get some new running shoes this weekend to celebrate!
Half Marathon Training is going! I did 6 miles this weekend! New personal best distance! I really pushed myself and am proud of this run! I did walk a couple of times but for good reasons such as my ankle or shins started to hurt. I walked for a little bit and then picked it back up. Looking forward to 7 miles this weekend! During my Monday Easy Runs I've decided to start working the hills workout on my apartment treadmill to start building some different muscles so I can beat the Harbor bridge in November! Hopefully this will make the bridge a little less intimidating.
At the office today I was asked if I've lost weight! Yes, almost 50 lbs! It feels good that people can say they have to take a second look to make sure it's me! Yes it's me, I've always been this person on the inside, you just couldn't see it because there was some extra baggage I was carrying. Do me a favor and compliment a person today! Sometimes we are so obsessed with ourselves and what we are doing and just saying a kind word or catching up with a friend and asking about their day can make all the difference and make their day great! Even if it is a Tuesday!
Finally, would you be interested in some of my favorite recipes? Need some help planning ahead for the week to help you make good decisions? I'm thinking about sharing what I make every weekend for the week so help me keep on track. Tell me if this sounds like a good idea. Would you like it different posts? Maybe I'll make a page with my favorite go to recipes. Thinking out loud here
Well quick and dirty post today. Just wanted to share some victories that made my Tuesday! Thanks for reading!
