BFL Day 29

 "When adversity strikes, it is vitally important to dig in your heels and not give up" -Bill Phillips

I swear, I really think Bill Phillips reads my mind, because everytime I am thinking something, I read his little blurb for the day, and it is like he is talking directly about that problem I am facing that day. I am Still mad at my boyfriend today... I found myself wandering into the kitchen after every time I even thought about it. Instead of eating though I went to the gym and I ran. I can really feel myself getting better, I can run over 2 full miles again without stopping (weird to say since just a year ago I use to be able to run 8 miles without stopping.. but oh well). I stayed right on program today and I was proud of myself getting back in gear. 

I didn't eat as many calories as I would have liked to today. But other than that I think I made good choices and I worked out hard and I plan on doing the same tomorrow

M1 (250): flax seed muffin and tall nonfat latte. M2 (90): granola bar. M3 (260): chocolate whey powder, 1/2 c. soymilk, and 1 banana. M4 (260): salmon burger on whole wheat english muffin. M5 (250): pita pizza. M6 (100): glass of milk

Total: about 1250 calories

WorkOut: running 2 miles (22minutes), upper body work out (42 minutes), and yoga (really easy for an hour)

Hey girl

I think Bill Phillips is a mind reader too.   

I'm running off to work and don't have a ton of time, but from your question on the support group, I thought I would share what Fiona wrote several weeks ago.  Sorry to steal her words, but it's so true, and maybe help ya feel a little better....

Here's the thing, tho...I'm working on a diet/exercise plan in which your scale weight is viewed as the number least worth tracking.  The scale won't tell you that you've lost 4 inches on your waist, or that your body fat % has dropped 5 points (and don't believe those scales that claim they can!)  or that you can bench press twice as much weight as when you first hoisted a barbell. You can have all those things I just listed happen simultaneously and never lose a pound.  But you'll still see the difference on your body, because every pound of blubbery fat you've lost, you've replaced with a pound of sexy, lean muscle.   

I think you are doing awesome.  You are no doubt building sexy, lean muscle.  (which the scale doesn't always tell you about)

Are you enjoying the tracker?  Hope so. 

Gotta run.....
