Ping Pong

I keep bouncing back and forth between the 145s and the 146s. My goal for the week: break the 145 barrier and get into the 144s.

I was able to run with no problems and no pain Saturday and yesterday--HOORAY! I'm sleeping so much better already. I'm going to do weight training today (seriously, I promise) and give my legs a break, then run and do Pilates tomorrow. It feels good to be back on my running schedule.

I can definitely tell a difference in how my body looks--especially through my midsection. I haven't seen much of a change in my body fat though (at least according to my scale)--probably because I cheat on my eating plan all the time!

I'm very motivated to lose weight for my running. Last week, when I did 10 miles, I wore a Camelback water carrier that weighs 4 pounds when full. I could NOT believe how huge of a difference that 4 pounds made in my running. I felt sluggish and... HEAVY. Imagine if I lost 11 pounds and got to my goal weight of 135! That could really improve my speed/endurance!

Hope you all have a great Monday!

A few pounds...

makes a big difference.  When I leave with my camelback full, I really don't notice it as heavy....but when it's empty on my way home, I can really notice the difference!!  I feel so much lighter.

By the way, have you tried Accelerade?  I tried that this weekend before my run and I felt so much better.  I didn't really need my water until about halfway into my run, where normally I need it within about 5 minutes.  It made me feel hydrated!

confession!

i stole your break-the-plateau goal!  but it was too good to pass up!  let's join up for this week!  going strong and hard together! 

are you in?
