Rein It In

Yes! Yep! Just a little! Glad I'm not alone! And, yes, definitely let's rein it in! My friend Patti sent this poster to me. I slowly feel motivation creeping back into my mind...maybe it was my post from yesterday that got the wheels churning? I'm not sure, but either way I woke up feeling better then I have in ages. So far today, I'm doing awesome with my eating: I had 1 egg and 4 egg whites for breakfast with turkey bacon; a protein smoothie after my run; sipping on coffee and eating a vitatop now; tonight it's left over pulled pork. I went to the gym and ran in the movie room on a treadmill (movie was a Will Ferrell election type movie...no idea what it's called but it was hilarious!).
My 10k goal for today was 3 miles. I got to 3, and then figured I should at least do a 5k, got to the 5k and then thought I should run to 3.5 that way I get used to running longer distances then a 5k. Then I just walked to cool down (really, I was all wrapped up in the movie and didn't want to leave). I met Tabitha a little while ago and we did some laps around the lake. As of right now I'm right on track with my November Training Plan. I can't be more proud of myself.
THEN my friend Patti posted that she lost weight last week. I was so happy for her! I thought, well maybe we can start posting our weight on Tuesday's on the facebook page we have, so I ran upstairs and stepped on the scale. This smile is going to be on my face all day!

I DID IT!!! I busted out of the 160's. I stepped on the scale and it said 158.4. I thought that can't be right, so I stepped on again. 159. Okay, maybe it's still wrong. 159. Can that be right?! Yep, 159 again. Third time really is the charm. It's taken me months to break out of the 160's. I didn't do anything different last week, so I don't know why it finally dropped. Maybe I'm losing muscle tone. I've been worried about that since I haven't been lifting like I was; nor have I been doing any of the 90 day toning programs I was doing. Regardless, I busted through the plateau, and you know what - if I can do it with not being the greatest with my eating and workouts, then just imagine what I'm going to be able to do this week as I rein it in?!

I'm going to focus on today. Do what I can each and every day and not worry about how I've been the past two months. The only way to go, from here on out, is in a positive direction!
