I had a nice run with my group this morning. It was only two miles, so I should shoot for more calorie burn later but I don’t know if I will. What I would really like is to find a nice 3.1 non-hilly route to try. Our coach said we were doing a nine to ten minute mile pace today and I find that REALLY hard to believe. I am an 11 minute mile girl at the track. Of course, there are no other people there to keep me going faster and also running in circles is not as motivating as knowing there is a finish line you have to get to.
Breakfast and lunch were the norm. Fruit of the day, papaya. Dinner was salmon, salad (with romaine and fruit), and green beans. Weight was 148.2 this morning, so it looks like my fun little spurt of losing has come to a halt. Oh well. There will eventually be another one. I think that the four mile runs helped. I need to do some five mile runs and see if that will get the weight loss moving again. Today I am really fighting off a big appetite. I have thought about food a lot and thought about A LOT of food. I have felt sort like that going in a grocery store hungry thing. Constantly thinking everything sounds yummy and I want it all. I kept my calories at about 1,200 to 1,300 though. I would like to see the numbers moving in the other direction again.
last night (!) so we went to the mall and I got a pair of size 8 dress pants. When I bought the jeans in an 8, I thought it was a fluke. Then I put those pants on and they fit and look nice and I am starting to buy into this idea that maybe I am actually a size 8 (but not in the top, the vest I got was an XL). I still don’t think that all size 8 pants will fit, but maybe once I get a few more pounds off. So I guess that is going to be my size in pants. I never could have imagined.
