Gotta make this snappy, as I'm already behind on my work this morning (Mondays SUCK).
In looking back over the past month, the one thing that really sticks out to me is the food thing. Reading my entries from the first week, I can see that I did really well for about six days before falling off a cliff. I binged for the first time since June. Yikes. What made that difference? I'm not entirely sure, but I think it might have to do with counting calories. BAH! I hate that something that realllllly helps in losing weight triggers a behavior that interferes with that same goal! BAH, again. I need to be more aware from here on out.
In terms of exercise, I did pretty well. Even with all the craziness related to my family and the holiday festivities, I managed to keep up with my running. But that's it. Three runs a week. Not NEARLY enough exercise for this old bird, no siree. ESPECIALLY when I'm eating whatever is convenient and semi-tasty. Definitely room for improvement here, as well.
So while ONE POUND lost is not much, when I look back over my choices, I feel pretty fortunate to have moved in the right direction at all. As for those CRAZY inches lost, well, Jesus loves me. :D
My plan for this upcoming month-and-change is to end this year in style:
*Finish the C25K program and begin the Gateway to 8k routine
*Go to bed by 10pm every night, no matter what
*Add digestive enzymes and Cal/Mag to my supplements
*Continue keeping protein levels high
*Add a brief yoga routine following my regular runs
*Implement that weight training program that I DIDN'T do last month
*Complete the Two Hundred Sit-Ups challenge
*Weigh once a week instead of once a month
*Drink copious amounts of water and herbal tea
Onward and Downward!!
