Well...it's been a while, yeah? Don't worry, just because I've fallen off the blogging wagon doesn't mean everything has gone to rot. Not EVERYTHING, hehe.
So, yep. It's been an interesting couple of weeks. I've kept up with my C25K routine, which I'm really very proud of. I ran for 25 min straight this morning AND had gas left in the tank! I'm so freaking excited!! I can't wait to finish C25K and move on the the 8k training. Woohoo!
Also, the urge to weigh in every day has waned significantly. Thank goodness, right? Right. Part of that waning might be due to the knowledge that I've not been completely following my own food plan. I mean, don't get me wrong, I've been eating good food and largely sticking to the high protein, high fiber foods I had planned on consuming, but with all the craziness with family DRAMA, I've not been eating at home as much as I had expected, and that makes things a bit more challenging. All in all, I'm pleased with how I've handled this month so far, even while realizing that my loss will not be what it would have been had things turned out differently food-wise.
One major bonus related to not weighing in is I've been paying much closer attention to my body and the changes that are taking place. For instance, my legs are looking really different, especially around my knees. I have new dips and straight places around my knees that I've not seen, like...ever. The muscles in my calves are pretty freaking sweet, too. My forearms look smaller, and I've noticed changes in the upper part of my stomach, right under where my bra sits. I have a dip there now and it just seems more..receded? lol. And all of the fat on my stomach is softer--kind of looser, I guess--which is usually a sign that my body composition is changing. Yay!
I'm nervous about my weigh in this weekend, but I'm trying to throw that emotional energy into my workouts every day until then. EEK!!
Whew.
