Day 23: Quick Note...

Running out the door, but forgot to add yesterday's weigh-in...

Weight: 184 (rounding, not doing the ounces thing 'cause I don't want to care that much), so that's down 2 pounds! Not bad considering the insanity of last week.

My workouts have been either hard core running or 2 hours of play time on the Wii (I mean snowball fight really?), what I've learned though is if I don't give my body a rest after a hard workout, I see no loss. It's like my body is afraid to give up any fat stores as I may plan another crazy workout so it's holding onto the reserves. So instead of the daily 5 mile runs, I'm actually dialing the insanity back a bit.

Food has been not great, but better then I was before I began recording my intakes, so I'll count that as a victory. Another thing learned- if I don't get enough sleep or at least 3 quarts of water a day, the scale doesn't move. Interesting the built in "care for your body" mode God designed.

Up coming food challenge: Burns Night is Monday and I'll be eating haggis, bannocks, bashed tatties, boozy onion gravy, shortbread, pineapple and butterscotch pavlova and tea with cream and Scotch. Needless to say not a waist friendly meal. Moderation will be the word for the day. Wish me luck!
