Fitness Update...

We are still at it, today was day 7 and I am down (just shy) of 7 pounds! This is amazing to me. It's not easy and there are so many things I want to eat but this is good for me. I am starting to really evaluate what I eat and how much I eat and what I really need. The no sugar and the no flour part are the hardest for me but I'm getting through it. Actually, I'm having less and less cravings for these foods which I am happy about. I do wish there was more variety, especially for dinner, but the continual losing of weight is validating and helps me to stay the course. So, I have about 9 pounds to go to hit my goal weight and I am hoping that I can hit that by Spring Break! We are either planning a trip to Colorado or to the beach/islands, either way I'd love to be lighter and leaner by then:) I haven't been working out very much this week because I didn't want to become too hungry and mess everything up but today I was feeling good and strong so I went for a 3.2 mile run and swam about 600 yds. It felt great. I am going to try to start doing something for at least 30 mintues 5 days a week until I hit my goal weight. Once I can start adding a bit more food back in I can start training again...tri season is just around the corner:) Yea!

Stay tuned...
