This week's theme: I have no idea how much I weigh. But at the moment, I think that's a good thing. Obviously my metabolism is taking its sweet damn time realizing I AM ACTUALLY WORKING OUT, and I refuse to be tied to the scale in the meantime. I do trust that I will see results eventually, and in the meantime I know I'm doing EVERYTHING I can. And then some, some days.
How else can I measure my success? For one, I've given up on fitday.com and implemented the Lose It! app on my iPhone. It budgets my calories for me as I go, and without internet at home this makes sure I don't go over with my last meal of the day + bad math skills. The week at a glace + goal tracking are also MUCH easier to look at. Now if they could just make a great pedometer for the phone, I'd be set!
Another thing I'm loving is that I know I'm in better shape. On January 11th I couldn't jog more than a block or so - literally. When I started jogging towards the start of February, I could do one mile at maybe 18 minutes. Maybe a little more? Yesterday, perhaps fueled by family drama, perhaps not, I knocked out 3 miles in 42:44. It was nice to de-stress on the treadmill, but I feel pretty confident I can stay at 15 minute miles even without extra motivation.
My small jeans don't fit over my butt yet - BUT THEY WILL. [For the record, Ro, these are the jeans you tried to make me get rid of because they were giant on me. Ah, smoking + redbull. You were great for weigh loss.]
5 weeks until my 5 mile Tulip Run!!
