I woke up this morning and went for a 4 mile run. Then I cooked breakfast which consisted of 3 eggs with sauteed onions, peppers and mushrooms, and a 1/4 of cantaloupe. The onions, peppers, and cantaloupe were all from my garden.
Last night I cooked several chicken breasts, so I will have those to eat for a couple of days, as well as some frozen homemade soup that I still have in the freezer. My snack will be Greek yogurt with frozen berries.
My weight this morning was 162 pounds, so I lost one of the eight pounds that I gained last week. I am still reeling over that. I can't believe I gained that much weight in that short of a period of time. I am sure a significant part of it is water and it will come off quickly, but still. 8 pounds??
The run wasn't easy but it wasn't crazy hard either. I thought a lot about my triathlon and how much I am looking forward to being in much better shape next year, when I do it again. There is only one way to get there, and that is to get up in the morning and run!! I am glad to be back "on the program." It'll be interesting to see how my mindset changes over the next several months.
Starting today I am counting calories and protein and I will try to post each morning, with the previous day's results.
Until tomorrow...
Way to go! You can do it! I missed your blog, now I feel inspired to get back into mine :)
