I don’t usually write on my blog over the weekends, but I was just too excited today to wait until Monday. I was worried about weigh-in this week for the obvious reason: Thanksgiving, eating more than usual, temptation, being off routine due to the holiday.
On top of that, I am trying my best to nurse this foot of mine and get it healed up, so I cut way back on my running, which is killing me. I wanted to do a distance run this weekend, but I made myself table that until I am sure I am healed up.
I enjoyed Thanksgiving, started the day with a 4 mile run, and made sure I was satisfied but didn’t eat until I was bursting. It was hard to get right back on track after that meal, but I knew if I didn’t, there was no way to avoid a gain on Saturday morning. With less intense workouts, I was afraid of a gain anyway, no matter what else I did.
This morning was the moment of truth, and I am happy to report that I lost 1.8 pounds! I am so proud of a loss during a holiday week AND with an injury. Not too shabby!
I can’t believe how fast this Thanksgiving break is flying by. (Why can’t the work week ever go by this fast?) Time to shut off this computer and get back to my husband and stepson.
Happy Saturday!
