I have now gotten myself caught up to the present.
Today was W2D1 of the C25k. I am still doing 1200 cal no matter how many I burn off exercising. My weight fluctuates daily but as of yesterday I was down 10 lbs. since June 30, 2010. I feel like my mood has improved and I know my fitness level has improved because today was run for 90 secs walk 2 mins alternating for 20 mins total. Catie, my partner, and I knocked it out like a boxer with a glass jaw.
My meals still include a lot of salad and a skinless breast of chicken from the grill no bbq sauce. I have also included roasted bell peppers, yogurt, a small amount of cheese occasionally, fruits for breakfast, and low a calorie choc frozen bar for desert. My usual daily calorie intake is between 800-1100.
I have decided that it is not a diet, but a change in habit. "How hungry am I willing to be at then end of the day?" is how I stay on track eating right. I know it will soon become a lifestyle of eating just like eating out becomes an eating lifestyle for some. My goal is to lose a total of 40 lbs., tone up, and be comfortable with myself in a mirror. That last one will be the hardest I think.
My motivation today was completing a new plan. I accomplished that goal, baby steps will have me at my long term goal of the weight loss in no time. Also, I have a new long term goal, run in a 5k race, and eventually even an Ironman competition.
