Another day, another notch on my slowly-loosening belt.
Food was good. Not terribly low carb, but I didn't over do it on anything & had plenty of protein. I did have one little brownie after dinner--the last of the batch from the weekend which I'd forgotten about but stumbled upon while looking for a small bite of a Hershey bar. But it's all good. Gotta have a treat once in a while, and, after all, it's been 3 days since I had anything decadent.
And I ran another 5 miles today in just over 59 minutes. I'm still not as fast as I was in October, which is a bummer, but I can totally tell it's because I'm lugging around an extra 10 pounds. Oh, and because cardiovascularly I'm not as well conditioned. And the cold air messes with my exercise-induced asthma. And, let's see, any other excuses? I kid. I'm just glad to be out there for 60 minutes moving my body.
It was so gorgeous tonight. 51 degrees when I set out. The sun was shining & I ran the whole time in the light. It didn't get truly dark until almost 5:30. Love it. Spring feels like it's on its way. Tomorrow the temp is going to be even warmer. Unfortunately I'll be taking a rest day because we have 3 client annual review appointments tomorrow, that run up until 5 p.m. And really, I need a rest after two hard running days in a row.
Maybe tomorrow would be a good day to do that Jillian Michael's DVD, ya think? I haven't had time to watch it. Heck, I haven't had time to clean my kitchen for 2 days. Life gets that way sometimes.
So it's getting late & I still have work to get done for tomorrow's meetings. I hope to catch up with you all this weekend.
Much love & thanks so much for all your support!

please go read Lynn's post and my comment there - it will answer part of your question (on my blog earlier this week). I am still pondering it.
glad your week is feeling better to you! We were up above freezing for a tiny bit yesterday!!!
Nice Job Laura!
Good job on the success. And awesome run. October was what, 40-60 degrees warmer too? The fact that you are still doing 5 miles multiple times a week, is just great.
Hope you have a restful weekend...let us know if Jillian kicks your butt.
I try to only track time or distance when running, not both. That way I don't get hung up on how fast I'm going. Mostly I just focus on time because it's easier and I don't have to measure a route.
Excellent job on the re-integration of exercise, food, etc. You're doing great. Especially in this cruddy weather. Have a great weekend and thanks for the kind words over at my blog. :-) You're the greatest!
Get your fabulous on!!
When you find time to clean your kitchen, please come clean mine!!
=)
You are SO good! Good for you.
Wouldn't that be cool if they really did rebuild me with bionic parts? Your comment cracked me up. Of course, I was thinking maybe bionic parts would help with my slowness!
glad you had another great day of success. it definitely is hard to get back on track but you are doing great. thanks so much for your supportive comments on my blog. I may just have to try that diet!
