Dear James, Daniel and Emily,
First the good news, finally nudged a little below my plateau, not below 180 yet, but still nudged a little lower. Second, last night I decided to take this morning off from my normal work out. See this weekend is going to be pretty busy and active. We have plans for more furniture moving and now some painting thrown in to boot. Given that I figured that I needed a day of rest some where. And I wasn't going to give up my Saturday or Sunday runs, so today made the most sense. I don't plan on making this a trend for all Fridays, just doing it this one time.
On the weight loss front I wonder if there isn't actually a little hidden science I stumbled across. Last week I was really good, every day I came in under my alotted net calories, but I didn't lose any wieght. This week I was actually closer to target pretty much every day. And I wonder if the net calorie amount is there for me to actually hit, not try to see how far below I can get. I know that it is possible to push the body into starvation mode if you don't eat enough, and maybe that is what I did the previous week.
I officially signed up for the long series for the Colorado Springs Grand Prix of running this week. The first race is next week: the St. Patrick's Day 5K. The funny thing is that I have been running at least a 5K every Saturday for at least month now, and that is actually my easy or light running day. So the race next week should be a snap. Whioch goes to show how far I have come from a year ago when I was just starting the running program, who would have thought I would be here today?
