Much stronger this week, probably could have pushed it to an even 8 miles, but trying to keep myself at the training pace. Since my goal is still that half marathon over labor day I need to keep my eyes on that. But it still felt good to feel that strong today, it shows that my strength is returning/building at the correct pace.
Went shopping yesterday, picking up more of the right foods for the Skinny Rules. We are having to keep tweaking the menus. Poor Kim has some problems with eggs, just cannot eat regular ones, and while she can eat egg beaters she still cannot eat them very much. So she is just going to have to eat some cereal, because there are not enough other breakfast options for her. But it's okay, it's all tweaking. And so long as it all works, and the weight is going down then we are good with it.
And we are starting to feel the effects of the change, foods that we used to eat are starting to become less appetizing, and in some cases we just cannot eat as much as we used to. Which is really the biggest part of this, it is a life style change. Both of us are generally healthy, and between my running and her physical job we get the proper amount of exercise. We just had to change our diets.
