Ok, seriously, it's been 3 weeks since my last post. I've been working out about 6 times a week. I am faster, I feel healthy, and yet, the scale laughs at me every week. Today the Princesses in Training crew switched up our run:walk ratio to jog 3 minutes, walk 2 minutes. We also upped our group mileage to 6 miles and I kept going and did 9 miles. Our group pace is down to 13:59 minute miles. Steadily going down.
On another note, I'm p'd off about this damn weight issue. Two of my running buddies and good friends enlightened me today. "Diet is 80% of weight loss and exercise is 20%". S%$#!!!! Really?!?! Ok, I am doing something really wrong and it's time to make a drastic change because I have had enough of this weight issue. Tomorrow I begin a new plan of eating. I won't diet and cut calories altogether because I am exercising way too much and need to fuel my body. I'm not willing to compromise feeling stronger for losing weight but I need to find a balance.
Soooooooooooo, I downloaded an app to my phone called MyFitnessPal. I am committed to eating every 3 hours on the dot and counting calories of every single thing I eat. Let's see if this finally pushes me in the right direction. Starting weight, and I hate to admit this, 166 lbs. My goal weight is 138 lbs, my pre-baby weight.
