Day 8: Making the cut

Feeling good and sticking with the program. The weekend was a bit different with the diet and having fast sunday but still going strong.

AM: 7 miles with a new friend, Valerie. It was fun. I don't know the pace. I didn't bring my watch. Finally felt recovered today.

PM: Circuit workout. I did not want to do it . It was late. Did it anyway!Yeah for me.

Calories 1600 about 150 more than I should but not much so I am okay with it.

Day 9: "Making the Cut"

Ran with Valerie again today. She is super speedy but humors me and runs at my pace.

I am trying not to be bumbed about the program I am doing. I have really only lost 1lb. I just expected to be loosing more weight by drastically cutting my calories. I am fitting into my clothes better but I really just wanted to see the progress on the scale. By the end of tomorrow I will be a third of the way done and I will see the whole program through. I guess we are not all made to be 110 lbs.

 Circuit weights 9 PM. Tuff workout and it felt great!

Day 10: Making the cut

6 along the riverbed. Beautiful morning. Tuff running today I was so tired. Good news is only one workout today. It is my day off for weights. Still going strong!

Day 11: "Making the cut"

Late night weights. I did each ciruit twice because of no running today. I figured out that only a week after the marathon I started running and I ran 9 out of 10 days after that. So I am goint to take it easy on running and focus on weights for the remainder of the program. I will still be running just not everyday.

Lost another lb. I am down about 3 lbs. I guess that is not so bad for 11 days.

I have also been eating just a few more calories than 1400. I think that is better for me. She does have you cut so low down in order to accomplish your goals in 30 days. But I really didn't take into account she only has you working out 4 days a week and only asks you to do 1 hour of working out on those 4 days. So I was exercising way too much for 1400 calories.

I feel like I have found a happy medium.

Day 12: Making the cut

Early AM workout. I did each circuit just once. I wanted to do them twice but my husband was gone surfing this morning and my children woke up before I could get to the second round. O well, everyday can't be perfect. I am planning on running 8-10 tomorrow so I am hoping that will take care of a few extra calories that I hoped to burn today.
