<\/p>\nI don’t really know if numbers are even really worth it this week.\u00a0 I’ll attempt, but it all just sorta fell apart.\u00a0 I hate when that happens – but sometimes you go splat and it’s for a good reason.\u00a0 Spending time present and attentive in your body makes one very conscious of whether you need the drill sergeant mentality or the mommy mentality.\u00a0 Sometimes, I just need to tell myself “quit yer bitchin’ and get to work”, but sometimes, I just need to give in.\u00a0 The end of this week was giving in.\u00a0 And while I’d certainly like to report better progress, I’ll take it.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Monday: 1403 calories in, 0 out (oops) = 1403 calories<\/p>\n
Tuesday: 1709 calories in, 624 out (5 mile run) = 1085 calories<\/p>\n
Wednesday: 1558 calories in, 300 out (30 mins DDR) = 1258 calories<\/p>\n
Thursday: 1891 calories in, 580 out (45 mins HARD arc trainer) = 1311 calories<\/p>\n
Friday: 1647 calories in, 0 out (oops again) = 1647 calories<\/p>\n
Saturday: 1559 calories in, 123 out (oops again!) = 1436 calories<\/p>\n
Sunday:\u00a0 approx 3000 calories in, probably about 1000 out = vacation badness (but totally worth it)<\/p>\n
Average per day intake: 1823<\/p>\n
Average per day output: 375<\/p>\n
Average per day net calories: 1449<\/p>\n
Weight: 160.2 (-1 from last week, -2.8 for the month)<\/p>\n
Not stellar, but it could be worse.\u00a0 Although it pains me because I’ve been lower this month and I’ve been way lower last year, I have turned the gain train around.\u00a0 I weigh 2.8 lbs less this month than I did last month at this time.\u00a0 I can actually feel it too, oddly enough. As much as 3 lbs barely matters when you’re 265 – it’s HUGE when you’re so very close to your maintenance weight.\u00a0 So if I can take down another 3 lbs this month, I’ll be even that much closer.<\/p>\n
I’m hoping to get a good week in this week with the eating, and again with the less crazy workouts.\u00a0 Although it’s pre-training time for the tri, so it will be a challenge to rein in my crazy – but looking at training programs (you know I have), there isn’t a huge daily commitment.\u00a0\u00a0 Most have you doing 20-60 mins 6 days per week, and I think I can roll with that and still keep the calories restricted until I try to push through and do that Olympic.<\/p>\n

Plan this week:<\/p>\n
Monday: off<\/p>\n
Tuesday: 30 mins bike, 5k run<\/p>\n
Wednesday: weights, 4 mile walk<\/p>\n
Thursday: 30 mins DDR, 30 mins bike<\/p>\n
Friday: 4-5 mile run<\/p>\n
Saturday: bike ride, weights<\/p>\n
Sunday: swimming laps at the ‘rents (yay swimming)<\/p>\n
…or something like that.\u00a0 By next week I should hopefully have a) a better plan for where I’m going to regularly swim (because I love seeing my parents and all, but a 4o minute drive or more in traffic each way is not going to exactly motivate me to swim regularly) and b) a training program.\u00a0 Considering I already completed 75% of the bike distance and the full run back to back yesterday, I think I’ll be ok, but I am definitely nervous about the swimming.\u00a0 So, if this week I can concentrate on good nutrition, not pooping out and completing at least A workout each day that’s scheduled (don’t know what was up my behind last week but I sure was pouty) and figuring out the swimmy thing, I think I’ll have a good week\/good loss\/good mental space heading into training.<\/p>\n
The mommy won out last weekend and I pampered myself.\u00a0 I enjoyed a few extra days off, a really yummy pizza, the best filet mignon and loaded baked potato I’ve ever had, and drank whiskey and watched the sunset.\u00a0 This week, it’s back to the drill sergeant.\u00a0 And I’m ready for it.<\/p>\n
