Okay, so I've been super busy at work (like, too busy
![Frown :( :(](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
) and fell off the wagon a bit. I didn't skip any exercise - I was really motivated to train for a race, more on that below - and I didn't eat TONS of crap, but I did stop tracking my daily food intake and probably didn't make super great choices, which was bad. Our at-work WW meetings need 15 members to begin a new session, and we had trouble getting to that amount this time, so our last meeting before today was May 10. I weighed myself a bit between then and today, and I know I gained some weight, just not sure how much...I consider the WW scale to be my "official" weight and none of the other ones ever match it (the ones at my house and the gym always have me as a pound or two less). Luckily I got back on track in time for our first meeting of the new session this morning, and I was down 0.8 pounds compared to May 10. Wahoo!
I feel good with where I'm at now and have been struggling to find motivation to work hard to continue to lose weight, but I feel like if I stopped here I'd be selling myself short. :shrug: Hopefully this new session will be a good way to wake myself back up and get it done!
Also, I ran a half marathon on May 21. I ran the same race last year (before losing weight) in cool and drizzly weather. This year, despite temperatures in the low-mid 80s, I ran the same race 16 minutes faster. :sohappy: I know it's partially due to some days of dedicated speedwork for the past few weeks, but it has to mostly be because I lost weight. So yay!
Have a great weekend everyone! :wave:
