Just a quick update...
I weighed in last Thursday and was UP a pound. I did feel a little bloated, but I was pretty upset, because I have been working HARD. Maybe this week I'll see a good loss, as long as I can avoid bloat on Thursday or Friday!
It's so sad that I gave myself 3 months to lose 10 lbs and I am more than half way through and less than half way through the weight loss. I guess right now the weight isn't as important as the way I look. I am kicking ass in kickboxing and bootcamp and I am looking forward to seeing the changes in my body. I think in the last few weeks my arms have gotten a little more toned!
Anyway... yesterday I ran my fastest ever mile... It was all downhill at a place we like to hike. We hike up the mountain trail and run down the road. The first run down was about 1.5 miles and we did it at an 8:05 minute per pace, which was my fastest pace ever. Then we hiked back up (VERY slowly... boyfriend was way ahead of me haha), and this time we hiked a little further so we got to the road in a different place. We ran about 1.15 miles in a 7:30 pace!!! My NEW fastest ever! I couldnt even believe it! Before that, my BFF and I ran a 5k from my house down to a breakfast place (11 minute mile pace), so it was a BIG exercise day. I had planned to go to kickboxing this morning, but instead I am here at home typing away and drinking coffee! SO sore.
Anyway, I've run 15% of my goal of 365 miles so far, so I'm on track. I wish I could get a little ahead since so I didn't feel so pressured to run instead of go to these classes I am enjoying.
In other news, I can't remember the last time I purged. I know it's been in the last year because I remember doing it in this home, but it's been so long and few/far between that it's not something I even think about anymore. That is pretty exciting.

Congrats on the new personal record, and being purgefree (is that a word??)...
ReplyDeleteI really hope you see the results you hope for by the end of this week cause you are doing a great job, and you deserve to see some proper results.
Take care of you :)
Wow, congrats on the run! That is amazing. And well done on getting such a good handle on the purging. The fact you don't even think about it anymore is wonderful, I really hope it stays this way.
ReplyDeleteDo you ever check your body fat percentage, or even your measurements? I really wouldn't be surprised if you're losing fat but gaining muscle with you activity levels.
Keep up the good work :) xx
