Seeing is believing

Anyone else have those clothes you just know you are going to fit into 'some day'. I have several things in my closet....some I have never worn....because they were just a little small but I just knew I was going to lose the weight.

Well, this weekend I got into one of them...a pair of shorts I am embarrassed to admit I bought a year ago. Yup, that is how long it has taken me to get serious enough to actually make some visible changes. But it's a trend and let's hope it continues.

I did very well on my calories yesterday and have another 1500 calorie day planned for today, with a good weight workout and some extra long biking.

Not running has been HARD. I want to run. And yesterday I read and article that was a short interview with Jillian Michaels (my hero) and she said running is really the best calorie burn. So I want to get back at it to continue my success.....but I am trying to respect my body...and it's age, and remember that I need to do some resting if I want them to withstand the Ironman training.

Weight: 148
Exercise: 30 minutes weights, 9 miles biking (divided), 2 miles walking the dog
Calories: 1500

Sounds great! I'm sure it's hard to hold yourself back, but don't worry, you'll be working plenty hard soon enough. I'm psyched you're steadily seeing the 140s ... it make take me another 2 or 3 weeks, but I hope to be right on your heels and joining you there soon!

Hope your week is continuing virtuously!
