Weekly Update: Restart Button

I have decided to do weekly updates on this journey… it will help keep me on track and motivated, and you can all make sure I do what I say.

So… here is how it went:

Saturday: 4.13 mile run, 1 mile walk with dogs and hubby
Sunday: 2 mile walk with dogs
Monday: 20 min yoga, 1.6 mile walk with dogs and hubby
Tuesday: 90 min Regatta rowing practice, 0.5 mile walk with dogs and hubby
Wednesday: 60 min spin class
Thursday: 1.5 mile walk with dogs and hubby
Friday: 3.3 mile run, 0.5 mile walk with dogs and hubby

NOT BAD AT ALL! So… today is a day to be unpacking and arranging the house, and of course, walk the dogs. Tomorrow, a long run. The seats in spin class hurt everything… so, rather than avoid it, I bought a cushioned gel seat cover to try. I am going back this Wednesday. Am keeping an average pace of 11-11:30 on my runs… not my best, but I am okay with that right now.  Going to add in some strength training this week!

Eating: I did good. One day I had a donut at work, but counted that as my morning snack, and adjusted the rest of the day.  My daily average intake was around 1255 calories. I am making healthy choices, less oil, nothing fried…. and feel good. Took my supplements every day too.

RESULTS:
Weight: 181.2 (-2.8)
Body Fat: 39.8% (-2%)
BMI: 29.8 (-0.5)
Chest: 39″
Waist: 36″ (-1″)
Hips: 44.25″ (-0.25″)
Thigh: 26.25″ (-0.25)
Bicep: 12″ (-1″)

A stellar first week if I do say so myself. Going strong through this week and have my workouts in my schedule already along with meetings and homework.

Today is my last day to try a green smoothie, so that will happen. I’ll let you know what I think!
