Before I give you guys some of the highlights of my week, I just wanted to say that not blogging for almost a week has made me realize how much I love it. I felt like every day there was either something I did or something I ate that made me want to immediately run to my computer and post it. I know at least some of my
Here's an update of my life:
I am officially one of those cool runners now.
I absolutely LOVE my new Garmin, and while I'm not training for a marathon or anything super awesome like that, I really like being able to accurately track my distance and time without running on the stupid treadmill. After my first run I quickly learned that I'm really going to have to work hard if I want to attain my 5K goal of 33:00 at the race in two weeks!
I've started counting calories again.
Even though I absolutely hate tracking every thing that I put in my mouth, I have proved to myself time and time again that I can't lose weight without doing it. So far it's been going well. I went a little over yesterday (travelling does that to ya) and today probably won't be perfect either but I'm still tracking it all.
I'm also making an effort to keep my carb:fat:protein ratio at about 40:30:30. I had one day last week that was almost perfect:

Btw, I didn't eat a single crumb. I'd rather eat tilapia anyway.
Oh, and that's a lie. I choked down the fish while drooling over the cake. Dieting. sucks.
Lastly, I think it goes without saying that I did lots of this:
I am now an expert on diabetes, thankyouverymuch.
Alright friends, I'm off to go get ready and then head to the convention center! I hope I get to meet Amanda Latona!!
I'll be catching up on all of your blogs, but quick; tell me some of the highlights of your week!
Yay for the Garmin! It will change your (running)life! I actually think im ready for a blogging break...ive lost my mojo!
ReplyDeleteAwh lucky you, you've got spring break this week! I just gotta get through this week and then it'll be my break time. :) Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteNice Garmin--I'm jealous! I miss the days of spring breaks, I think it should mandatory for work to give us off for three days during the spring time for a mini vacation. But unfortunately, dont see that happening any time soon!
