207.0
That's a total loss of 16.4 pounds, but only 0.4 for this week.
This week is teacher appreciation week at school which means muffins on Monday, a special lunch Tuesday, dessert Wednesday, and white chocolate covered strawberries from one of my students. Dang. I did say no to some things, but a teacher has to feel appreciated, right? Rob and my father-in-law also went to Dairy Queen on Monday night, but I resisted and got nothing. That's a big deal for this girl who loves caramel sundaes and Confetti Cake Blizzards.
I counted calories each day, but forgot to hit "complete entry" on My Fitness Pal app a few days. Oops again. The important part is that I counted calories. On Sunday morning, I set my alarm & headed out for my first jog/walk without the children. Rob took the morning shift with the kids so I could spend some time exercising. Hopefully this becomes more regular. I did a total of 2 miles- a little more than half walking and the rest jogging. I haven't jogged outside since college. I haven't jogged on an elliptical in three plus years. It wasn't horrible.
In the last few months I cheered for friends in two different marathons. As a cheerleader, you notice all the different running styles and strides. Some people look straight crazy running. I'm not an insecure person, but I was very aware of my posture and stride while I was jogging. Hopefully I didn't look too crazy! If I continue with this, I plan to head to Point 2 Running store soon because I haven't gotten new workout shoes in years. I'm also working on a fast walking/jogging mix for my i-pod. I love music and it makes the world of difference to me.
What songs do you love to workout to? I need a new mix.
