Week 1 (January 10th) Weight Loss:  3 lbs
Week 2 (January 17th) Weight Loss: 2.51 lbs
Week 3 (January 24th)  No weigh in
Week 4 (January 31st)  1 lb gain.  Not surprised as this was day after a race/longer run (13.1 miles) and I generally tend to weigh a bit more due to extra fluid intake.  Plus it was T.O.M.
Week 5 (February 7)  No change.  Again not surprised as I ate a bit more (and later) than normal yesterday.  I plan on weighing again on Wednesday (maybe) to get a more accurate reading. 

I am not going to lie, this has me a bit peeved.  I feel and look smaller and I know that should count for something, but my tendencies have my mind needing the scale to move.  Hopefully this week.  If not, its time for another detox (next Mon-Wed) to get the ball rolling again.  I want to be at (or close to) pre-Chicago weight by TIR.

Did you overindulge for Superbowl?

************************************

I did not get up yesterday morning in time to run before I had to start caring for Mom, and by the time I got back to Houston, and did grocery shopping, I just wanted to chill before the game came on.  So I took yesterday off instead of the scheduled 4 miles I was going to do.  I hadnt had a day off since the Saturday before the half marathon, so I figure it was ok.  :O)

This morning, cold and windy again, but I got myself out the door for 4 miles before work.  This afternoon it will be another 4 miles in what they say is to be even windier conditions.  I pondered bringing my gym bag and just doing them on the treadmill, but eh, I just don't feel like doing the treadmill any more than I feel like I need to.  Plus its not like I am going to have a choice in the matter should unflattering weather pop up during the Texas Independence Relay.

Oh and I DID get out and run that little 3 miler later on in the afternoon on Saturday up at the fam's.  Was very windy, and I forgot about the little dips and hills out there.  I also made the mistake of running on what use to be such a quiet little FM (road).  Probably not my smartest move ever, but I didnt get hit by a car/truck so there was that :O)  So I ended up with 9 miles for the day on Saturday.  Legs felt a bit like lead but I think had it not been so windy and I hadnt been so worried about getting hit by a car, it wouldnt have been so bad :O)...I just had to run a bit faster and more effort than I really cared to.  :O)

Are you sure you are eating enough?

I know it's silly, but I had issues with not eating enough with my level of activity when I was trying to lose. For a normal person who doesn't workout like us it was fine, but for me, I had problems. I started eating more and the scale started moving again.

Melissa: Definitely. I am tracking (writing down) everything I eat from morning to night and there is enough food no doubt.

I just need to be more vigilant I guess and quit cheating from time to time :)
