That's what life should be all about...

Oh yeah, I also am trying to lose weight with Weight Watchers & hope to one day be able to call myself a runner.

A gain of 1.3 pounds.  I knew it was going to happen.  During the middle of the week I wasn’t there mentally with my weight loss.  I was feeling sorry for myself and let myself indulge a bit.  I weighed myself on Friday morning and was sort of shocked by the gain but thankfully I managed to get it down with lots of water, watching what I ate & walking 11 miles this weekend.  This sure isn’t helping me with my monthly goal of losing 8 pounds but I will try to do my best to get there.

My workouts for week 8 are:

  • Monday - rest day
  • Tuesday - 40 minutes walking
  • Wednesday - 25 minutes walking
  • Thursday - 40 minutes walking
  • Friday - rest day
  • Saturday - 50 minutes walking
  • Sunday - 8 miles 

As I’ve done for the past 7+ weeks, I will continue to do at least 5k on non mile days.  I just had a mini freak out seeing 8 miles.  The 7 mile workout yesterday was hard.  I’m still sore and definitely need a rest day.   But damn I am in week 8.  I remember a while back I didn’t think I could walk 5 miles and now I’ve done 5, 6 & 7 mile workouts.
