Week 3: Friday Check In

Well, this week wasn't spectacular. I'm a little irritated, because I did a pre weigh-in on Wednesday and I was down .4 kg, and then Thursday, when I weighed, I was only down .1kg. Today, when I weighed in, I was down .4 again. Sooo...thank you, Period. Appreciate it.

Anyway, I'll go with the Thursday WI number, as that's what I use for Weight Watchers:

Starting Weight: 70.8 kg (~156 lbs)

Current Weight, 16 April: 68.9 kg (151.9 lbs)

Total: -1.9kg, -4.2 lbs

On the bright side, I've been really good about going for runs, tracking everything I eat, drinking lots of water, and stretching. I'm still pleased with the progress from this week.

Week 2: Friday Check In

I had a great week this week! I lost 1.3kg (2.9 lbs) from last Friday.

Starting weight: 70.8kg
Current weight: 69.0kg

Total loss: -1.8 kg

I feel pretty good, I've managed to keep on track with the running, walking, and stretching. I've also been working to prepare really healthy meals, so I feel good on the inside, too!

Week 1, Friday Update

So, it hasn't been a full week since the last time that I posted, but I promised every Friday...

Current Weight: 70.8 kg = ~156 lbs

Progress on goals:

I've been eating really well -- balanced meals, lots of fruits and vegetables, staying within my points. I tried two new recipes this week, and I made an awesome stirfry, so I'm happy with my culinary prowess. I've been working to drink more water, which is...not always easy. But I'm trying!

I ran about 3.5 miles on Wednesday, and I've been walking to my French class every day (which is about 45 minutes a day). I'm planning to run about 6 miles tonight, in keeping with Ryan Hall's plan. So far this week, my workouts have been a little flaky, but I figure it's Week 1. It's all about finding balance!

Wish me luck for next week!

Goals

I've been a member of WeightWatchers for almost two years now. In my first year, I was able to lose about 30 lbs and for the last year, I was able to maintain that loss. Now, I want to finish what I started -- another 30 lbs to go.

So, I set some small goals to get me started:

1) Drink more water
2) Stretch every day
3) Eat at home more often
4) Exercise more

And my actual goal measurement hopes:

1) -5 lbs by 2 May
2) Complete a half marathon in under 2 hours (I ran the Paris Half Marathon on 8 March in 2:42)

To these ends, I have resumed counting points and started Ryan Hall's Half Marathon Training Program (available on the Runner's World website)

I'll update my progress every Friday.
