I didn’t gain any weight.

Well, that’s not a huge victory to most, but it means a lot to me since I was feeling down last week ^[1]. I had a mini piti party, and I really appreciate the encouragement! It’s what made my Monday get off to a healthier start!

Actually, on Monday, I made wise choices with eating – grilled chicken, brown rice and green beans! Very plain and simple, but the right foods to fuel my body. Also, thanks to Carla (aka MizFit.com ^[2] – go check her site out, she is awesome)’s advice, I made a conscious choice to eat every 3 hours. I did just start the day with coffee, but had my breakfast around 10a, and then lunch at 1p, snack, dinner – you get the idea. I had smoothies or cereal for snacks in the evening. Special K with Blueberries ba-bay!!!

The exercise, I didn’t do too great. Monday, I did walk during T’s football practice. I went around 3 miles. It felt weird not running, but I wanted to just do something simple – not jolt my body but just be simple. I got my arms and legs in too. I was proud of it and it felt great!

Wednesday started great, I did some intervals (run/walk) and it started to get really windy. It started sprinkling – I actually love to run in the rain, it clears my mind. That sounds weird, I’m sure, but it helps me focus on something else besides the pain I may be feeling from the workout. This night, I was talking to God a lot so I didn’t want to turn back with just a few sprinkles. I’ve said before I have some of my best conversations and reflection when I run :)

In the last quarter mile, the rain comes down HARD!! I mean, It’s hurting my arms! I can’t turn around since I’m in the middle of a corn field, literally (it is the cross country course again, remember). So, guess who left their iphone on the chair? Yeap – ME!!! I go back to my poor iPhone sitting in a pool of water. I don’t think there’s hope for it, but I’m trying to dry it out. But, my run felt great :)

Anyhoo, I only got out two days to exercise this week. My eating was better. All I can hope for is better. I still need some motivation to get me wanting to do it. Like that want and drive like I had back in February…when all I could think about was the pavement and my conversations. I want that back!

How was your week. Any progress with your exercise, eating habits or even weight?
