Second Week Weigh-In...

Isn't this new blog design cute? :0)

Today I started day 15 in the training process. Since I set my weigh-ins on Wednesday mornings, today was the day to face the scale. I lost 3.5 lbs this week for a total of 7.0 lbs in 2 weeks! I'm VERY happy with that!

During last night's workout I pushed 18 minutes total running time and tonight I pushed 18.5. It has been especially hard because it's humid as hell in the gym and there's very little air circulation. The good news is that I'm starting to be able to do 3 minute segments of running. Woo Hoo! Tomorrow morning, I'm going to attempt my first outside run, assuming it's not raining.

My next challenge will be Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. The good news is that resisting temptation has almost become a habit and much less difficult. The first week and a half it killed me, but now I'm just used to it. We went and got me some turkey and veggies that I'm going to have just for me. I'm prepared...I should do fine.

I'm finding myself fighting the holiday blues that I get every year. It's really interesting, I feel that it's the best time of year, yet every Christmas I find myself feeling a little bit sad...hopefully it will pass soon.

Here is my progress so far:

Workout 1: 7 minutes running time
Workout 2: 8 minutes running time
Workout 3: 9 minutes running time
Workout 4: 10 minutes running time
Workout 5: 10.5 minutes running time
Workout 6: 16.0 minutes running time
Workout 7: 17.0 minutes running time
Workout 8: 18.0 minutes running time
Workout 9: 18.0 minutes running time
Workout 10: 18.5 minutes running time

I hope everyone has a fabulous Christmas! :0)
