Week 47 (1/3rd Maintenance, 2/3rd Weight Loss)

I wrote this on 6/30- but my Internet went out and I forgot to post it! Silly, I know.

Last Week- 157.8
This Week- 155.8
_______________
Total Lost-       2 Pounds!


Well, I decided to try cutting calories again, since I totally rocked at maintaining! Anyway, since I was losing a good amount while eating over 2000 calories per day, I decided to tell livestrong.com that I only wanted to lose 1 pound per week instead of 1.5 as I had previously been doing. I have this theory. I think I will lose more than a pound per week....So lets see. I started out this week with 3 days of maintenance- and I started cutting calories again on Sunday or Monday (can't remember and the web page isn't working right now, ugh) so for at least 3 day I ate 2000+ calories and the other 4 days I ate 1600 and I lost 2 pounds!!!! I think my theory was correct. I will admit that I am running close to 15 miles a week, so that burns calories and helps with the weight loss too.

I am feeling great, gaining strength and endurance. Its great. I hope this keeps up. Next major weight goal- to have a 4 in the middle of my weight. Next race- Monday! A 10k! Next major race goal- 1/2 marathon in August! YEAH!
