Total Lost- 3.8
I must say, I am very pleased with this. Yes- it's a two week total, because a week ago Thursday, for dinner, I had some very salty soup and so on Friday instead of seeing a 2 pound loss- from 170.8 to 169-ish, I saw a 2 pound GAIN- yep the scale said I weighed 173 (Whatever I said, and then I ate a dozen cookies....maybe more). I then tried hard to make up for the lack of caloric control I showed on Friday AND as you can see......I did well :) I'm very happy with this loss, it's pretty much a 2 pound per week loss, which is what I'm looking for at this point.

2012 was not great- so let's start over in 2013
Long story short- in 2012 I struggled for months with runners knee, I had 4 surgeries (none of them knee related) and 2 miscarriages. And guess what, I gained weight. So I'm starting over. Over the holidays I was able to lose 6 pounds, which is great. I mean who loses weight over the holidays? Me!
I'm running again. In fact, yesterday, I ran 5 miles and it felt amazing. It's been just over a year since I've been able to run more than 3 miles. I have a Half Marathon scheduled for the beginning of June and I am about 2 weeks away from finishing the 10k training schedule and then starting the Half training schedule. This makes me very happy.
I know that my runners knee was an overuse injury, and so I am doing my best to take it slow. I can't seem to run as fast as I used to and that is okay, I just want to be able to run, so if I'm slower, then I'm slower. I'm not going to push myself and I have plenty of time so if I have to back track a week or two on the schedule I can.
I am also trying to eat well, and I'm trying to following the carb counting diet I was on when I was pregnant with my little B. I'm feeling pretty good, healthy and strong and for the most part I'm not feeling any huge sugar cravings. If I could stop eating little bits of granola here and there I'd almost be perfect. BUT no one is perfect so, I think I'm good.
Friday is my weigh in day now. SO- expect to start seeing updates.
