Down to 217.2

Slowing in weight loss each week, but really need to up my exercise levels.

It's been a good week for me.  I set a personal record in my 5K race on Saturday, and *almost* achieved the pace I wanted to--I wanted to run 10 minute miles, and I paced at 10:04, so that's not too bad.  Even finished 4th in my age group, and in the top half of finishers.  I never in the world thought I would be doing that.

Starting weight:  298.4
Last week:  138.4
This week: 137.3
This week:  Loss of 1.1 lbs

Still not trying to lose anymore, but I can't quite seem to find the "sweet spot" of calories vs. exercise.  Yesterday I wasn't even really hungry, and ate less than 1200 calories for the day.  That was after riding my new bike 10 miles in the morning, too.  (My butt-bones hurt, LOL!)

Gotta take advantage of these gorgeous days for running, walking, riding--whatever you can do outdoors.  Summer seems so short!

I guess my link isn't going to work. Contact Debbie and she'll get you on her email list. Then she'll email you the brochure I was trying to share. Sorry for the frustration.
