Get Fit: Week 14

So...turns out life sometimes gets in the way of progress.  Excuse?  Maybe.  But it's reality, and it's the reality I've been finding myself in pretty much since the commencement of the school year.  That said, I have made some progress this week.

Exercise: I logged 26.5 miles this week.  I took a screen shot of my Nike app to my husband as I was heading to yoga after my 6.5 on Saturday morning, and he pointed out that if I went 3 more miles this week I'd have a marathon's worth of miles.  Guess what I did bright and early Sunday morning before Rick left for church?  I also yogaed 4 times.

Diet: I'm not sure what's gotten into me, but I am really struggling to stick to my plant-based diet.  I thought things would get easier when I went back to school because I can only eat what I bring, but it turns out that when the kid whose dad works at the Mars candy factory brings in a box full of candy and your team elects you to be keeper (because of your reputation for self-control, mind you), those dark chocolate M&Ms and that dark chocolate Milky Way chilling in the closet seem much more difficult to turn down.  And there was a holiday.  And...blah blah blah.  Bottom line: I am not working very hard at the diet, despite the fact that last week, I said I would be rock-solid and the 1.8 lbs (which I realized I figured wrong - it should have been 1.3) would be gone by this week.

Breakthroughs:

• Somehow (maybe all my walking?), I still managed to lose weight, though admittedly, not a considerable amount:
• Weigh in: 145.6
• Total weight loss so far: 39.9

I'll take it!


Week 15 Goals:
It gets its own post...coming soon.
