Weigh In Wednesday!

I said last week that I think I've hit a plateau. Well, I'm happy to say I've lost 2 pounds this week. YAY! Although, I'm not getting overly excited. I feel like I've gained & lost this 2 pounds for awhile now. Let's see if I can keep it off & lose a little more in the upcoming week.  I've already gone to Yogalates twice this week & I'll be leaving shortly for class. I plan to go tomorrow too. I ran Monday & this morning. The weather was better today than Monday. Not nearly as much humidity or it was cooler or something. I did get a "side stitch" today. I had to do (2) 10 minute runs with a 3 minute walk in between. The stitch hit me about 7 minutes into the first run. I made it through but was worried I wouldn't be able to finish the second run. I used the 3 minute walk for some deep breathing which I keep hearing is good & was able to complete the last 10 minutes without a problem. My next run is Friday morning & it's  a 25 min run with no walking. Wish me luck. If anyone has any tips on the whole stitch thing I'd love to hear them. From everything I've read it's all about your diaphragm & breathing. I read something about not landing on the same foot every time. I have no idea how you go about fixing that & I'm not about to try. That's waaaayyyy too much thinking for me. I'm lucky I can breathe.

Not much of a post but I have to note this stuff or I won't stay motivated.  Not to mention there's nothing else going on this week.

Toodles!

  3. Keep at it - I started WW again this week. I've been doing good on my own for a while, but like you hit a plateau so I figured it was time to get back on the wagon. I would love to try a yoga class - I think it would just make me feel better all around.

  4. Congrats on your two pound loss. Just take that 25 minute one minute at a time. You'll be able to do it. It will tell you when you are half way done (my goal was to just to get to that point). Then, it will tell you when you have 10 minutes left (I'd tell myself.... it's only 10 minutes - I can do 10 minutes). etc, etc. You'll do fine... that program is amazing!

  5. Two pounds is good! My scale is stuck this week and won't budge. It did the same thing a few weeks back and it was hard to reach 15 pounds lost. Now I'm stuck at 18. I've started using the treadmill, but that hasn't helped. I'm really trying to get to 20 lbs! At least our scales are going the right direction!

  8. Isn't it crazy all of the things you have to think about when you are running? Shouldn't running be simpler?
