I did good yesterday with my eating AND with my running. I stayed right on track with my points. I am now eating 32 points per day being in weight loss mode and I ended up eating 35 points after dinner and dessert. I ate a lot of filling healthy foods so I was satisified for most of the day. I also resisted the temptation to give into my old habits and not stop at the mini-mart for pepperoni which has been all to common of late. I feel good about having a victorious day and pray that I can string together many more as the days go on. For dinner I had tilapia, veggies, half of a sweet potatoe, and a weight watchers “icre cream” dessert. It actually was a relief to eat healthy.
My run yesterday also went really well. It was an “easy” day with a 6 mile run at a slower pace. The temperature was around 79 so it felt like I was running in the cool fresh autumn breeze as compared to the day before where I had to do a “hard” speed workout (10×800 @ 5k pace) in 101 degree heat. Yesterday I was able to finish the workout as planned but the day before I had to be flexible and ended up only doing 4 reps at 5k pace, 5 reps at 10k pace and then the last rep at my marathon goal pace. It was a very difficult workout.
I am really trying/working hard to think positive about WW and how I am doing on it. The more negative I think the more negative I do. I know without any doubt that the program will work wonders and take the weight off but if I don’t do the program it won’t work at all. So I have done the program very well for a day and hope to add today as a victory also.
yay Jason, nice going! Hoping for the same thing for myself today… I haven’t been being as healthy as I could be- maybe some of your hard work and determination will rub off on me :).
I don’t know if I even have enough determination to rub off. HAHAHAHA 🙂
Congrats Jason!! SO often I think that the program is so restrictive as I think of all teh things I can’t have….but really as I read your post I kept thinking there is freedom in the discipline. Go YOU!!
There is freedom in discipline right?
Hi, Jason. I selfishly hope you’ll keep up with the blog. You’re a huge motivation to me, especially as I start–“for real” this time, you know :)–with the running thing. Best wishes to you, and please stick around! 🙂 ~ Val
I will be around Val. Thanks and great job with the running
I’m glad, and thank you. I ran seven minutes straight today–my longest run ever :)–and am so excited, I’m bouncing off the walls. 🙂 I can finally see today why people really enjoy running.
Great job Val. Running is a wonderful thing
