Well, it was a good week 1! I kicked my butt every day except Sunday (rest day) with running and lifting. I'm a little frustrated with the scale, but there's no sense in dwelling on it. My running last week was better; this week I had some issues with my IT band, which may be due to how heavy on the hamstrings this stage of New Rules of Lifting for Women is. Oh well, still got some good miles in! There are two workouts left in this stage, then it's a week off from lifting (which conveniently corresponds with my trip to Colorado), and then back at it for stage 4 when I get back.
So, onto a recap of my "rules":
1. No baked goods: OK, so we had Italian on Monday and shared tiramisu for dessert. It was delicious, and I only consider it half baked, since creating the actual dish does not require baking. Not terrible.
2. Walk more: check and check. These are not including to and from the gym as I include those in my workouts. Saturday: 2.3 miles, Sunday: 2.56, Monday: 1.48, Tuesday: .96, Wednesday: 1, Thursday: 3.65. Booya!
3. Weighing once per week: This was brutal. Apparently I am addicted to my scale, because going cold turkey was ROUGH. I wanted to bust it out EVERY DAMN DAY.
4. Food: I didn't feel at all bad about going out for Italian on Monday, but I also didn't shove my face. *pats self on back*
5. Alcohol: errr, well, FAIL. I definitely had a few glasses on Monday.
6. Workouts: checkMATE, or something. Got every one of my workouts in and busted my butt.
Onto weight:
140, -.4lbs from last week
BAH! This makes me want to toss my scale out the window or stomp on it repeatedly, considering the amount of work I put in this past week, but at least it's a LOWER number, so I'll just suck it up and deal, DAMMIT!
