Jeans, take 2

Jeans a full 2 sizes smaller than what I was wearing in mid December can now be zipped. Not worn for any period of time, but still zipped.

Go me!

The purpose of my life...

is to achieve the things I dream of and through those achievements inspire others to strive to meet their own goals.

Grand return

So I just returned from Arizona. Quite a bit of fun. Lots of large fencing battles which involved me running around like a nut. if you want to see more about it got to

www.estrellawar.org

That is where i was. Recreating medeival times and fencing and visiting with friends.

Usually when i go to this thing I struggle - eating food from the equivalent of carnival food for 4-5 days. This week - I joined on somebodies camping meal plan and saved myself bunches of calories. I also kept myself away from the temptation of fried foods and ice cream. In fact my food consumption over all was quite low.

I had been doing the chicken apple diet thing last week prior to my vacation and was down quite a few pounds (according to my scale about 3 or 4). This morning when I got on the scale I was only 1.3lbs higher than my low weight last week. Pretty happy with that.

As I never got to officially weigh in on the chicken/apple cleansing diet - I am restarting that today. This time around feels easier to deal with, though I'm curious how the workout tonight is gonna be. We shall see!

Though I had fun, i'm sure glad to be back on track. April 15th is not that far away!

Undeterred

Sigh, I was very down that after all of that running I ruined it with a slight foray into a breakfast buffet last sunday. I used the minor gain as a springboard to be a hawk about my food intake. To record every last morsel that went into my mouth.

I have not run as much this week, my knees and ankle really sort of needed a break - but I have worked out most every day and I'm feeling confident I can get through super bowl sunday without busting my calories.

My goal - to count count count. I want to see the scale go down!
