After a week and a half of Fitday, I got kind of bored with it and stopped keeping track of what I was eating. Got on the scale this morning and I was up 3 lbs from last week - for a grand total of 1 pound of weight loss over 3 weeks. Hmm. I would really like to drop 15 pounds or so. I will have to figure out a way to do that without obsessing about food - because once I start obsessing, I eat more. Daily 2-hour workouts did it for me back in the day, but that is just not feasible right now (nor does it sound all that appealing, really).
On the exercise front, I finished 4 miles in 43:45, which is exactly the length of an X-Files episode called "The Ghosts that Stole Christmas". X-Files holds my attention much better than the West Wing....you actually have to concentrate when watching WW, because everyone says clever things under their breaths and the dialogue can be rapid-fire. Even sitting still, I have a hard time catching everything in a WW ep.
The stats:
4 miles
43:45
10:56 pace (!! Woo hoo!!)
544 cal
Okay, so I did rest on the treadmill rails a couple of times while it was still running. But that's still darn good for me, and very close to the 10:45 or 10:47 or whatever it is I'm supposed to be doing for my tempo runs.
Eight miles this weekend - Sunday is supposed to be sunny and 40, so I'll be out there then!
