I lost a little more than 1 1/2 pounds yesterday!!
I sweat cleaning the bathroom, then went on a 4.75 walk run. It was hard, long and more sweaty.
I really counted my calories in AND out.
It is nice to be rewarded when you work hard!
I was hoping for .5 a pound, but got more than that!
Yea!!

Progress
Ten pounds in two weeks.
A LOT of sweat.
It's watching EVERY calorie in and every calorie burned.
Achy muscles.
Trying to figure out how to do the business of losing weight AND cleaning the house.
I KNOW it is very optimistic to keep up this pace, but I would LOVE to.

Over the Hump!
Hooray! I lost my 2 pounds today. Now I am going to a special whoopdy doopdy running store in Pasadena to buy good shoes. I guess they really "fit" your foot. I will tell about the experience.
I ran 60 minutes today - my longest ever. AND I felt good at the end. I always try to finish strong. I did LOTS of stretching afterward. It felt good to stretch. My loins always hurt at the end.
I'm ready to tackle my LAST five pounds to be pre-pregnant weight. I think it will take me a month. I've noticed it usually takes me a month to lose 5 pounds.
I feel motivated today.

Plateau
I think I've plateaued. I've been trying to lose the same two pounds for two, maybe, three weeks now, and I just stay the same weight. 2 more pounds means I have met my next 5 pound goal. I told myself that once I meet that goal I can reward myself by buying new running shoes - my old ones are sooooooooo old and I know I need new ones AND I can go buy new pants because the ones I'm wearing don't stay on. I need a middle size pant to get me to my pre-pregnancy pant.
This week my goal is to run 5 miles/5 times a week. I will TRY to not eat cereal at night - that still seems to be my hardest temptation. I must get rid of these 2 pounds! They are driving me crazy. I'm ready to see a new number on the scale.

A 2 a Day-er
I burned 1120 calories today!!
I did 3 miles in the morning, then 3.5 miles at night.
Let's hope the scale sees my effort tomorrow!

Recent Lessons
A couple of really interesting breakthroughs in the last 2 weeks.
After the darling baby was born, the only thing I wanted to do to celebrate was to eat a hot fudge sundae. When I explained it to my OA meeting, I started crying. I suddenly discovered that I don't have any other way of celebrating except to go out and eat something. Working through all of that issue brought me around to the fact that I don't handle the stress of good times very well. I have learned to deal with bad stress, but the good stress is really getting to me.
I read the intro on a book that said that compulsive eating is a three pronged problem--emotional, spiritual and physical. I am beginning to see that. I have also realized that overcoming my eating is process. Although I have been on every diet under the sun, I have only just started to work through process of healing and it is that process that is going to create the weight loss that I need.
The last thing is that every layer of fat is really a layer of unresolved emotions that I have to deal with. (that is very bad grammar, I know) But I am finding that as I am more willing to deal with my emotional pain, it becomes easier for me to let go of the weight.
Down 34 pounds from a lifetime high of over 200.
On track to lose another 20 by the end of this year.
Very happy today.

Forced
I didn't want to, but I did do my run/walk today. I didn't enjoy, but I did enjoy the fact that I did it; I revved up my metabolism; I burned some calories.
Oh, I am down 2 pounds. I feel hungry, I will go drink a protein shake.
