CoExist

So back from this weeks weigh in, it's a better story than last week, but my husband also lost this week (darn that man)!  So I'm not really less than he is right now, I weigh about 0.5 pounds more than he does.  I see extra butter on his food tonight!  I had a 4.2 pound loss for this week, that makes my number for this week 161.2.  I'm not sure where Chris stands this week, but I bet we are pretty close.  During my consultion we talked about my less than perfect staying on plan this past week.  I'm not sure what happened, but I just didn't want the foods on the plan this week.  I didn't stray off that bad, but I really wanted other things this week.  I managed to pull the week together and only left the path for one meal.  My proteins were down again this week, don't know what happened there, but my sodium intake was finally under the daily recommended!  We decided to let me plan my own week this time, which just means that I picked all the foods on my menu and I do mean all the foods.  I still am taking two days off, but this coming month is going to be a rough one.  Yesterday was the first day of Ramadan, so this will be the first full week of Ramadan and we will see how I do.  I may end up cutting more meals out or may split the lunch meal up, not really sure.  It will be an experimental week that is for sure.                

Exercise this week was not really great either.  I know that everyone goes through these stages and I personally have done this before, but this week was rough.  I really didn't want to get off the couch, I really didn't want to run and basically forced myself to do at least 30 minutes everyday.  This morning was the first day I felt like running and even then when I was doing my run I didn't push myself that hard.  Next week I will start my training for the Prairie Fire 1/2 Marathon.  That will be the gauge point and then the following week I will register if things are going well.  We will have to see how it's going.  So not as many miles this week, but I'll look at it as a vacation of sorts. 

I will weigh in early next week because I work next Friday, so I hope to just keep where I'm at.  Fingers crossed.  Til next time, keep moving everyone! ~ Darcy 

Have a blessed month of Ramadan to my fellow brothers and sisters!
