Yay! and Bleh!

So, I'm not doing great on the eating plan. Not great at all. Well, not TERRIBLE as real-life goes, but totally not eating responsibly.

Working out is AWESOME and I'm seeing results in increased running speed. No joke, I haven't ever been this fast. 2:30 is MIIIIIINE!!!

Cool thing happened during the "fast upper" workout yesterday. The shoulder pain on my left for YEARS IS GONE! Heard a loud pop when I was doing jumping pullups, and voila! Problem solved! I still can't believe it, two days later and it feels good. So kooky.

I'm getting smaller. Weighed at 176.5 today but I am SMALLER. Woo. Haven't been SMALLER since before Madi was born.

So, I made it nearly 3 weeks

Eating perfectly. And then, gave myself permission to have "a treat" mother's day weekend. Which turned into an all out eat-whatever-you-want weekend. Which, turned into me being sick as a dog with a full-blown cold, complete with phlegm and fever and generally wanting to die. I'll psychoanalyze it later.

Weigh a legitimate 174.5 this morning. Haven't seen that in YEAAAAARS. How is it a girl can run 3 half marathons and never lose a pound?

I'm less stringent with the Advanced plan right now. Just couldn't hack figuring it out while I was sick, although I'm sure ultimately I would have felt better faster. Things I miss = croutons. Regular salad dressing, although I think that's just in my mind. After 3 weeks of NO regular salad dressing, when I tried it a couple times this week, it was kinda gaggy.

Bread...don't miss it. Had a couple slices of frozen pizza the other day. It was disappointing. Same with "Sandwich Thins". I do love me some croutons though.

Today is Two Weeks

Almost talked myself outta my run, but didn't. Did the fast workout, and I'm so glad I did. Wore some capris that I haven't worn in a bit, and they're baggy. Started detoxing 2 days ago w/kit from Trader Joe's. My left tonsil hurts, so something is happening. Haven't been sick since November, when I started doing chiro. Please, oh please, I don't wanna get full on sick right now.

Need.More.Water.

Totally mad that I couldn't eat corn chips last night with Mexican night. Had everything else though, so if I closed my eyes after taking a bite of my 'pile' of burrito, it was nearly the same thing. Tone's brand taco seasoning has wheat flour in it, which sucks. I still used it for the beans though. At 40 cals for 2 tsp, how much of that could really be flour? And if I used HALF that amount for about 2# of beans, how much flour did I really get? It was worth the risk for some yummy beans. :D
