Progress

My training is paying off!  I'm proud to say that I did my 2 mile run today in 19:46!!  That means that I was running a less than 10 minute mile!  I can't believe I pulled that off without Raquel there.  Usually, she's the one urging me along (okay, we're encouraging each other, but she's pushed me faster than I've gone without her), so it seemed like an especially big victory.

I've also lost a total of 7 pounds now!  Thursdays are my weigh in days, since Friday is my exercise rest day.  I'm down another pound and a half from last week, and my measurements are going down a bit, too.  Good stuff. 

I'm proud of the work that I've been doing, but I'm even more excited that with knowing the calorie count of what I'm eating, I've been able to feel good about making good choices.  I'm not miserable or hungry or feeling deprived.  Just feeling empowered and knowledgeable.  It's a good place to be!
