Coach Kirstin

What a week!  Chris left town last Friday and I am definitely ready for him to come back.  I got almost all of my to do list done on Sunday.  Trader Joes, Target, Costco, laundry, cleaning, entire weeks cooking, food measured, reorganize storage closet and clean out filling cabinets.  Only thing missing was starting the taxes, though I suppose collecting all my info is considered starting.  We (puppies and cat) crashed into bed that night exhausted, which is the reason we try and get everything done on Saturdays now.  My weight loss this week has been good so far, starting at 148.2 to 143.4 this morning.  I ran on the treadmill on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday.  Tuesday was spent trying to get Simba to run on the treadmill because he was more interested in chasing my feet.  I even ran in Vibrams last night.  The running has been hard, I really feel no energy to keep going.  But I keep in mind that if I keep this up and burn faste...

I had my first re-feed day on Saturday.  Its about the only thing that kept me going through this, that and milk.  I had it all laid out how I was going to eat my way through the day day.  Well I made it about half way on my planned stops.  Apparently my stomach shrunk a little.  It also had no tolerance for what I was eating.  I started off with 2 bowls of Lucky Charms and a Red Velvet cupcake, and then I went to yoga.  After yoga I had one more bowl and went to Krav.  By that point my stomach was already a little bubbly.  I taught and pretty much every thing ran through me for the rest of the day.  I met Jenn for Matchbox and we had cinnamon rolls and waffles.  I went back and taught the workshop.  I had the full intention of going out and getting a sandwich in the middle but I was still stuffed.  After the workshop I went home and showered and headed to 5 guys.  I was dying for a cheeseburger but I was still stuf...

Last night I took a short 1 mile run on the treadmill at our condo.  It was hard but felt good all at the same time. I finished in 7:35, which I think is my best time yet.  Just strange that I haven't run in almost 6 months and I hop on and do my best time on a low calorie diet no less.  The balls of my feet hurt when I was done but I felt pretty good.  Today the outsides of my calves are a bit sore but otherwise good, I wore my compression socks to bed last night just to be careful.  I think part of it was making sure my neighbor looked like a jackass for trying to run at my same pace and then having to jump off, only to walk later.  I dipped below 148 for the first time, hitting 147.8.  This diet isn't a lot of fun but I'm making it work.  I'm trying extra hard to burn the fat faster so I can come off sooner.  Unfortunately I have to have someone else measure me this week, so I won't really know if the reading is accurate but it will give...
