Trying Again.

Ok I didn't post a Fitness Friday post last week because I didn't want to focus on the depressing results last week. Last week I "gained" 5 lbs. Seriously. The week before I lost 2 lbs. This week I lost 2 lbs. So I'm still up. I feel like I'm not really losing anything and that these are just my body's natural fluctuations. The problem is I'm not sticking with a good eating plan all the time. So I'm going to do all those things, I said I would do before. I'm measuring myself (today). I'm sticking with a good eating plan for a month (hopefully longer). If I don't see results, I will see a nutritionist to help tweak my diet.

I did pretty well fitness wise this week. I felt a little tired early this week when everyone in the house had the stomach flu. I seem to have escaped without actually getting it. I took it easy those days. I did my step for 50 minutes Monday, took Tuesday off and did the elliptical machine for 45 minutes on Wednesday. Sunday I jogged 4.68 miles by myself on the linear trail. Thursday I jogged 3.43 miles with Davey in the stroller. Amazing how much harder it is to jog with him even on flat surfaces. I jog almost a minute slower with him in tow. I know this because I used the RunKeeper app for my phone. I love this app. It gives me my current pace, overall pace, and distance as I run. It definitely encourages me to run faster. I was a little surprised at my pace. I thought I was a little faster than I am. But not for long, I am definitely going to push myself with this new tool.
