Exercise - long run - 100mins (running intervals of 10 mins/3mins) Ave HR - 137

I guess I should have started posting my weight earlier so that you could have shared my joy at finally seeing the scales move in the right direction! Now before you panic too much about the calories - I actually ate over 1000 but because I used over 700 in exercise - Calorie King has adjusted the totals. Cant seem to work out a way of including my exercise and not having a report of the net cals. If anyone knows a way - let me know.

Long run on the treadmill yesterday- I planned to run outside but my garmin was dead - which meant I wouldn't be able to track my speed/distance etc - so resorted to the tready - and watched a movie at the same time!. I think I finally have my running legs back again - after a long lay - off with hamstring injuries. Ran 12 kms last weekend, and again this weekend, with no lasting effects, but I have been using run/walk intervals to ease me back into distances. Last week 6 mins/3 mins, this week 10 mins/3 mins and I found it relatively easy - so on the last 10 mins I kept going and ran a straight 20 mins. The next race I want to run is an 11km in a couple of weeks - I should be fine - will drop the intervals to 10:1 next time and I think I will feel ok. I have discovered however that what is causing me grief on the distance runs is not the HR, its not leg tiredness - I get bored! So this time I used running pyramids in my 10 min blocks to keep me on my toes - upping the speed by 0.5km/hr every min to the 5 min mark, then dropping it back down again the same way. Well - what can I say - it helped to pass the time!

Its good to see the weight drop today, but I should point out that I know my body has been changing regardless of the lack of change on the scales. Over the last 6 weeks my waist measurement has dropped 7cm, and is back to size it was when I was at goal weight - which was 6 kgs lighter! My thighs still remain stubbornly the same, but if my weight hasn't changed much, and my waist measurement is shrinking - and I'm fitting back into my goal weight clothes, I must have been gaining muscle I guess. Or at least I'm reducing abdominal bloat through good eating - eitherway , things are improving and my body is changing shape.
