Still Here

Weight: 59.8
Waist: 75
Exercise: 45 mins weights, 35 mins cardio coach yesterday, 10 km hill run today and 5 km walk

Well - I had psyched myself up to expect a return to the 60's today - but was ecstatic to see I'm still in the 50's - even 100gms down from yesterday.

I've started David Greenwalts Leanness Lifestyle program (well just whilst I read it first to see if it offers anything different to what I am doing already), but the book is 494 pages long and I haven't really got to the guts of it yet. So really all I've changed is the daily calories - I am following his plans for zigzagging them. This has me a little worried as today I have to eat 1578 - (which I wont make -but I'll probably get within 150 cals), and I'm worried about what impact it will have on the scales tomorrow - I sooo want to stay in the fifties. But its the only day in the week that I have to eat so high and the rest are a little lower than what I'm used to. It actually averages out to the same over the week as what I am used to - so I guess the risk is fairly small - and the opportunity for different results higher - Right? Actually I nearly didn't follow it at all as the original calculations only had me eating about 900 cals/day which I think is way too low, but once I added my exercise level in - it boosted up the cals to a level that I'm comfortable with. I'll give you more updates as I work my way through the book.

Hi Lisa, just wondering how your running and nutrition is going?

I am really enjoying my running at the moment.

Are you a member of the SA Road Runners?

Looking forward to an update :)

Hi Lisa,
Just realized exactly how long it's been since I left a comment - sorry! I o follow your posts but it's oh so easy to read it and not comment hey?
You always inspire me to keep chugging along though - I think to myself if she's going so hard, then why can't I????

Love the new bod you're searching for :D and keep up with the running too!
I've just got my groove back this week and I'm sooooo looking forward to a long run (ok that's 8km for me) in the morning.

Happy times :)
