Well, my friends, we are back to Wednesday already!
This past week seemed incredibly crazy busy & I will admit the thoughts of going back to school soon for my girls is looming over my head.
I am so not ready for school yet!
Over the weekend, I finally sat down & drafted up my marathon training schedule. Honestly, up until this point I have been making it up as I go, even missing a few of my long runs on the weekend.
That stops now. I’m in it; my schedule is in my head, heart & my planner & I have every intention of showing up every dang day for it.
Nutrition is going to be huge from here on. My mileage is quickly increasing & fueling my body properly is going to become my number one!
This week I was not perfect. I had a few small indulgences. I also am realizing how much I need to get back to tracking my food so that is my goal this week!
Although there is always room for improvement, I can see from my pictures that changes are happening in the right direction. The scale tells a slightly different story being up 0.2 from last week but this is why I do not allow the scale to be my only source of feedback. Besides that, experiencing weight loss while marathon training is SUPER DIFFICULT! I know my body will change, I will lose inches, but the scale might not show progress. That is completely okay with me as I do not allow a number on a scale to have power over me like I once did.
So…I’ll let the pictures speak for my progress
*Please note as I could not find my swimsuit bottoms last week, these pictures are taken on 7/21 & again this morning. In the future they will be taken weekly this way (unless my bottoms disappear again!!!).
Are YOU ready to join me yet? I am looking for women to CRUSH August with me!
Until Next Time~
