Weight Check
Another week, another weigh in. Because of some calf issues, I laid off of running for five days, only returning just yesterday. While I don't think I am fully healed, we are too close to the marathon to stop now. Last week's weigh in (Nov 12) found me at 210.5.I was nervous that my weight might plateau if not running and burning tons of calories. I did, however, go the the gym and meld with the elliptical. I also rodemy bike 15 miles on Sunday afternoon. I decided,too, to do core exercises evry other day instead of three times weekly. Still, I was anxious. So today came the weigh in and lo and behold, I had dropped 2 pounds!New weight (

Weight update: 20.5 pounds lost since July 20
Right before we left for Disney, I reached my first goal weight of 213. I had wanted to reach that number before our trip, and found myself surprised when I stepped on the scale the day before leaving and saw the magic number. I was 1.5 pounds away from that goal in the previous week and was nervous that I wouldn't make it. While at Disney, I ate better than I ever have in those parks. When I could eat a salad and non-meat or non-dairy options I did so. If you are in Animal Kingdom and want a treat, eat at Tusker House. They have a great variety of African and Asian food, including multiple varieties of cous cous, hummus, tofu, and rice. Good stuff!
