244 when woke up. (lowest this week so far was 243.5 when I woke up)
It is 8am right now and we have a blizzard moving in – I was up around 6:30 to go to the park but higher winds and deep wind chill temperatures made me decide to hold off. I will run on the treadmill later today (my son T has curling at 9:45 so need to look after my daughter K) – this should let me push harder on the treadmill than I would have outside.
Tomorrow will depend on how much snow we get – forecasts vary but could be over 20cm although I’m not sure if the radar picture supports that. If there isn’t much snow and the winds die down then I will run outside. It is only a 12 mile run so if I have to run on the treadmill it won’t be so bad.
Weight loss almost seems to have slowed down – I think I might be eating a bit too much at supper, my coke drinking could be tapered a bit, instead of taking a few hazel nut chocolates to work I have been taking an equal amount of Halloween candy bars instead (prob more calories and more sugar), been having an occasional extra bag of 20 almonds as a snack. Those are all things that could be a problem – time change has occurred as well which has screwed up my sleep a bit so I am more tired as well. I am still able to motivate myself on the treadmill but I’m not running as intensely and I think that has a direct correlation to being more tired and also to the slow down of the weight loss. (Comment Dec 15 – I think I tracked the issue to not having the hard boiled eggs in the morning – instead I had more almonds – when I switched back to eggs things seem to get back on track again)
Had to skip the Tuesday run this week due to timing with the kids’ swimming, etc but did do the 9 mile on Wednesday and 4 miles on Thursday – neither run was done with a hard drive – just took it easy.
