Day 45- Halfway!

So we are halfway through this 90 day fighter diet.

Day 1, I started at 278.8.

Day 45, 278.6.

In short, my lack of consistency has once again killed me. Life got crazy and I knew August would be a whirlwind, but I really wasn't PREPARED. It just all seemed to slip away and now I'm back where I started. I was completely out of balance, irritable, and stressed out when I left for the beach. I needed the break more than I realized and I'm determined to do better.

Maybe if I start practicing now, I'll be better when the next whirlwind hits. I don't know what the right answer is. Do you let yourself go until things settle down and hit it hard again? Or fight to stay on track? Just focus on food? Cut your exercise time? Hmm...I need to find some fit people to pose this question to.

Today was another good day. Veggie eggs for breakfast, BLT wrap and Chocolate Milk for lunch, Healthy Choice Steamer meal for dinner. Plus lots of water!

I did share some homemade bread pudding this afternoon with Ashley, which was better than the huge serving my coworker was trying to give me. I had to flat-out refuse to take any at all before she gave me a small piece to split with Ashley. Crazy how much people push food on you! I ran 7 miles this morning so not worried about what I estimated was a 250- 300 cal reasonable serving of bread pudding. And honestly, it felt really damn good to not have guilt because I failed to exercise will power and had a gigantic serving. 

But yeah 7 miles this morning....slow as molasses and my longest run yet, but I did have a few walk and stretch breaks. Just gotta keep putting the work in, my legs will adjust after a few weeks of consistency. (God that "C" is going to be the death of me!)

I left work by 6, sticking to my not staying late rule, ate dinner, and the headed off to the dog park. Molly enjoyed herself and is currently passed out on the floor. I think she's finally starting to adjust to the new place.

So now I'm getting ready for bed and setting myself up for a good Thursday. I took measurements today so I have something else to compare in 45 days besides weight. The struggle continues......
