This time a few weeks ago, half an hour of running earned me 400 cals. Now I'm a bit lighter and faster, Runkeeper told me it was only 360 this morning and yesterday. Obviously lighter and faster is better. I'd much rather be those. But I can't help regretting losing those extra calories earned. Still, it's yet another sign that my body is becoming a stronger, more efficient machine.
Mind you, another side effect of losing eight stone is that I definitely feel the cold more. I'm wearing two fleeces in work some days, as well as two pairs of socks. I think my thermostat just needs to reset itself, and it will happen naturally. In the meantime though, I'm foundered!
I weighed 149 again this morning. Even if it's a false low, coz I'd just exercised, at least it's going in the right direction. After my run, I had some scrambled eggs for breakfast. I'm determined to eat well. I'm going to get plenty of proper nutrition, not save too many calories for fluff like fat free yoghurt or sugar free sweets. I'll still eat some, but I'm going to concentrate on good protein more. For tea yesterday, I had a quorn based meal. TMM was working so it was the perfect time to get out the veggie option. As much as TMM has no problem going meat free, he's not a fan of quorn. Today, I think I'll have fish.
I'm enjoying my Facebook group a lot at the moment. There's loads of positivity bouncing about, despite a lot of us gaining a few pounds over Christmas. We're facing up to it and making inroads in the extra pounds. It's so encouraging to talk to others in the same situation. My next stop will be to get together with Penfold and Smiley. We can have coffee and strategize out next steps in our weight loss plans.
