2007 Resolutions - Week #4 Results

I lost 0.6 pounds this week.  So far I’m down 9.1 pounds for the year and 25.1 pounds overall.  I worked out every day, and so far haven’t missed a day this year.  I also ran three times this week - a very big deal for me.

I am a little frustrated that I haven’t lost more than 1/2 pound the last couple of weeks.  I continue to focus on eating well and not on counting calories.  The food log I started at the beginning of the year has long faded in memory.  It’s interesting - I LOVE tracking my stats for exercising, but I’d rather bang my head against a nail than track what I ate, and I’m not even counting calories…

For exercising, my cycling took a big hit (only 25 miles), but I took up running and can now run for 1/2 hour.  I think I’ll still run walk some workouts, but it will be in order to interval train.  I still have an outside chance of hitting 300 miles cycling for the month.  I would need 60 miles in the next three days.  That’s my immediate goal.

I also walked three times this week.  This was more about stress relief than hardcore exercise.  Whenever I feel overwelmed, I walk- mainly for mental health, but also for recovery.  I always walk fast enough to sweat and I feel better physically (and mentally) when I walk.  In fact, when I bicycle tour, I notice a huge difference in my next day recovery if I walk in the evening after riding.
