Alright well last night's run wasn't stellar (due to time constraints). I took a 45 minute Pilates class and then went up on the track to run, but I only had a half hour instead of the 36 minutes that the full run requires. I only made it through everything but the last 3 minutes of the final 5m run, in order to have a brief cool down before leaving for my WW meeting. That being said, I think it's going to be more difficult for sure, but definitely do-able. I've found that I run at a markedly slower pace (at least it feels like it) than my 6.0 pace on the treadmill, but it's something I can maintain for the full run time without changing, so I think that's better in the long run.
As for the WW mtg, I was pleasantly surprised:
Weekly weigh-in: 171.0
Loss: +.2
Total loss: 22.6
Emotion: Optimistic
I didn't have a great weekend food-wise, so I was relieved to only be up +.2 this week. I caved in to a craving of chicken tenders and fries Saturday night after dancing with friends, but stayed within my weekly/activity point allowances for the week. Though, I still feel like I've done crummy when I go over like that since I then know why I'll have gained if I do. Oh well, it happens.
Today, I'm hoping to make it to Spinning (barring heavy snow since today I have the car whose windshield wipers are broken). My knee kind of hurts from yesterday's run, so I probably won't re-attempt it again until tomorrow so as to not overdo it. Also, since I'm going to be home all day, I think I'll look into how to make a crock-pot beef stew... Seems like a good day for it!
Well, sorry for the short post, but homework calls. More later!

Hope you had a great weekend!
I need an update here!! On gaining 0.2 pounds, don't sweat it. A lady might not admit it, but I will: twenty seconds more throne time would have shown one *losing* 0.2 pounds! :)
You seem like a really good person - and you are so smart to fight this battle while you are young and haven't suffered long-term consequences.
Keep fighting the good fight!
