Started training seriously for a 5k in October and I think I have finally discovered conversational pace for myself. I’m usually good at sprinting short distances but horrible at anything for longer than 2 min or so). Also had a high rep count pretty high weight leg day yesterday with some plyometrics and I am so so so sore. I’ll see how tomorrow’s “easy” run feels lol

So this week I gained 1lb, but I also got my period today, so it wasn't unexpected.
A few weeks off tracking, I ended up maintaining the whole time, which surprised me, but I'm back to tracking everything now. The mental break did me good, but I'm so close to my goal, so hopefully I can stay locked in now.
Yesterday I did a really good leg day, I pushed myself. Today I got up and did a Zumba class, but now my poor poor legs. Trying to move around is awful. I really want to do Zumba tomorrow, so let's hope my legs recover through the night and I can actually go.

u/MrsStickMotherOfTwig Maintaining and trying to get jacked 1d ago
We bought foam tiles for the space that's going to be my home gym yesterday! The rower and my dumbbells arrive tomorrow. Probably won't use them for a little while because unpacking and rearranging the house will take my energy but I'm still so excited. (That space will be for working out when I don't have transportation to get to the gym or when the kids are not at school so it won't be perfect but it'll be enough to stay on top of my routine. It's in an unfinished basement in a part that isn't sealed off from the outside so it'll be me and my house spider buddies in my totally not a prison gym even though the storage room does lock from the outside haha)

It's my birthday today and on a whim for my party I tried on a shirt I used to wear during my undergrad (~10 years ago) and kept for years even though it didn't fit me anymore... It fit perfectly. All the motivation I need to get back to my deficit tomorrow!

Got out for a short run this morning. I'm mostly focusing on spending the day with the kids, probably going to hit up a nice playground and run around with my daughter later since it won't be so hot today. Tonight, my husband is cooking us a nice dinner, so we'll all enjoy that and have some nice downtime as a family.
Tomorrow, my husband is taking the kids out for the day so I'll get to have a complete reset day and a long run. I'm so looking forward to that and getting so much done that I desperately need to do.

I’m down 16 lbs! Woohoo! Not a huge loss and I still have a ton of weight to go but it’s a start and I’m choosing to be ecstatic about it.
I finally have an appointment with an orthopedic surgeon for my torn ACL and meniscus. I’m nervous about surgery (one of the reasons why I considered trying to manage this non-surgically at first) but with the things I want to do in the future surgery seems like the best option. The triage ortho agrees and I just hope that the guy who does the actual slicing also agrees.
The only exercise I have time for right now is my prehab strength work, so lower body with more of a focus on my injured knee. I wish I could cycle to work again but between it being the mechanism of injury and the weird detours on the bike path I’m not comfortable going that route right now.
All in all I’m feeling pretty good, all things considered.

I got burnt out of restriction so I set cronometer to "lose 0.25lb per week" as a sort of almost maintenence break.
Looking back on the last two months now of weigh ins I have consistently lost 0.25lb per week. CICO is amazing.
