Weigh-in Day.

Today's weight: 158.6. A loss of 0.2 pounds. Well, I didn't gain, to my surprise. But geez- I really am going to have to get to goal ounces at a time, eh? I know, I'm never satisfied. It's still a loss, which is good. I think I jinxed things by putting the digital camera in the bathroom last night. I thought, "Well, if I happen to make goal by some miracle, I want to have the camera handy." Not quite there yet.

Plan of action for the coming week? Well, eat a bit more I suppose. And I definitely didn't get enough healthy fats this week, compared to the week before, which I think helped my previous loss. I hate trying to get fat in though! I'd rather eat a whole sandwich instead of a handful of almonds, y'know? I hate spending points on things that don't fill me up. Especially since I struggled to stay within 22 daily points this week. Sigh. It's a tricky thing to balance, so I'll just have to plan, plan, plan I guess.

EXERCISE:

Went to the gym this morning for another HIIT session. I'm finding the stair master to be quite the big calorie-burner. I'm probably most conscious of my breathing while on that machine than any other. It's tough, but so far I'm enjoying the challenge!

Today's routine:
-10 min. run (1 mile)
-15 min. incline training
-15 min. stair master
-15 min. elliptical/cool-down

I always tell myself I'm going to stop at 500 calories, but when I get to a good stopping point, I see that I'm a little over 500 and think "Oh hell, just push it to 600!" And some days I'll push it to 700 or 800. I need to cool it, haha. I feel so satisfied with myself afterward though, so it's hard not to push myself to that point, unless I'm totally exhausted for some reason. Wish I had that same motivation with weight training. Buh.


Anywho. Enough of that. It's Friday! Woo!
