Progress

Dropped another 1.6 pounds this week.  I actually thought it would have been more, but a loss is a loss and I'll take it.  Once again I was able to progress with the weight training this week.  

So I did attempt my fastest mile yesterday.  Again I thought I would have done better, but I did crush my 7 minute goal that I set back on Father's Day.  I was able to maintain a 10mph pace for 4 minutes.   Then I wasn't expecting my mind to persuade me that I couldn't break 6 minutes.   I ended up walking for a minute and then an all out sprint to finish the mile in 6:30.   I forgot just how much your mind has to be locked and set for breakthrough to happen, where falling short is not an option.   I have six more weeks to train my mind and body to break through a 6 minute mile.  It's not an option.  

That was yesterday's treat meal.  Eggplant parmigiana, a meatball, spaghetti and a Greek salad.   Delicious.  The hardest part was not going back for seconds and thirds.  

These last 6 weeks is where the fit2fat2fit program really kicks it in overdrive.  The workouts are intense and range from 40-60 minutes each.  I actually enjoy pushing myself in the workouts.  It's the weekends that scare me.  By the time Saturday comes, my body is exhausted from the intense workouts and working a full time job.  With that amount of stress it can be easy to reward myself with treat meals and splurges.  That's where I must rely on God's grace for help.  He's always faithful.  Always.
