Week 22 was my strongest week, yet. I felt so strong all week, physically and mentally. My meals went really well and my running was excellent, better then ever! All my ailments were mostly in control, well at least tolerable.

I was excited and looking forward to weighing myself yesterday, (I totally set myself up). I really expected to see a better result. I know, I should be grateful for the 1/2 LB loss but I was just expecting more! It's a bummer that I set myself up for to expect more (Why do I do that), it's so hard to not do that even though, I know better. I'm probably more irritated at that, then anything else.

The good thing is, I took my moment and processed it, I let myself be bummed, irritated, frustrated and I let it go, something that I probably would have let sabotage my progress, in the past.

Coach increased my distance on Thursday's and said I should increase it on Sunday's, as well. My first thought is always that he's lost his marbles and that there's no way that I can do it. Low and behold, I was able to do it, it wasn't horrible either(sshhh! don't tell him that). It amazes me that he's always spot on and knows when I'm ready for more!

I still can't believe that I ran 4.5 miles yesterday, 4.5 (who would have ever thought I'd be running 4.5 miles, well for that matter running at all!). I was wiped out all day yesterday but that always happens the first time I increase my distance. Mostly, I can't believe that I felt so good while I was running.

After thinking about why I didn't loose more, I don't think I ate enough. I increased my work outs and kept my meals roughly the same. I keep thinking about Bob from TBL, last week one of his teams wasn't losing weight and he thought it was that. If I don't fuel my body enough, it will not work the way it's suppose to.

This week, I'll have to really keep track of my calories to see if that's the problem.

I made good choices with what I choose to eat and I certainly did a good job with my running, I know that it will come off, I just need to stay on course!

All is well!
