Week 2

So this week has been a better week. I lost 1.5 pounds which has been more than I have done in a long time. My goal is to lose small, so this was fantastic results. I have been so frustrated that I have not been losing even though I have been watching what I eat. I started tracking my calories and found that they were way under what they should be, most days not even hitting a thousand. So I decided to up my calorie intake, and make those calories count. I started eating more fruits and veggies, and more protein. Even though 65 % of my calories should come from carbs, I also found that protein is very important to help my body repair itself (which it really needed after my 9 mile run this weekend). The results surprised me, and within 2 days, I had started losing. That was quite motivating. It has also been great getting comments through the week, it has helped keep me so motivated. I know that I am incredibly bad at commenting on other peoples blogs, and I am going to try to be better with that. Anyway, hopefully things will continue to go so well, and I hope that everyone else is seeing success as well. (And yes mom I know that this is completely corny and out of character for me)
