New goals to keep losing...

I signed up for the 10 mile run yesterday, so I will be forced to train. I didn't exercise the whole month of June and kept telling myself I needed to get a gym pass because it was tooo hot to run outside at the track. But that didn't happen and after almost 6 weeks I started going again 3x/week. It is pretty hot, but not too bad if I get there early enough.

Last week I made myself a training schedule and yesterday I ran almost 3.5 miles. The first mile is a killer, but then I felt great. Sadly my old MP3 player broke, but I found an AWESOME used Ipod mini for $30. Now I need more music!

My goals this week:
Run 2 miles Mon, 3 miles Wed, 4 miles Sat and do yoga on Friday.

Continue to drink lots of water with my giant bottle. I find that it really helps curb my hunger. I am also continuing to use stevia as much as possible instead of sugar.

No desserts until the weekend (Sat/Sun).

Avoid breads, pastas, rice and starchy foods as much as possible. Although, my friend gave me a recipe for homemade granola that I love and have eaten alot lately. It is sweet and starchy, but since it is good for me I am allowing myself to eat that on days I run.

I think that is it for now, wish me luck!
