I haven’t been great about checking in lately. I’m still plugging along on my diet, and training is going really well. In fact, I hit PRs in ALL my major lifts this week – while in a deficit! 🙂 My weight loss is consistent – about 1.5 pounds a week. Jeb has started following the same cycling program and lifting program as me, which makes things nice – and makes it easier to stick to my low days when I’m at home! I’m jealous, though – he is SO good with diet consistency.
I’m pleased to announce (or terrified…you pick) that I will be running the Ras na hEirann on March 13 with some people from work.
I’m a little nervous. Not only do I shy away from running if the temperature drops below 30, but this will mark a big change in my work identity. No one at work thinks of me as an athlete -and I’m not…really. But, I train like one. I’ll keep training and hope for the best – not going for any lifelong PRs here (but I’ll probably get an adulthood PR). Honestly, what more can I expect from myself? I am really working on respecting my body enough not to hate on it when it isn’t progressing fast enough. It took 8 years to get me to my “rock bottom” moment, so I can’t expect to get back to where I want to be in 2.
