Rest Day

247.8
My underpants are starting to diaper, as well as my jeans.
I don't want to try on a smaller pair of jeans until I am at 235, as my waist is shrinking much slower than the rest of me, and I don't want to get discouraged.
I have two pairs hanging in my closet, one size smaller, which I am determined to get into by my October 14 deadline.
My yoga pants are starting to swim, and I think another ten and I'll fit into Old Navy's 1X, as they seem built for apple shaped women.
Eating is going well, the bodymedia makes it convenient to keep track and make sure I keep a daily 1k deficient.
Saturday, I didn't take my walk, as I had too many errands to run, and still managed a decent mileage day, maybe half of what I do with a daily walk.
Sunday, I walked and there was still some soreness, mainly in my calves and knees, but I burned a ton of calories, worked up a great dripping sweat, and felt really good after.
Today, got up and felt so stiff.
My knees especially just ached, and after getting the children off to school, came back home and just wanted to crash for a few.
The few turned into a two hour nap, which considering I only got about four hours sleep the night before, was time well spent.
I know the signs of overtraining, but it just shows how far I've let myself go that a walk could give me the symptoms.
Tomorrow's another day.

251.2 and 386 days to go

251.2
October 11,2012 is the day my Bodymedia has as my weight loss completion date, and that's 386 days to go.
I'm not going to be able to lose two pounds a weak consistently, but it's my BHAG.
It's something to shoot for, a solid finish line, and I need that.
Otherwise, it's just to much to undertake.

So far, I have walked every day since Sunday.
I want to incorporate more running, but the walking itself, not sure if it's because of the hot weather or me having to work up to running, has been draining.
It's a decent enough calorie burn, even walking, burning about 1000 calories, which makes my goal of a 1k a day calorie deficit manageable.
My eating is under control for the most part, and again this is only since Sunday, but I am restricting calories, swapping junk and high calorie food for lower calorie switches, and logging everything that passes my lips.
I really want to incorporate workout dvds, even if it's only short ones to start.
For dinner, I loaded up on iron, with steak, spinach (and seasoned french fries, but got to live a little), and am thinking maybe I need to start eating more protein, as well.
Hopefully, that helps with the tiredness.
