<~~~Does it look like it snowed at all?
I had a great first week. I had to alter some of my fitness plans, some of them due to laziness and others due to soreness, but I got all of my running in and all of my strength training in, which is what is most important. The cross-training is extremely valuable, but not entirely required.
This was the first week that I've really committed myself to eating a diet that is roughly 80% "clean." One big thing I've noticed? I CRAVE the clean foods, are filled more often, eat a LOT of food, and also need to eat every few hours! All at the same time! It's great!
I've sort of maintained weight-wise, but I'm not worried -- I've only created a 245 calorie deficit. I'm going to continue eating how I'm eating and working out how I'm working out, and if I discover in a few weeks that I'm not cutting any fat, I'll find a way to. I'd like to slim out a little, but 125-126lbs is no biggie to me, it's pretty "perfect." I'd like some muscle definition, and I know that will come with strength training and some body fat cutting, but I'm just going to wing it at this point and see what happens.
I registered for the Half-Marathon today!!!! Can we say EXCITING?!! I've also decided I'm going to start the racing season on March 22nd, in either a 5K or a 10K. Haven't decided yet, but I know I'll break my 10K cherry soon enough!
