Back on track and ready to rule this week. Down -1.6 at Saturday's weigh-in. Which means the 1.4 of last week is now history, plus a little more. (*SLAP* That's me high fiving myself in the corner). It was a struggle. One bad day and my weeklies were gone. Luckily, it was Wednesday and I managed to survive. I think it did derail what would have been a larger loss week, but I am certainly not complaining.
I started training for the Disney Princess Half marathon this week. The half is on February 25th. I figured I'd have a better shot at not getting sick this time and have better training. So far, my cell memory is working and running is not a completely unfamiliar thing to me. This week has been easy and my first two mile run, though slow, was completed running the entire time. I was surprised at how quickly my stamina has returned after spending the better part of the summer walking only.
One thing I have discovered is that it's time for new running shoes. I have been back and forth between Brooks and Asics. I ran the last 10K in Asics and the half last April in Brooks. It seems my running style has changed because my old stand-bys (Brooks Dyads) showed that I was running too far on the outer rim of the foot.
Luckily, the fabulous guys at Fleet Feet scanned my feet and hooked up me with the all-new Levitate. I've not taken the first run in them, as running days are Tuesday/Thursday/Saturday, but I'm looking forward to how they will feel and hope they will be exactly what I need. It's hard finding a good running shoe. Searching for the perfect fit can sometimes make you feel like Goldilocks.

The training is making me super hungry, though. And that has been my problem with keeping my eating on track the last week or so. I changed my breakfast from a protein shake and a fiber one bar to a lite English muffin with one egg and 1/4 cup of egg whites and cheddar. That has helped but by the afternoon, I don't feel like I'm getting enough food. Apples and fruit cups, weight watchers snacks. Nothing seems to help. I've started with a second protein shake (The Premier Shakes have 30g of protein and are 2 SP) between 4 and 5.
I've asked in my WW meeting and on the Connect app, but I haven't gotten a lot of response about eating my fit points other than to not do it because it will stop by weight loss. So for now, I'm hungry and adding as much protein as I can. If anyone has suggestions, I'd love to hear them.
