Crap!  I gained back all the weight I lost the past 2 weeks while I was in NJ.  A wedding, a birthday party, cheese steaks, Filipino food and NO running at all.   

I know that 1.6 lbs doesn’t sound like much, I worked pretty hard to lose those. The 5 lbs I’m trying to lose is 3.6% of my total body weight.

So, now I need to lose 1.7 lbs a week for the next 3 weeks.

Time to get serious.

On my non-run days (T/Th/Sat/Sun), I plan to do some serious calorie cutting.  The same breakfast (boiled egg, slice of bacon, slice of toasted raisin bread, 6 oz juice), the same lunch (lean ham and cheese on pita bread with light mayo, and carrots/celery/snap peas on munch on, and then an uber sensible dinner (tomato soup and grilled cheese or a burger with no/half bun and salad).  One snack of a piece of fruit and one ounce of cheese.

These days I need to do some pilates or T-Tapp or strength training.

I did run today – a 50 minute tempo run without the gauge of my Nike+ iPod (dead battery).  I ran for 50 minutes without stopping or slowing to a walk.
