Week 2

This week wasn't nearly as fulfilling. I only weighed myself twice because I'm trying wean myself off that, and it's been discouraging. At today's weigh-in I had only dropped one pound for the whole week. After last week's seven-pound drop it seemed like I suddenly stopped doing anything.

I also keep freaking out over my calories. The diet I'm on is 1200/day. It doesn't matter what those 1200 calories are, but I only get 1200. So on Tuesday one of my snacks was M&Ms. One day I ate a boring salsa-salad so I could have a piece of cheesecake. I keep forgetting that if I go over, it's actually fine. I'm still well below the intake point where I wouldn't lose weight.

I love cheesecake.

Didn't walk as much either, partially because of school and work but mostly because I didn't want to. I find walking laps really boring, but this area is rural enough that walking to an actual destination is a long, long walk. On the few days I did walk, I've been trying to go faster- I'm up to 3-3.5 mph, which isn't fast enough for half-marathons but is still faster than I started.

Hopefully next week will go better. My best friend may be getting a dog, so I'd have somebody to walk with me if she does.
