Despite neglecting this blog like I do with all things writing-related, things are going alright! I haven't lost much weight to note at this point, but the scale has been moving in a general downward direction. The past two weeks have been full of good workouts and I'm feeling energized and happy about it. I know I'll hit a slump at some point. They always come! My biggest fear at the moment is the short vacation we are taking mid-March. I have a tendency to come back from vacations and blow off my workouts. Even a few days away can knock me out of a routine.
In terms of tracking workouts, I do a number of things. I used to use Myfitnesspal to track, but now I only use that for food tracking purposes and general inspiration. I use Map My Run to keep track of runs, although this weekend the app told me I ran a 19 minute 5k, which means that sh-t is broken. Even at my fastest, that just would not happen.
I also keep a Google spreadsheet just to keep me honest. I include workouts, food info, and any general thoughts on how I'm feeling. I'm hoping this helps me to see patterns over time. Here is February's worksheet.
I will make March a different color because I'm craaazy like that.
