Well, I have been keeping my written exercise/diet log but have been slacking keeping up here. I have done fairly well staying away from the junk, but I still am not getting adequate protein. Fortunately, my carbs have been mainly in fruits, vegetables, and high fiber starches.
My weight has remained fairly constant, but I can say that I am feeling less fluffy. I am trying to remember that this needs to be a lifestyle and that the progress will be slow, but I will eventually get there. If I lose control, I may undue several days of hard work.
I am getting bodpod testing done on Friday and am excited, although I know the results will be much higher than my other %fat readings. I think it will give me a very accurate starting place that I can work towards improving (since I am sure that I will have at least 20% bodyfat to lose)

Higher carbs because of run. I can tell that when I have some carbs during my run, I feel much better and enjoy the run.

Ate pizza, but in much more moderation than normal. I was a little grumpy about it, however.

Ate out 2 times today and did fairly well. I had a lot of fat from salmon, steak, and salad dressing, but I stayed away from the rolls (my favorite) and baked potatoes with butter, sour cream.
I am getting my 4 runs in each week, but am struggling to find time/motivation to get in my strength and stretching workouts, which I know are critical. I have been back to school for about a week, but it is going to get much busier next week when kids come back to school and I am worried that I am going to struggle to get my workouts in.
