Still going down!

so I've had ups and downs since Christmas, but I think I"m still on the downward trend. As of today I'm 30 down from last Jan. I'm trying Josh's idea of doing weights to work on the core stuff to replace part of my running time each week. I try to run 3 times but lately I've been only managing 2 and sometimes 1.

You'd think knowing my brother is in th hospital eating only ice chips would motivate me to eat less, but on the contrary I used it as an excuse to indulge. sigh. But overall I" doing well and am back on track.

I'm trying to flip my diet. They say you're supposed to eat a big breakfast and small dinner. I've always thought I could never do it. But I have noticed that on days when I starve myself early I'm so anxious to eat that I overeat. On days where I keep up the food intake I'm not madly craving food. So now I aim for this program: 500 cal for break, 400 for lunch, 300 for dinner and 100 snack at night. Some days it's been hard but other days I found I was surprisingly unhungry.

Here's cals:
1/14- 1250, 1456, splurge, 1490, 1375, 1390, 1358? a so-so week
1/21-1285, travel day-def went over, then at my parents; I didn't keep my numbers but I know I was in close range for some of the days and not for others 3 good day and 2 bad?
1/28-1430, 1335,1790splrg, 1680!!, SuperBowl didn't count was very bad!!, more than 1360, 1315 back on the horse
2/4- 1260

Actually I can't believe I' doing so well for all the over calories I'm doing. But I guess that's because I haven't made that much progress in thelast month. Instead of dropping 3-5 pounds I've essentially maintained.

Catching up

12/4- 1611, 1217, 1197, 1213

I had decided for three weeks to go down to 1200 cals a day and stuck with it for a little while and then kind of lost it the week before xmas

12/29- 1300?, 1300?, ?, ?, ?, ?, 1147- this week I kept counting for breakfast and lunch but then not following through the rest of the night, New Year's splurge etc

I fluctuated a little at Christmas time but I am still overall down 13 lbs since getting serious in October (which is 29 lbs since last January!). My goal is another 10 lbs by March or April.
