Exercise Day 265
Today I did what I would consider a really tough workout, but the numbers don’t really reflect it 
Sometimes that happens.
Running: 3.5 miles in 50 minutes
Uphill 1/3 of the way, flat 1/3 and downhill 1/3
When analyzed in depth, it was about 800 calories burnt! YES!
Exercise Day 264
Yay! Today was a “slow day,” meaning I worked harder/longer than usual yesterday and so today I took it easy. Did I mention it’s like 25°F out? OMG.
Ran: 2.0 miles in 30 minutes.
Solid cardio exercise… definitelty not pushing it, but getting the exercise thing done and avoiding injury/burnout.

Food Days 247-263
Hi Everyone
I know I haven’t been posting my food… I’ve been incredibly busy and just haven’t made time for it. Nonetheless, I have been TRACKING on my own. The last week in particular has been really stellar.
After weigh-in last week (and aren’t I due to make another today? yes) I really got my act together, fell in love with running all over again, and am now here happy and better off.
Food has been at the losing-weight level every day. I’ve run several times, and on those days I compensate for the burnt-off calories by eating more but only as many calories as I’ve burnt off. Yay!
I haven’t been anally recording my exchanges… it was causing me too much overwhelm. I really quite prefer to just count calories. THAT BEING SAID, I have learned heaps and heaps from eating balanced according to Jenny Craig and will never eat like I did before, again. My eyes are open now and I will always eat more balanced I’m just not going to track every little thing because it was driving me crazy.
<3333 Hope you’re well… thanks for following
