Ughh… 6 more weeks of winter
Journal, Running February 2nd, 2009Okay, I’m sure all the northerners will now start throwing things at me. But really, I’m tired of being cold. This is why I don’t move out of FL… I don’t like to be cold. I don’t want to be cold. So why is it cold?!!
Anyway, I have some news. From Jan 1 - Feb 1, I lost a total of 7 lbs!! YAY!!!! It could have been more if I had been more diligent some weeks, but I am fine with that! Perhaps by the end of Feb, I will be down in the 180’s. I’m hoping running will get easier as the weight keeps coming off…although I feel that I had some of my better runs at a heavier weight. I don’t know if it’s because I’m not eating the right foods to fuel myself now, or what, but it’s a struggle. Sometimes I wonder if I will ever be able to run more than 2 miles. I’d like too, but I just don’t see it now. But I’m not trying to focus on that… trying to focus on not struggling to run 2 miles.

Running 2 miles is quite an accomplishment! Go, Eryn, Go!
ummmm…you’re right about not getting much sympathy from us Northerners. Can’t WAIT to retire one of these days and move down to Florida for the winters.

Seven pounds is tee-totally AWESOME. I’m so proud of you. And a little jealous.

7 pounds?! Wow, I feel so inadequate now.
My son is going to be 4 in May. He is on the skinny side (everyone is here but me!) but he is tall, so I’m sure your 2 year old would be fine in a jogging stroller. I actually like it except that I have to plan moderately straight routes. He loves being outside and ending my run at a park makes him uber calm the whole time since he knows if he is good we get to play. You should try it!

OMfrigginG. Seven pounds?! WOO HOOO!
And about the running, first of all two miles is an awesome run and much more than the average person can do. And my guess is that the harder runs right now are about the calorie deficit. Running probably goes easier when more of your energy is coming from carbs rather than fat cells. That is my totally uneducated guess, but it sounds good. Right? Regardless, good for you!

Yay. Keep going with the running and I hope you lose another 7 in the next month.
