I went to the gym today and did some elliptical and ran 4 miles. I am so attached to the treadmill. I soooo do not want to run on the track. I think that I should just run 60 minutes on the treadmill, and stop it and reset it and get back on for the rest of my mileage. I don't know what else to do. I am addicted to the constant feedback the treadmill gives you. How much time has passed, how much time to go, how fast you are running, how many calories you have burned, how far you have run. I NEED that information all the time, where I am in my running so far. I am not going to feel bad that the treadmill is the way I prefer to run. It felt great running 4 miles. I got on, and once I get past the first 10 minutes, it gets easier. My ankles were fine, I wasn't hurting, but I wanted to poop out after 2 miles. Then I told myself that once I got to 2 miles, that would be halfway, and I would probably want to just go ahead and run the whole thing. So I did. I got some sugar free candy today as a treat, and I am hoping it helps me. I have some TMI issues that could really use the effects of malitol, which is in the candy. I had a great time eating the sugar free candy, don't get me wrong, so I am hoping that it works out for me. If I do well tonight, today will be day 6 of doing well with food. I had to weigh in today, because I weighed in on the new scale at the gym, and I weighed 173. I actually weigh a pound less than when I saw my doctor on 11/28/12. So that's good. I can't wait for the 160's. Can't wait. I did someting ambitious - I ordered the very black bikini I have been wanting from Victoria's Secret. Whenever I picture myself in a bikini, I always imagine it's black. So I got exactly what I wanted and it's on it's way. Now I just have to buckle down and lose the weight. I have 3 pairs of size 8 pants to get into, and a couple of pink bikinis and now this black bikini. I don't want to accumulate any more size 8 clothes until I actually get there, but I think it's helpful to have "motivators" in your closet. When I first started dieting, I had a size 12 pair of jeans that I couldn't even button laying in my closet. I finally got in those 12's, and it took a long time. I still have them and wear them sometimes. Just because I'm a size 10 doesn't mean I don't still wear a 12 if it's not falling off of me. Those 12 jeans were very helpful to me. It was interesting to try them on every once in a while. At first I could only button them. Then I could both zip and button them, but my muffin top was out of control. Finally I could get into them and they were the exact right size. That was an incredible feeling, and I want to repeat that with my bikinis and size 8 jeans.
