Finished my second Parkrun today, and slashed about 4 minutes off my PB. Granted, it wasn't great to begin with (because... running, ugh!), but 4 minutes is impressive. While I'm no fan of running, I do need more cardio in my workout regimen, so I'm hoping to fit in a 5km run once a week (whether a Parkrun or on the treadmill). We'll see how well that goes 😂.
I did an unofficial weigh in yesterday to check progress, and I'm pretty much back where I was at the beginning of the month. After last week's shark week increase, that is a relief. Also, while it probably means I won't lose anything this month, it also means I haven't gained anything. With my increased carb intake this month, this is a good thing! It means I can carefully add more carb-heavy foods to my diet without worrying about fat gain. By carbs, I mainly mean beans, legumes, sweet potatoes, and extra fruits, and bread once a month (literally). Still no pasta or rice.
I'll continue to monitor my progress weekly next month, until I'm happy that there are no significant spikes. Still hoping to get down to a size 36 (jeans) by the end of March, but it's going to mean a lot of hard work, because it feels like there hasn't been much change this month 😔.
Anyway, have a fabulous weekend everyone!
