Sarah's weigh-in - 2/13/09

130.5
Still losing - I worked a lot more and didn't eat as well this week, so understandable.
Teresa, for intervals I was usually walking for a couple minutes, and then I would punch it up to 6.5 for 2 to 2.5 minutes, and either jog or rest for a minute and then go up to 7.0 for 1.5 minutes, rest or jog for a minute, then 7.5 for 1 minute, then rest/jog for a minute to 1.5 minutes, the go back down to 7.0 for a 1.5 minutes, rest, 6.5 for 2 minutes, rest, 7.0 for 1.5 minutes, and so forth for between 2 and 3 miles usually. Last week I had added 8.0 for 30-45 seconds for a sprint and I think that was too much for my knee too soon.
It definitely pushed me a lot harder than my 2 mile jogs.
Only yogurt for breakfast yesterday - it's harder to eat well when I'm not in the office with access to a fridge and Whole Foods, etc.
Lunch was cream of broccoli soup with some croutons and a half turkey wrap with honey mustard and provolone. The soup wasn't that creamy, but I shouldn't have eaten the croutons. I also split some chips with my boss.
Snack was some summer squash I had sauteed the night before, and then dinner was just some chicken soup. I didn't like it that much so I only had about a cup. And then tea.
I iced my knee again last night and I think that's definitely helping.
My Saturday class has been cancelled for the next two weeks which totally sucks, but I'm going to go in the afternoon after working I think.
Jake, I remember when I quit smoking, between that, not working out at all, and busy season at work with lots of snacky foods, I did gain weight, but I really think if you're still working out and eating well, you shouldn't have a problem. You'll also feel a difference in your workouts because you'll be able to do more. I know you can do it!
Aileen - have a great time!
