- I lost 3 pounds total. Progress, but not much.
- I got a sinus infection in early October and a whopper of a cold Halloween weekend (annual occurrence, unfortunately). This threw me off training and into carb eating.
- Turns out I didn't have to skip the October 30th race due to illness because, well, I'm an idiot and hadn't actually signed up for it in the first place. I think I had 45 browser windows open when I attempted to sign up, and I clicked over to something else while it was processing. Apparently, it timed out, and I was too distracted to notice the warning message or the lack of confirmation email. By the time I went to double-check everything for the race, it was full.
I guess I could chalk it up to a massive fail, but some improvement is better than none.
- I got back into running, and my long runs are up to around 4 miles. This is a good fitness base to take me into the winter.
- I was definitely more conscious of my eating during September and October, though I backslid on carb and gluten control.
- I lost 3 pounds! My jeans fit, so I have something to wear this winter. I got rid of two pair of "fat pants," one of which was falling apart and one of which was terribly unflattering. Now all of my jeans fall in the fits-great-to-slightly-snug range. If I want pants to wear this winter, I need to maintain or lower my weight. Great incentive!
- We have started a fabulous new group fitness challenge (see next post) with high stakes, and I've created reasonable achievable goals for myself that are not based on weight. I'm excited to succeed at it!
