Everything is going well so far. I was ready for the worst when I started specifically counting the calories yesterday. 1,600 calories yesterday and I am on pace for 1,600 today. I ran yesterday and I ran today. Everything going smoothly so far. It is a little scary that it is going well. It's like I'm waiting for the hunger or I'm waiting to be too exhausted to run. I know from experience that it can creep up on me, but it hasn't yet.
I think the best thing I did was to slowly cut down to 1,600 calories. In the past I've done the thing where I've chosen a day to start eating better...and then binged the week prior to starting. Friday, Saturday and Sunday, I just slowly worked down to around 2,000 calories, so Monday wasn't so bad.
Running went well too. I took a week off from running as I had some heel pain last week. It did feel like I had a rock in my shoe but I kept stretching the foot out and it worked well.
I am actually excited about the diet, more now than before. I am certain I can do this now. Before these past few days, I wasn't sure that I had the willpower to do it. Now I know I can. It seems silly to say two days into it that I will do it faithfully for 7 1/2 more weeks, but I know myself. I just needed to start doing it. And now that I have, I know I will do it.
Stay tuned for the fun. Oh, and only 34 more pounds to go!
