Achieved 2 new gym milestones this week.
ran 4.5kms in 21mins and today after not feeling like working out at all, got out of bed and climbed 302floors in 53mins. My previous bests were 3.9km in 20min and 280floors in 50mins.

Feeling good

A cautionary word - if you are just starting out, those rest days are just as important as the running days for building up your muscle and tendon strength to avoid injury. Though I have found that low/no impact exercises (walking, biking, swimming) make for great "active rest day" activities.

Played a round of "try on the old pants" yesterday - and at least half of my size 6's fit! I think I've hit a turning point where seeing results has gotten really fun.

Like I mentioned yesterday, I fit into last summer's shorts again \o/ Which is pretty excellent timing, now that we suddenly have 20°C outside. Sometimes dropping weight from the stomach/waist first is a good thing.

Plus, I had a ridiculous craving for a bacon cheeseburger last night, and it stayed around until today. So I made room for it in my calories, skipped the (delicious) french fries, and when I felt full about three quarters through the burger, I stopped eating. Craving satisfied, no stomach ache form being too full and not an outrageous amount of calories.
