Gained 1.5 pounds. What? Gah.

Going to the gym later, and then working out my challenges/goals for the month of February. I need some results.

So Day 5 was a rest day. I can already tell you I am going to love and cherish these biweekly rest days. 

However, the pitfall of my rest day yesterday was that I ended up have an entire CHEAT DAY. While I am semi-disappointed, I had been eating well the whole week up until then, and needed to relax a little so I consider it OK.

Because of this, I’ve decided to allow myself one free day per week, if needed. For example, on February 4th, I’m having my birthday party, so I will allow myself to cheat. The next week, the 8th, is my birthday, so that will be a free day as well. But, I don’t want to make it a habit (as in, I will have one free/cheat day per week); if there is a special occasion in a certain week, I will allow myself to have that day free. 

Anyway, I promised myself I would eat extra well today and tomorrow because Monday is my weigh-in. And I’m happy to say today, I have done. I also had a great run today, it felt easier, but I am having a little pain in my inner calves. I’m going to have to do some research on this pain.

Tomorrow is my long run, and I’m looking forward to the challenge. :)
