R2P4D7- 3.1 loss

R2P2 Highest Loading Weight 165.3
Daily Loss 1.1+2
Current Weight 148.8
LIW 143.5
Over LIW 5.3
Exercise Tracker: 3.6 miles running/walking, little ab work and pushups
 
So down 3.1.  Hard to believe I could gain so much in two days, and then it will take me a week to lose it all.  I lost 1.1 just after going to the bathroom yesterday around 11am...and then another 2 overnight thanks to the steak day.  I was going to do a cheese and apple day today, but all the comments I read (thanks girls!) and guides I consulted said to do a clean eating P3 day today and then another correction day tomorrow...so cheese and apples will be on the agenda for tomorrow.
 
Yesterday, my workout was TOUGH.  It is so hard to run in 100 degree weather.  My muscles were warmed up really fast, but my lungs burned from the heat.  And I tend not to run with water, so I needed to stop three times during my run to grab some from a water fountain.  And today, since Im in the office, and I have to pick up my boys afterwards and wont have time to go to the gym, the plan is to do the same today at lunchtime today (but maybe it'll only be 97 degrees).  Can anyone say glutton for punishment? 
 
I like feeling strong, so thats what its about for me.  A month ago I couldnt run a mile, and now Im starting to like running.  Im not fast, but my body responds well after it is warmed up.  I can sing or talk when Im running, meaning it no longer gets me out of breath.  And the endorphin rush is addictive.  Who would've thought?  Last year, I was in pain when I ran due to neuromas in my feet and IT band syndrome.  And now that the weight is gone(and Ive gotten a better fitting shoe), so are those ailments.   I still have some knee pain when Im running, but I make sure to ice them when Im done, and take breaks if I need to.   And Im hopeful that Ill be making a PR at my tri in 3 weeks (holy crap, is it only 3 weeks away?...better get on my bike and get training!!!!).
 
Happy Hump Day...have a wonderful one!
