July Numbers

Just a few items of interest (well, of interest to me at least!) about this month:


• My weight is still coming down. Last month, the lightest I weighed was 159. This month, that number was 153.5! OK, OK, so I weighed myself after a 56 mile bike ride and a 20 min. brick run after, but still! My average weight this month seems to be right around 156, which is 3lbs lighter than last month. Again, my diet plan was not designed to lose weight, but according to Eric, this is all very normal with the new “cleaner” diet and the increased work load.

Weight chart (again) from approximately the time I started my new diet (Beginning of May) through July:

• I started to mix that nasty Colon Pure (probably another BIG reason for the reduction in weight!) with orange juice. I just couldn’t handle it in water anymore and Eric suggested that he mixed his with Crystal Light. Since we have OJ in the fridge for the kiddos, I figured that I’d give it a shot. SOOOOO much better! I can actually drink it without having to hold my nose or my breath. I can’t taste the psyllium seed husk at all. It’s still a bit grainy, but I’ll take that any day!

• My 96.33 miles of running this month would have been good enough for 2nd all time in 2010. It’s only a mere 8.57 miles less than the 104.9 I did in October of that season.
