Finished the Dallas Turkey Trot with a personal best. Felt a little bad that I left my husband behind as I creeped towards the start line. But when I finished the 3 miles in a personal best time of 38 minutes I was very happy.
I got caught up with the running group so by the end of the race I jogged about a total of a mile.
Since then I've struggled for the past few weeks with a plateau. Now plateaus happen especially when losing weight it's how you respond to them that matters most. I initially thought I had been doing pretty good with my calorie and water intake but I was so wrong.
A good friend of mine introduced me to Fitness Pal. It is a great app that helps you track your calorie, water and fitness both cardiovascular and strength. You can also connect with others on a similar journey so that you can mutually support and cheer each other on.
By taking each day and inputting all of my information I was able to see I wasn't eating enough for my body to burn or drinking enough water to keep things moving. Since I started using MyFitness Pal I have been able to get over the hump and lose another 5 pounds. Yeah!
So here is my recommendation for the day and for your journey, download the Myfitness Pal app and start tracking your journey. You will be surprised how your journey can get a jump start.
