The Week That Was: Weight Management & Running

Diet fatigue is hitting me hard now. Knowing that I have a few vacations coming up that will make it hard to stick to a calorie budget certainly doesn't help either. I try to convince myself that if I made a hard push now I could make my goal beforehand, but regardless, I'd probably have some work to do after to get back to the goal.

Starting off with Weight Management, I burned even less calories than last week (1519) but ended the week 204 calorie below budget, so this week I didn't eat back more than I burned. If you add that deficit to my expected ½ pound a week loss, you'd expect that I'd lose 0.6 pounds. Here's my actual results:

	Avg	Min	Max	Last	Avg H20	Avg Fat
04/01-04/08	172.5	170.6	173.6	173.2	97.7	38.6
04/08-04/15	172.4	171.4	173.4	172.8	97.7	38.4
	-0.1	+0.8	-0.2	-0.4	0.0	-0.2

Well, I didn't hit expectations, but at least, my weight was down (ok, yeah, not by much). Results like these are fueling the fatigue. I'm trying to be positive, but it's hard.

Moving onto running, I had planned to get back into things, but work got in the way early in the week, and late into the week, I convinced myself to do the Sacramento Zoo Zoom instead. Since I set a new PR, I'm glad I did, but I need to get back into training this week. Here's my mileage for the week:

M	T	W	R	F	S	S
						6.24
Total Mileage: 6.24

This is the most I've fallen short of my weekly mileage goal this year:

Miles Ran Short of Goal 16 Mile Goal Miles to Max

And here's a look at my progress towards my goal of 800 miles ran this year:

Previous This Week 800 Miles 1000 Miles

I've completed 264.02 miles so far this year and am on track to complete 927 miles in 2013. My legs feel a bit sore from the Zoo Zoom, but hopefully light training will not be too much for them.
