I felt back on track today. I had been fretting all morning about whether or not to run outside. Just when I decided to take a chance and run outside, I realized I didn't bring a sweatshirt to run in. I ran on the treadmill instead and it actually went really well. I was able to do the treadmill for the full 30 minutes and stayed at a speed around 5 mph. It was good to get back to normal now that Thanksgiving is over.
I realized after last week that food has more to do with running than I thought. I started reading some articles today and what food you eat makes a difference in performance. I'm going to work hard at finding what works for me the next few weeks, because food definately worked against me last week.
WEIGHT LOSS TIP: Measure with inches as well as weight. One of the things I noticed while I was losing weight was that the loss of weight and inches alternated. I'd lose weight and still be in the same size. Then I'd notice that even though I hadn't lost any weight, I'd be down a dress size. Getting on the scale and not seeing results can be discouraging, so I recommend having a couple different measurements, such as waist, hips, etc.
