slow.

Progress is slow since I started my new job. 

I've lost 2 pounds since my last post, for a total of 62. I've lost those two pounds over the course of probably 30 or so days, which is not great, but is still about an ounce a day.

I've shifted into more of a maintenance cycle for my calorie intake. Instead of 1,500, I've been eating probably 1,800. Which explains the drop off in weight loss.

Still, I'm proud that I haven't had to be so stringent in my application of diet, and have instead allowed myself to eat more things that I would have normally eaten. I just haven't gone off the deep end with eating them.

My 3rd goal (which I never thought I'd get to, remember) is still another 8 pounds away. I think I'm going to say that I hope to achieve that by the end of the year, which is a good goal to have, I think. 44 days, 8 pounds, or a pound every 5 1/2 days. I think I can do that. I'll have to go back to being stringent, but that shouldn't be a problem.

It's been tough to get runs in because of the time change. Most days when I get home from work, it's dark so I don't want to run in the dark. I've been relegated to running on Saturday and Sunday exclusively, cause I don't think I'll be able to run in the mornings.
