I kinda cheated on my diet yesterday. Ate almost 2300 calories instead of the 1700 I've been focusing on. I lost those 3lbs again. Back down to 199. I know it's all water weight. Little bit of a mind fuck really.
I did some poking around online yesterday and have reason to believe I have PCOS. Found some supplements that are suggested to help, so I'm going out today to buy them. We'll see if that helps with the weight loss.

Sore sore sore!
12min, 1.12mi, 120cal +weights
I don't know if it's from the run yesterday or if all of my gym time is catching up with me. Or that I fell off the merry-go-round playing with my kids last weekend and bruised my legs pretty bad. Whatever, my calves were screaming at me. I thought once I got warmed up it would go away and I'd be ok. It didn't and I wasn't. I then punished my arms for my legs' weakness!
I'm getting a little discouraged. I have gone back up to 202. I've been here almost a week, I just didn't want to admit it. Hoping it was water weight and I could flush it out by drinking a ton. My muscles could be retaining water as they try to heal and rebuild. I had planned on going for another short run tomorrow, I really enjoyed yesterday, but I think my body needs the rest. I'm also not going to limit my eating today. I've been very hungry lately and denying myself so I can reclaim those 3 pounds but it doesn't seem to be working. I am hungry and I need to listen to my body. I will still write down what I eat and the calories, but I am going to eat when hungry!
Good news is I have a tracking number for my HRM!!!! It's being sent by USPS from NY to here, left the facility early this morning. Should be here Friday or Saturday. At first I didn't like that they sent it USPS, but then I remembered they have Saturday delivery! HAPPY HAPPY JOY JOY!!
Trying to keep my chin up. :)

Heart Rate Monitor
I'm getting this on Friday:
FT7 Training Computer - Fitness & Cross-Training - Get Active - Heart Rate Monitors - Polar Electro - USA
60min, 2.76mi, 799cal +weights
I did the same workout as yesterday but on a different machine. Although I did have to stop a couple of time today to correct my son. Yesterday was non-stop. He's such a little booger!

Have to work harder
60min, 2.77mi, 805cal
I'm having to work harder to burn the same amount of calories. Well it seems harder! I've added some one min 'sprints' 3 times into today's workout. Maybe next week I'll do 2 min. By sprints I mean I'm lightly jogging at 3.5mph instead of walking. Ok here's what I did today:
Started with getting the incline up to 15%.
0-5 2.5mph
5-10 2.6
10-15 2.7
15-20 2.8
20-25 2.9
25-26 3.5
26-30 3.0
30-31 3.5
31-35 3.0
35-36 3.5
36-40 2.9
40-45 2.8
45-50 2.7
50-55 2.6
55-58 2.5
58-60 0% incline 2.5mph
I'll try to keep up with that for a week and go from there.

Totals for September
758min (12hrs, 38min) 31.59mi 8902cal
That's a LOT of calories!!! I also lost 7lbs during the month. YAY!!!
I was 2 min away from my goal. TWO little min! Oh well, I'll hit it next month. I really need to try harder when I go to visit my parents. They have an elliptical, I just don't use it. And when we went camping Labor Day weekend, it would have been soooo pretty to go jogging outside.

New Month!
Yesterday:
65min, 2.85mi, 816cal +weights
I really wanted to get to 800 again. I kept going til I did, then I did a few min cool down.
Today:
42min, 1..93mi, 572cal
I was going pretty well. On my way to 800 again. Until my son pooped in his pants. And not just a solid turd, but was a bit diarrhea-ish. I took his clothes off and put them into a clean garbage, tied it up. Took him to the shower and hosed him off, while he was screaming! Dried him off with paper towels. Then wrapped him in his sister's jacket to get back to the car. It was quite the ordeal. I'm still trying to get the smell out of the clothes. They've been washed 3 times! That's the last time he gets yogurt and apple juice for breakfast!!
