    No loss again this week. or this year (yet). Back on track with my logging and realized that I have been lax with my eating habits again. Prepping meal basics today for this week to stay on track.

    Have run 5k 3 times this week and consistently increasing my pace. Also adding upper body/arm workouts on non run days. Need to find an easy after run snack that is not high carb/calorie.

    The scale is now packed away for the move. I expect to weigh in again on Friday March 23rd.
    Hopefully we will have found a home by then.
    My road strategy includes quite a bit of tuna. I need to find some low calorie crunchy snacks for such a long road.
    Whenever we are done driving each day, I hope to get in some yoga and build up energy for some cardio.

    I've been thinking.. why I'm not getting the desired results.??!. And I think secretly I'm happy where I am on weighing scale :grimace:
    because when I was 100kilo (220+ lbs.) I wished to be 80kilo. Now I am under 80kilo (currently 173lbs.) But then again this couldn't be the case... Because I am not happy with what I seen in pictures and mirror. And I still feel that fire burning inside me, which bought me till here.

    I know what to do.... I will follow the diet 100% . (No cheat meals or anything.) I got this clarity while typing this post.

    Hope I will get the results I want soon. :innocent:

    Thank you guys.

    crunchy snack: baby carrots (dipped in hummus? guacamole? salsa?).
    beef jerky is another good road snack.

    Good luck with the move. Hope you get to sightsee a little during the drive!
