Fat burning mode

So over the past couple weeks, it has been super hot and humid here. Which has caused me to not want to run, or do much of anything at all. I did a session of personal training about 2 weeks ago then ran after. I felt like crap for the next few days. My back hurt, then with the heat I got migraines. I felt so lazy! I wanted to do nothing but sleep. I had pizza for the first time since starting my pre op diet 3 moths ago! Best thing ever! Haha.
Well last Friday i weighed myself and was down 1.5lbs, even after having pizza! Then I decided to go out to my parents house. Suggested I run and they ride their bikes at the high school across from their house. We took the dogs, it was great! Saturday I woke up and weighed myself again and was down another 1.5lbs. I couldn't believe it!
I will be honest, I didn't think I ate all that great over the weekend. Yet I weighed in on Tuesday and was down another 2lbs! I'm not sure what changed, but I feel like my metabolism is finally working! My body has gone into some fat burning mode. Although I don't feel like I deserve the weight loss, I am grateful for each pound lost that gets me closer to my goal.

a little late

Its been a couple weeks since i've posted. I've been busy with father's day and my dad's birthday and running, and being addicted to watching/catching up on True Blood. Today is my last day of week 4, and i just can't believe i am just over half way through this program. In 5 short weeks i will be running 3 miles, non stop!
  I have been doing well with my eating. nothing crazy, just focusing on protein. I know being an overweight person clearly i had an addiction to food. Although i can't eat much anymore my body still seems to crave that mindless eating and boredom food. Which for me now is my popsicles. Sugar free, but does not make it ok to use it as my boredom go to food. I have been told that with things like that, which are liquid that they slide down easy so you tend to eat more of it. which is probably my problem. I'm terrible at remembering to drink water at home. Either way, i'm down 40lbs, exercising and staying active and busy. Which i love! I have lost almost 2 pant sizes, and 2 bra sizes! I went last night to get resized for a new bra and was super excited to go down a couple sizes! I've never gone down this much so this is all so new to me and quite exciting!
  I feel very optimistic for the next several months to come. For the first time in a while i look forward to the future and what may come of it. I just pray i keep up this active lifestyle and as i get farther out from surgery that i am able to continue to control my portions and increase activity.
