Athena

So close I can taste it. Of course I am in the middle of using so many scales and so many resources I hope it doesn't screw it up.
As I mentioned a few posts back that I have lost 13 pounds. I have been focusing on lots of menus and recipes on The Whole Living web site. It has been a focus of lots of green vegetables along with some fruits and mostly grains and fish. It has done well by me.
Now most people know I am not one to avoid meats. But I had found that my inconsistent schedule and work travel allows me to get meat into my meals that way. And that seems to be working. Although I have struggled with having a high enough iron level to donate blood recently. But it is not off the charts low. Just too low to donate.
Add to all that the two trips for work and bad food decisions in the midst of of all that. I am still hovering. This morning down a total of 14. But I won't complain considering the past two weeks.
The other aspect added into the mix is we have enrolled in Weight Watchers at work. So now not only do I weigh myself in the mornings right after my shower. My preferred version of weighing. But now I also weigh in at work mid day. Not my favorite approach. Their scale has me at a different place. But I will be OK with that.
So now I have two weeks to concentrate on it all before I head back out for work. My goal is to get within a certain range by race day. Sure hope my concentration holds out.
