I beat Monday

Tuesday, in spite of having an Oreo-covered Voodoo Donut with lunch, and gelato for dinner, I stayed under my calorie count for the day, and woke up this morning the same weight as yesterday, 188.5. Maybe the 2 hour walk helped. And my 30-day trend dropped below 190, to 189.65. As I said before, when it stays below 190 for a week, I'm celebrating with dinner at Macaroni Grill. This coming weekend will be the acid test.

And this morning I was up early for a run. I ran the same 3.65 mile loop I ran on Monday, although in the opposite direction. And I was determined to run it faster. I didn't stop at any of the water fountains along the route, and only braked to a stop twice, very briefly, to avoid being hit by traffic. And I did it! I finished in 37:33, over a minute faster than Monday's time, for an average pace of 10:13 per mile. So in a very real and measurable way, in both weight and exercise, I beat Monday.
