Back on track

Today I decided would be a good day for me to get "back on track".  I have been eating well (for the most part) for the past 10 days.  I have not had dinner out and have been preparing meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner) with recipes found on Spark People Recipe website.  I have been counting calories.  I decided to return back to this blog because last year at this time I was at a lower weight (by 3 lbs) and I was actually keeping fit. 

So, I plan on going back in time to 2009 and see what I was doing "right" and find out why I feel a little pudgy and not fit and trim like last summer. 

I ran 4 miles this morning and it was a beautiful morning  We ran down at a place called "Clam Pass" in Naples, Florida. It had this really cool boardwalk that is pretty new and was made from recycled milk cartons--really cushiony run.  We ran at 8:30AM, ran on the beach and actually made a circle and ran back to our car.   I need this practice running on the beach since my next 5k is the Beach bum 5k, which is held on the beach.  Beach running is tougher on the knees and ankles than running on a flat road.

Tomorrow is meal planning like last year.  I think why I haven't been doing so well is that my portions are not the same as the ones posted on the Spark Recipe website.  Hubby is back from Rhode Island and wants to lose weight too.
