Halo Top Ice Cream- each pint has less than 450 calories, and it comes in lactose free flavors ❤️

Healthy Choice Simply Steamers- Low calories meals with a lot of protein, a lot of different kinds, and they fill you up!

Palermo’s Pizza- different kinds, usually less than 400 calories, a serving is 1/4-1/3 of the pizza

Lightly salted popcorn- dense with barley any calories, it’s like flavored air

Fiber One 70 calorie bars- my struggle with dieting is not getting enough fiber and these help a lot, they come in a lot of different flavors and taste great!

Distance: 4.49 miles

Time: 30m 58s

Mile Pace: 6m 54s

Runkeeper: Trace

Notes: These short runs feel a bit like half marathons at the moment, they are really taking it out of me. On the positive side I was expecting it, I'm trying to treat each one as a mini battle, sometimes you feel like you've won and sometimes the best you can hope for is an honorable draw.

Today felt hard, but the final pace was far quicker than I thought, so I'm going to claim a moral victory. The pace for the 3rd mile is pretty shocking; it felt tough going but not that quick. Sometimes you just don't know at what pace you're running (or at least I don't/I choose not to know).

It was also time to jump on the dreaded scales and see what my current weight is. It was pretty inevitable that I would have put some additional mass on whilst not running, part of which would be upper body muscle, most of it isn't...

151lbs is the final figure, leaving me with a BMI of around 20. That's about 12lbs above my lightest (when I was really pushing things) and about 5-6lbs above where I would be comfortable with - a weight that feels right when I'm running. No major rush to get back down there, a 3-4lb loss in June would be nice, but we'll just see how things go.
