Ran a whole mile without stopping!
Last night I did my 2.5 mile run on the treadmill and I ran the whole first mile without stopping. That's a major accomplishment for me. I was pretty slow at a little less than 15 minutes a mile but I'm not convinced that the treadmill is accurate distance-wise. I found a website that gives instructions for testing treadmill accuracy so I'm probably going to check it tonight and figure out how far I'm really going. In other news, we've officially booked our summer vacation. We're going on a cruise to Mexico during the week of the 4th of July. That means I really need to step up my diet and exercise since I'm going to be running around in a swimsuit for a week. As far as diet goes, I think I'm going to go with 1600 on my low calorie days and 1900 on my high calorie days. When I did the math based on my bodyweight, I came up with 1827 for the low-cal days and 2150 for the high-cal days but I'm thinking that's too much. I didn't lose anything the week I did that and I think I actually gained a pound. I'll see how I do this week and go from there.
Here's my log for yesterday:
B: 1/2 c. oatmeal, 3/4 c. soymilk, 1/2 c. blueberries, 1 egg 305 calories
L: Tofu & Veggie stir-fry with rice 389 calories
S: 17 soy crisps, carrot sticks, banana 265 calories
D: shrimp taco made with 4 oz. shrimp, onions, garlic, olive oil, avocado & WW tortilla, 1 c. broccoli 325 calories
S: 1 c. LF ice cream, 1/4 c. cool whip
Total: 1545 calories

Kristy, that's awesome! That first mile is a massive accomplishment. After that it'll just get easier, to a point where you'll actually enjoy it. Keep on going. And I'm impressed with your food intake: that takes a lot of initiative.
