Back on track!
According to the 8 days of data I have so far, I've lost 1.2 pounds since I've been tracking my weight and my calorie deficit is 525. It's a lot less than the 1000 I was shooting for (I really wanted to lose two pounds a week) but not bad. Better than maintaining and much better than gaining. I really don't think I can cut my calorie goal much more without really depriving myself since I'm already working out almost every day so I'll have to be happy with a pound or so a week. If I keep this up, I should be fitting back my size 6s in a few months. I really need to make sure I'm lifting weights more often so I can build some muscle and increase my ridiculously low metabolism.
In other news, this past weekend was a blast! On Saturday afternoon we went for a hike with my friend Janet and then we went to the last U of A hockey game of the season (have I mentioned my new hockey addiction?) They played they're big rival, ASU and it was a super exciting game (there were even a couple of good fist fights). By the end of the third period, the score was tied and they had a 5 minute overtime period and the score was still tied. After that was a shootout that went for 7 rounds before the Ice Cats scored the winning goal. The team was so excited that they dog piled each other on the ice. It was awesome!
On Sunday, me and Sean went to a basic pistol shooting class together. It was way fun! Apparently all those years of playing Duck Hunt on the Nintendo have paid off because I'm actually a pretty good shot. I got a bulls eye on my first try and the guy was like, "Are you sure you've never done this before?" and I go, "I've played a lot of Duck Hunt." Just about all of my shots were right around the middle of the target so I'm pretty proud of myself. With the class, we get to go to the range for free 7 times in the next two weeks so we're going to go shoot again on Wednesday afternoon and while we're at it, we're going to sign up for the concealed weapons class. It should be fun.
Next weekend our friends Dan and Tracey are coming out from San Diego and we're going to go on the Upper Cliff Dwelling tour at Tonto National Monument on Saturday and then on Sunday, we're going to Kartchner Caverns, which is a totally awesome wet cave about an hour south of us. I should have some really good pictures to post after that.
