228.6

I'm just ending my period. I've cut back on the walking from 5k to 1 mile - one intense mile, upping the intervals speed to 3.5 and the level up to 4, per advice from you all. And I went for a short swim yesterday. Just 20 minutes, and then a hot sauna for about 20 minutes.

It's been let's see...a month since I had any fast food, although I will occasionally go to a restaurant. I actually slipped up yesterday and not thinking, I ate white bread. I got a turkey sandwich and salad at a local organic marketplace, and I just didn't think to ask for whole grain bread. It came on one of those flat bread things that look like a pita. And it knocked me out for about an hour. Now, granted, I've been sleep deprived all week, too, but there's something about white flour and white rice that makes my body shut down, especially if I'm already tired. I would have thought the protein from the turkey and the salad would have balanced out the white bread, though.

So, headed in the right direction. 90 pounds to go.
