Hope you all had a great 4th of July weekend. In Chile I had some people over for a party to celebrate, which was a ton of fun.
Last week I was pretty good in the gym, I worked out 4 days, ran about 23 kilometers and did an extra 40 minutes of cardio on the elyptical. On Friday alone I ran 8 km and lifted for 20 minutes! This is all great, but my legs start to hurt and I get shin splints, so I have been trying to vary the cardio so its not so hard on my body.
This weekend I went shopping for some more clothes for the gym, and I was looking for a sports bra. I looked in the entire Parque Arauco mall (Huge Big Mall in Santiago), and I could not find a single sports bra! Not in the Nike Store, in Puma, or in any of the department stores. Do women in Chile use sports bras? Or do they just not work out? I am going to have to approach some lady in the gym and ask her where she got her sports bra from, becuase I am baffled!

Control!
In Buddhism they frequently discuss "the middle way", not overindulging or limiting yourself with anything. This is easily applicable to food of course, where I believe that I shouldnt starve myself but I shouldnt stuff myself either. Easy, right?
Wrong, when you put me in front of a carton of ice cream or a big bar of chocolate. Or even worse when the pololo (boyfriend) makes pasta dinner which is just soo yummy. This lack of self control also comes in to effect at Chipotle, when I am back in the US. Why are there just so many temptations out there?

Too quick?
How quick is too quick to lose weight?
I have lost 1 kilo in the past two weeks. Which I thought was pretty good and normal, but last night my boyfriend asked me if that was too quick. Almost cautioning me. But I have been eating a normal diet (although I have been eating smaller meals, more frequently) the only thing that has really changed is that I am working out at the gym 3-4 days a week burning any where from 500-600 calories on cardio machines and doing about 20 minutes of lifting (all of this as advised by a trainer at my gym). So personally I am happy to see my hard work paying off with losing some weight My pants are fitting differently, and I feel better. I have more energy. But, what is the normal amount of weight to lose in a week?
