W5D1

It was fabulously cool this morning. The middle school marquee said 73°. No problems with the 30 minute run.

169.0 on the scale (down from the previous weigh in). I had a mixed week, so I'm just hoping to be down a few tenths for my official weigh in tomorrow.

W4D3

35 minute run this morning. There was just a little color to the east when I left the house. It's nice that it's so much cooler in the morning, but I wonder whether i'll still be able to do this when it's still pitch black before work.

W4D2

Easy 29 minute run this morning. The PE students were out running. I passed a guy who I think is their instructor twice. The first time got a "Good morning". The second time got a "You think you're tired? That dog has got to be tired!"

I was a little stung there. I replied with a "Oh, she's fine. We do this three times a week." As Lucy pulled me away from the encounter, I kept mulling over better responses. Arrgh.

Anyway, down to 168.4 this morning. Yay!

I just signed up for my next 5k. It's on October 3, a little more than a month away.

Week 21 Weigh in

I haven't done an official Tuesday weigh in post for 3 weeks. I did weigh last Tuesday (the morning after getting back from my vacation) at 171.0 lbs.

My weight this morning was 169.4. That's a 1.6 lb loss, 21.8 lbs overall loss. Respectable. Now lets get back to 167, eh?

Little things

I've been having a problem with little things lately.

Little things constitute reaching into the fridge or the cupboards for a snacky portion of something low point, but over my points allowance. I was doing it all the week before my trip, and all the week after my trip.

I'm stopping that now. No more afterwork mozzarella cheese sticks, pirates booty, baked veggie crisps, etc. If it's 5:30 and I feel like snacking, it's time to make dinner.

W4D1 Redo

Screw it. That was easy. I'm calling it week 4.

The only hitch is that it was the first day of school, so there were buses and cars swarming all over my route. I may need to work on getting going earlier so I can miss the 7AM dropoff at the high school. (Or at least be on the starting end rather than the bulk of it.

I'm finally back down into the 160s this morning: 169.2

I'm back from my motorcycle trip

and back on it.

I weighed in at 171.0 on Tuesday morning.

My challenge for the next couple of weeks is getting back down to 168 and getting back into my running.

I'm journaling my food and drinking all my water. I'll be going grocery shopping tonight to restock.

For the running, I will do 1.5 weeks of 30 minute runs and then start back up at W4D1 of OHR. I'll run Thursday morning and Saturday morning this week and then do my normal MWF next week.

I ran!

I woke up at 6am this morning in Monroe, LA and went for a 30 minute jog (40 min total) on the frontage road by my motel.

Hiatus

I didn't like the number the scale spit out this morning. Not at all. I also didn't like that I only managed a 20 minute run last night (hacking and snotting the whole way). Yeah, it was hot. Yeah, I'm feeling a little off this week.

And yeah, I'm leaving for a 9 day motorcycle ride on Friday. I don't see any significant weight loss happening in the next two weeks. I'll be happy/lucky to maintain.

Therefore, I'm putting recording my daily weight on hiatus until I get back. This isn't an excuse to overeat and not exercise... It's a CHALLENGE!
