Check out who I met last night…
Look what I did today…
Now the question is: Do I do a half-marathon, or a full? Right now I’m leaning towards the full, but have until the end of June before making a final decision. Both plans are identical until week 10, and then they split.
Got a new pair of Newtons tonight. After buying them I rushed home, put on my new shoes, and went out for a run. Decided to try something different, and followed the instructions. There is an instruction card in the box giving Newton’s 10 laws of running better. #5 says to adapt slowly. They recommend for the first two weeks to run a mile or so in the shoes a couple times a week. So, that is what I did… I felt like I could run more, but stopped at a mile. It is fun to get new running toys!
In other news… Slowly heading towards onderland.
I can’t help but to think posting these daily pics of my scale have kept me from falling off the wagon during this plateau. There have been times I didn’t feel like posting my weight because I was frustrated with the progress. But I did post it and kept going.
Last week I was feeling dejected by this plateau. It seemed like I was making zero progress, and was wondering if it was worth all the effort. I was beginning to think maybe 210 was the best I could accomplish. At that point I took the time to look back at a post in early January. This picture showed my weight at 220. Then I looked back at a picture I took back in late October, and my weight was 240.
These two pictures put things into perspective. I have come a long way in the past six months, and have really come a long way since last July. I had become so wrapped up in my plateau… I couldn’t see the forest for the trees.
I now appreciate how far I have come and how close I am to reaching my goal.
Have you ever done this?
Had and epic running fail today. At 2 miles I had to quit because my right calf was killing me. Couldn’t figure out why, but it became apparent as soon as I got home. I went to take off my shoes and saw this…
If you look closely you will see I ran with two different shoes. Maybe this is why my calf hurt so bad.
AWESOME!
I’m stuck over here… Just have to not get discouraged & throw in the towel. it can be so easy to fall back on bad eating habits.
My name is Keith… Back in July I was in the hospital for appendicitis, and was weighed at 277.8(might as well say 278). There I was standing in a hospital gown, unable to hide behind any excuses. The cold hard truth was staring me in the face - I'm obese.
