Miles:111 total. Roughly 45 running and 66 on the elliptical, my new friend.
Food benders: 3, I'm gonna be honest here and say I love to binge (if only I purged)
Well folks it's been a while ,but I promise I'm gonna change the frequency of these posts. Over the last month some things have happened. My orthopedist told me I can in fact continue running, only on treadmill, packed gravel or other soft surface with out hills, except on race day then it's o.k. for a little pavement pounding .With that knowledge I decided to set some goals. Goal one lose some weight. I love running and I know running that last 5k at damn near 300 lbs helped lead to this injury problem. Just because you can run a 5k at 300lbs doesn't mean you should.So my sub goals are as follows:275 lbs,250 lbs, 225lbs. At 225 lbs I will start training for my first half marathon. After my half marathon hopefully I will be at or near my goal weight of 210lbs. I believe at 210 I won't look emaciated. In fact I might actually want to take my shirt off at the pool (might, but probably not if I don't deal with some other body image issues).
If my weight loss journal program is correct I should be at 225lbs on Mar 2, 2012 which just happens to be my 10 year wedding anniversary. I'm not holding my breath that this will be the day though. I know myself and I know between now and then there are some big holidays, some small holidays and my own version of male PMS, which requires me to eat chocolate once a month in copious amounts and yell at my wife for apparently no freaking reason. Over the course of the next six months I expect some big changes.For those of you who know me personally please cut me some slack if i'm a little edgy. I've dropped down from 4000 calories a day (seriously that's what I was ingesting) to between 1500 and 1800 a day. I've embraced the elliptical for the first time and I actually am starting to enjoy lifting weights. I started up doing push ups and sit ups ,but I realized lifting weights makes more sense, since i'm paying for a gym I might as well use more than just two pieces of equipment. Well that's it for now.
Oh sh*t I just realized I wasn't really all that funny in this post. Hmm, what to say what to say? Do you know what a fat runners best friend is? GLIDE. This handy dandy miracle product keeps man boobs supple and fat thighs from chafing like some dirty bunny ranch prostitute. Oh yeah you gotta try this stuff out it it's super fantastic.
