Monday Weigh-In for 3/29/2010
Long time, no post. Been too busy, too stressed out, or both to post lately. I have been hitting the gym, though. I’m down to a lower weight than I have been in several years, 202.8 officially this morning. Checked it twice, moved the scale and everything. The 36″ waist pants I bought a few months ago are getting loose now. Heck, the jeans I bought 3 weeks ago are looser than they were. The improvements keep coming. I’m looking forward to being below 200 – I do not remember for sure when I was last under the double century mark.
I have changed my workout again, where I’m doing intervals for a while, and starting to run. I was thinking I should lose more weight to take the load off of my knees, but then I thought I should give it a try to see how it went. Not bad…not that I can run that much, but it wasn’t really hurting my knees at all. So now, I’m trying to build up my endurance. Our church announced a 5K road race in June, so I’m training for that. It’s good to have a goal. I figure if I can do 6.5mph for 30 minutes by the time the road race starts, I’ll be doing well. I’ve never even considered running before – always hated it. So, to be considering even a baby 5K race is a big step for me.
Great news for you ! My husband lost 43 lbs. last year and feels so much better. At 65 he was pre-diabetic with high blood sugar. Now he looks and feels great – very healthy. There were times when he hit plateaus, so if it happens to you, don’t get discouraged.

Goals are the most important thing in life. Don’t beat yourself up about a time, just make a goal of finishing. It’s amazing what your body can adjust to! Good Luck!
