Weekly Weigh-in

It's Sunday morning and once again time for my weekly Weight-loss post.

This week I started doing something that, to my recollection, I have never done before. I started running. Many of my friends will tell you that I have been known to say that I won't run unless I'm being chased by something, and while that may have been true in the past, it's not going to be true any longer.

I didn't get to run as much as I'd have liked this week, the temperature makes it annoying to be outside, let alone doing any form of major activity, during most of the day here; and much of my mornings was spent either dealing with work related things or getting ready for impending work. That said, I did get in a couple good workouts early this week, and hope that I can get some better frequency in this next week. My feet really hurt the times I did get out, so I'm probably gonna have to be careful until I get used to the impact and other stresses going on. However, I'm hopeful that this will help me out in the long run to stay in better shape, and be generally more energetic by virtue of actually getting up and doing strenuous things that aren't just work.

So, now comes the numbers. This week I feel like I probably could have eaten better, but don't think I really did all that badly either. Time to see if the new workout helped any: 254.8, down 2.8 since last week. Hit my first checkpoint, down 10% of my starting weight. Took me since around January or so to do it, but I made it. It's been a bit of a long road, but entirely worth it. Here's hoping it's shorter to the next 10%.
