My Weight Loss

Late post today, but I am what you call furlough.  Our company is not doing so well and to implement costs savings they have initiated mandatory unpaid furloughs, where you take a day off and are unpaid.  We got 10 of these to do and today is my 7th.

This is Friday and in a few hours I will be headed to Canada to pick her up.  Recall that my aunt is returning and I wanted to be under 270.

I did not think I could do it.  I’ve had a horrible 2 days of workout.   This morning I did run a 2+2.

But when I got in and weighed in I was delightfully surprised.

Weight: 269.2

I got too much to do and I need to be in to work early.

Hey Life happens… anyway, got gym and evening walk still.

I am going to make it worthwhile.

Weight:  272.2 (This did not post right and I am doing this from memory)

OK I really put my body through a workout yesterday.  I did a 3+1, 1 mile run on the treadmill and 2 miles walking on the treadmill.

Also I did weights.

Now it is screaming for rest.  I did a 1/2 mile run and a 1/2 mile walk this morning.  I am planning to walk at least another mile, maybe 3.

I am actually not too worried about my weight.  I have a feeling it is simply bloat.  My prediction is that it will work through my system in 48 hours.

Weight: 273.0

September is closing in and fall will soon be here and also another milestone.  Two mile straight running.  In the past I have usually run 1 mile and walked 1 with occaisonally running 2 miles.  Then there’s th 1+3, which I really run a 2+2.  September may be the month I begin runnning 2 miles regularly where the 1+1 is an exception (extra tired, late or bathroom).

It is my hope that I am running that 1+3 route completely, by end of year, then I can call it simply a 4 mile.

Today I did encounter a problem, my foot hurts.  If this is gout, it will seriously impact my training schedule.

As for yesteday, I did get my 1+3 in (actually 2+2).

Weight: 270.2

This has been a busy day.  We have been without hot water for a day now.  The original Water Heater we purchased had a significant dent and returning it really put a dent in my schedule.

Anyway I will work out tonight.  If not, I have to write it up as one of those life happens moments.  So far

Weight 271.8

Alright got a busy weekend.  But did start the day late.  I have documents to do, some DNS strategy planning and migrating to a new web server.

Yesterday I did get a really good workout, I’m pretty sure I sweat out all the alcohol.

But I did get in a run, a simple 1+3 where I really did only run 1 mile.  Although it is less than yesterday, I am confident tomorrow or Monday it will stay under 270.

Weight: 270.8

Yesterday I had a few drinks during happy hour with my coworkers.  Today, I see the damage not in my constitution but in my weight.

Last time I drank I gained weight too.  A glass of wine did not do it though.

But the weight could be attributed to the light drizzle that was landing on my shirt while I ran.

I do have gym and another 2 miles to go today though.  So I will sweat it out over the next 24 to 48 hours.

Weight: 271.8

You know I can’t believe this, in a way I am shocked.  Right now I don’t know what to say.   Today marks the last day of the 2nd month I started training, and I cracked the 270 mark.  Barely, but it is official.
