Still Truckin'

It's Sunday morning, and Jacob was kind enough to get me up before 5:00am, I'm sure he had a good reason...

Anyways, the plan is still progressing. I did my longest run last night (longest in this episode of fitness that is), at about 5 1/4 kilometers. I tried this route the night before, but when I forgot and wore two shirts, with the humidity the way it was, it didn't go well. Last night though, proper attire plus nicer weather led to a good, if slower paced, run.

I at 3 hot dogs and two rice crispy squares at a BBQ yesterday, which did lend some motivation to run further. At the start of last week I was proud to have weighed in at 239lbs, a full 21 lb loss, and it put me in "the thirties" which was nice. Later that week I was at 237lb!...but that lasted a day and I was back up to 241lbs. With all the changes in weather and such, I look but don't put too much stock in the weight fluctuations. I've committed to using Monday mornings as my official weigh in days, and so I can have some consistency. As long as I keep going in the right direction on those days, I'm in business.

I did revise my short term goal, and by the time I go on holiday, for the last week in August, I want to hit 230lbs. That should be a doable goal so long as I don't face injury, or my body decides to hang on to a certain weight (which I know it will do at some point, and I'll have to stay with it). It would be nice to be able to go on holidays and feel OK about relaxing the diet a bit, you don't necessarily want to count calories at a fishing lodge!

Anyways, the weight training continues 3 x week as well, so hopefully I'm losing fat and gaining some muscle as well. No official exercise plans today, perhaps a walk with the kids is all.

Enjoy your day.
