I know it's my first weigh-in in a few weeks. It's not good.
258
That means I'm nearly back to where I started. The -60 by 60 goal is still intact and I think I've finally got my head into it, so I should be seeing some positive results in the coming weeks. I'm back to walking and working on adding a little running to my walks. I'm also trying to get back in the habit of logging foods.
Yesterday was day 3 of walking. I thought I was going to give myself an easy day since I had just finished mowing the lawn and already had a good share of my steps in for the day. Instead, I felt pretty good and added a little bit of light running into the walk.
To be fair, by light running I mean really light running. My light run now isn't much faster than my brisk walk of 5 years ago. In any case, I was down to 53 minutes at the 3 mile mark.
Today will be an easy day. I'll get my distance in, but not worry about the time. Tomorrow will be a day off since I've got a few things scheduled in the morning. It is supposed to rain on and off all day today. I walked about a quarter mile in the rain yesterday. I don't think it will be a problem.
Other than just being too damn fat, I don't feel bad. I've never had a problem with cholesterol, high blood pressure, or other typical overweight maladies. I definitely feel the extra weight in my knees and ankles, and I'm either going to have to lose the weight or start buying fat clothes for the winter months.
I'm looking forward to a better update for Week 9.
Be well,
John
