My starting weight was 205. Which means I have gained 35lbs back! HOLY CRAP. I guess I'm glad that I have started to get it under control before I gained it all back. I got on the scale yesterday and cried. I worked so hard to achieve 170 lbs on the shakes three years ago. I seriously kept it off for a good two years. Then last year from Jan - May I lost another 15 lbs training for tough mudder. I was down to 155 lbs. HOW, HOW, HOW did I let myself go? WHY, WHY, WHY? I'm heartbroken but not defeated.
Today I got on the scale and I'm 201.2. First full day of shakes. The typical big weight loss after day 1 on the program. I ran 3.75 miles yesterday in 44 minutes. Not fast, in fact that is a slow 12 minute mile. But, I did it. My Runtastic Ap says that is 606 calories. Today...it is raining. Hard. I can go running in the rain or I can make an excuse. I don't have room for anymore excuses. I only have room for results. Let's make this happen.
I have a 10K on August 3rd. I have my brother's wedding on August 10th. Here are a few of my goals.
#1 - To finish the 5K in under 1 hr.
#2 - To weigh 190 lbs by August 10th.
Ambitious yes, but we must have goals. Small little goals each week so that we have something more to focus on than the over-whelming big picture. That is why weight watchers and most weight loss programs focus on the 10% of your body weight goal. Extreme weight loss makeover show on TV does 10% in 30 days! My goal would be to lose 20.5 lbs in 30 days. So on August 20th, I should weigh 185 lbs. I am secretly hoping for 180. I've got this. The 30 days is coming no matter what I do. I can look better when that 30 days comes or I can look the same. I am choosing to look different.
See you tomorrow. I have a very wet 3.75 miles to slowly run.
