Training for a marathon is not easy. Neither is dropping pounds. So I'm gonna blog about it. And I'll probably complain about a bunch of stuff too.

Colon Cancer 15K - 1:49:15

The Official, For Reals Return of WIW

This is shameful to admit:

  • Today’s weight: 260.5
  • Last WIW (which was on 11/30/11, btw): 250
  • That’s a lovely gain of: 10.5 pounds.
  • Total loss since beginning this journey: 11.5 pounds

EVEN MORE SHAMEFUL?  I previously weighed 266. 

Since Monday, Eric and I have been attempting this super-strict low-cal, low-carb diet that sometimes I fall back on when I feel like eating has gotten out of control. And as of last Friday, eating was officially OUT OF CONTROL.  It’s a take on this Physicians Weight Loss diet I did years ago and was pretty successful at.  So far I’ve lost 5.5 pounds since Monday (when the 266 reared it’s ugly head).  I’m very much looking forward to blowing through the 250’s and back in the 240’s. 

My ultimate goal?  To be under 240 by the marathon (May 13).  Doable.  Very doable.  Just need to keep my focus.

Also need to get back to running!  I’ve already lost steam (which is bad).  Part of it is that I don’t get home from work ‘til pretty late sometimes and all motivation to move is lost.  I always say this, but it’s true: morning workouts really need to happen.
