I wanted to come here today and talk about my date with Superman.

I wanted to come here today and talk about how tomorrow is going to possibly be my official graduation from c25k.

I wanted to come here today and talk about resting heart rate (mine is 60) and blood pressures (112/70). I wanted to talk about how there numbers are astounding me since I’m obese and an ex-smoker.

I wanted to talk about a lot of things today.

But something important needs to be said today and it n...

Two 30 minute runs: A comparison.

Tuesday, March 30th 2010

As most of you know I am finishing up my c25k program this week. I have one more session…

One more.

Then I’m on my own to figure out where I want to take this whole running thing. I’m a little nervous that once the program is over I’ll lose my drive to continue. There are other running programs out there 5k-8k and 5k-10k that I’ll probably download to my trusty little shuffle and give it a go. With that being said I have run the 30 minute portion twice. Once outside. Once on the ...

Some weeks the journey isn't only about weight loss...

Friday, March 26th 2010

Tomorrow is weigh in #13 and one of three things will happen. Either I will 1) lose a small amount of weight - by small I mean under a pound 2) Stay exactly where I was from my last weigh in - 234.8 3) Have a small gain - hopefully under a pound.

I'm not expecting anything big tomorrow.

I'm not going to freak out if the number is a gain. I'm not going to freak out if the number stays the same. I'm not going to freak out if there isn't a "big enough" loss.

I've taken a lo...

The battle, the lady, and the jeans

The Battle

North = my mind

South = my body

Neither of these armies are the enemy, and yet both sometimes play the “bad guy” in this battle over a lifestyle change. Today the bad guy was my mind. The battle went something like this:

It’s quiet outside, the clock ticks over to 6am. Beeeeep, Beeeeeep goes the alarm. Snooze once. Snooze twice. I feel the war going on.

North: “Stay in bed today. You don’t need to run today. Yes, I know it’s the last day of week 8...
