Running, Running, Running

So I have not weighed myself in almost two weeks.  And currently I don't believe that I will weigh myself for quite a bit.  I am trying out a new theory...success is dependant on the goal that you are trying to acheive.  My ultimate goal is to lose weight...but that goal is off in the distances sometimes hard to quantify. So I am switching it up.

I will use my progress in running and see how that correlates with my weight loss.  When I started running a on March 9th I was weighing 295 my plan is to see how my weight goes over the next month as I continue to run.

My short term goal is to get back to 5K form, which is being able to run for 3.1 consecutive miles.  Currently I am  at running for 10 minutes and walking for 1 and then repeating for 30 minutes and I my running portions are at 5.5 miles per hour. So I am not near my goal by a long shot. 

I have set a goal for myself to run 100 miles by time my next birthday rolls around in 4 months.  Here We Go!

Saturday edition:

Late night Saturday edition... i got to the gym four times this week. And two of those days were me being a gerbil. ( ruining on a treadmill) the weight is being stubborn and not coming of quickly enough but that is why i am running... it is where i have had my most success.

Weekend Run #1:

I decided to take advantage of our 50 degree weather today and go for a run. I didn't break any land speed records but I did go 2.5 miles. Run number 1 is in the books and it will be one of many this spring and summer.

Week 8: Little Slowdown

Week 8 is in the books and everything is going good so far...I haven't lost any weight this week...but I don't think I have been as disciplined as I should have been for dinners and snacking...With my increase in workouts I am feeling hungrier more often and it can be hard to resist these urges.  I was able to get 4 good workouts in including 3 cardio days. So I am feeling good on that end.

Week 7: 5 Good Workouts

This week was a good week for me...another pound down and more importantly 5 good workouts in the books!  It can be hard to get up and into the gym in the morning but I know that it is the best thing for me! I am looking forward to when it finally gets alittle bit warmer out so I can get my running shoes on!  So if you are keeping score at home...Weight 294.5 and down a total of 9 pounds since my rededication to this journey.
