Good run today. It was a bit humid, so I had to walk for a little while, but I ran farther AND faster than last Saturday. I am planning on a rest day tomorrow, then running every day next week. My domination is almost complete!

Hit the elliptical at lunch today, I love the upper body workout setting and I did it a level higher than usual. My legs are feeling really good and strong. I am going to run 5 miles or so tomorrow AM. I am going to ATTEMPT to be up early to beat the heat. I really hate running in 90 degree weather.

Another very good run today. I started out @ 5.4MPH and moved all the way up to 7MPH (okay for only about a minute). I am feeling stronger everyday and I think I have established a habit! 13 pounds down, 40 to go.

I got trapped in a meeting today that caused me not to be able to run at lunch. I may update this post tonight if I get an opportunity to ride the stationary bike, however, I did want to post to note that the scale showed a two pound loss today! That makes 13 total pounds, complete domination over the non-posting Mike. I hope this is related to the additional 500 calories I added to my diet on Monday, but it seems much to soon to see any benefit from that.
UPDATE: I got the ride in late last night.

Yesterday (rest day) I did some research which indicated that I am eating far too little. I am averaging about 1900 calories and about 700 calories of exercise (net of 1200). I have bumped up my caloric intake by 500 calories, which should give me an average of 1700-1800 net calories. Hopefully that will help me lose weight and keep my energy levels up. At this moment I am letting my body reset to the new intake.
I did get a very good run in, actually managing another record with a full 3 miles in my run. My speed is nearly where it was in April, and with luck and dedication, I will be running sub-10 minute miles by September. I am still dominating Mike on exercise and weight loss, so that trend continues.

Took a long bike ride while trying to find something to watch on TV. Still no weight loss, still frustrated. Tomorrow is a rest day for my legs, I did not do so well on the food yesterday, but based on my calculations, I should have lost another 2 pounds by now.

Hot day to run, manage 4.73, though I had to walk once for about a half a mile. I got the run in though and I felt pretty good after.

Good work on the Elliptical today and I treated myself to a Subway BLT for lunch. Minor cheat action tonight, as Molly and I are going out to eat, but I am going to try to be good. Still holding @ 11 pounds and still a little frustrated by it, but I am clinging to the hope that the weight will start peeling off in a week or two.

Really good run today, I was a little sore, so I ran more of a recovery run. I set the treadmill at .5 elevation and 5.0MPH and ran 27 minutes with little effort (Slow, I know, but 6 months ago, I could not run 5.0MPH for 10 minutes!). I then sprinted out the last 3 minutes, ending at 7.5MPH. I felt good and my heart rate held well. Tomorrow I plan on the elliptical, then 4.5 miles on Saturday. Still holding fast at 11 pounds of weight loss, still frustrated, and still hopeful that the weight will come off eventually.

Good run today, I see another record pace, this time nearly hitting 3 miles. My legs felt good and I really felt a lot better running faster BEFORE lunch today. I am a little disappointed in my weight loss, I have not lost a pound since last week. It is frustrating, but last time I was hard in training, I hit a plateau after I had lost 10 pounds, so I am hoping after a few weeks, I will begin to drop weight quickly, as it happened last time.
