The Great Chub-off!

The administrator of this website has engaged in unsportsmanlike conduct changing the site, yes it is TED.
I walked today and yesterday around the arena past DQ to the pier then back again.

I have been doing very well on my diet, I am now comfortably down 1 belt loop. My back is still bothering me (probably stress related)

I will annihilate Ted in this contest.

PS – Are there any other fat slobs out there that want a piece of this?

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.

I just walked today, it was very hot, I would have ran but I had a noon meeting and planned to run at 5:00 but that never works
Not even a lunch today

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 run today, it was quite humid

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.

Entering early I am going to take a Ted tomorrow as I’m in the cities.

Weighed in at 239.8 today, I am in Mpls now. Because I had a long drive Rhonda came down and we did a 3 mile walk. My back is sore now though

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.

Did not get up this morning to run and I had a noon meeting, I decided to run after lunch. I now know why runners generally do not eat lunch and then go run. I ran the entire 30 minutes @ 52.MPH, but it was a struggle all the way. The only good news is it is done and I can run BEFORE lunch tomorrow.
