The Great Chub-off!

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.

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.

No workouts today. I need a rest day today, so I am taking one. No walk tonight, since everyone will be gone, but I will be running tomorrow morning. No weight loss this morning on my weigh in, but we will see how the week progresses.

Ran this morning, the weather was AWESOME. I ran 4.19 miles and I could have run a lot farther. My pace sucked (12’s) but I got the run in. I plan on running outdoors only on the weekends until school is back in, then start running in the mornings (Molly and Alex have to be up anyway). I continue to walk in the evenings with the family, both Friday and Saturday evening, and I plan on walking again tonight. I hope to hit my goal weight by 1/1/10.

Took a running break to use the stationary bike in preperation for a 4 mile run tomorrow. I did pretty good on the food yesterday and I hope to have lost another pound when I weigh in on Monday.

Took a running break to use the elliptical today for a good workout. Running tomorrow morning. I fell of the wagon hard last night, eating beer and chicken wings, I hope to repent for the “sin” tomorrow.

I was on a business trip to San Francisco earlier in the week, and normally that means a pound or two added back on or, Chub-on! However, I managed to keep my eating well within check, and I even got a 30 minute run in at the hotel on Tuesday. This morning, the scale affirmed that I did the right thing, by showing me another pound of weight loss, for 11 total for the month! Domination of Mike continues.

No exercise today, but the scale did show a pound loss. I am a bit sore from yesterday, but I am going to run tomorrow morning for sure.

While Mike was on his tour de pie, I was working to insure I lose another pound as soon as I can. I hope to be in the double digits of loss by Wednesday. I had a good ride today, my legs felt strong and I am planning on running tomorrow AM. My domination continues and by Mike’s own rules, he is disqualified!
