Running while hot sucks
100 Miles in May
I’m fat again. Well, not as fat as I was at the beginning of all of this, but around 235 - I really want to get down to 200lbs. I have made the mistake over the last too much outside of work hours. I have trimmed down my obligations in hopes of trimming down my belly.
So here is the challenge - in May I want to run 100 miles. So there are 31 days in May, I don’t run on Sundays - so that leaves me 27 days. 100/27 is only 3.7 miles per day - easy right? So, if you are looking for a little extra motivation then join me for 100 in May.
I started today and ran 4.8 miles - (walked a bit, not gonna lie) so I only have 95.2 miles to go!!
Re-committing. This morning I weighed in at 230. Time to recommit and push to get down to the elusive 200 lbs.
Back on the body plan in Austin, TX ! Early morning run with fellow YouTubers
Running my croissants off, early morning Parisian run with Tarah the wunder-runner.
I’m traveling! major food challenge for me to eat well! Little airport snack this morning before I catch my flight.
I finally made it to the doctor this morning and am currently waiting to get some blood work done to test all my levels (cholesterol, testosterone, and the rest). Physical went well, the part where I had to drop my drawers was a little airy, but everything checks out great apparently. My resting heart rate was 56 - I don’t remember my blood pressure but it was “good” said the doc. She also confirmed the best way to jump start your metabolism is through muscle growth (weights). She was not a fan of using any chemicals or hormones to help increase my metabolism. I weighed in at 234 which really made me question the accuracy of my scale at home and made me bummed out a little, going to have to rub extra hard today…
End of Week 6 - down to 229 lbs.
I had a super rough night last night - broke down and charged 3 cookies. I am also nursing a shoulder injury which makes my early morning p90x almost impossible - regardless I still got up at 6am, hobbled through my workout, then ab ripper. I am leaving on Friday and will be out of town for two solid weeks (3 weekends) and I am super stressed about gaining weight due to travel and getting desperate on food. I think my plan is going to be run at least once a day 3-5 miles. I may double down this week and run at night as well since my shoulder is jacked.
Just make a decision on what your gonna do today and do it.
End of Week 5 - 233lbs. weigh in this morning.
Last week I had was in Squaw from Sunday to Wed. so diet was a challenge as well as exercise. Sure I skied my face off (literally fell on my face and smashed it) - but I didn’t really feel like I got the same kind of running/lifting in that I have been doing. I let last Thursday and Friday get away from me because I hurt my should super bad while skiing and used that as an excuse not to get out the door. The reality is, I find talking myself out of eating well or out of going for a run super easy and compelling, So I just recommit each day. Every night when I am getting ready to go to sleep I verbally say out loud what time I am waking up, I lay my workout clothes out and then when the alarm hits at 6am I can just auto pilot - get up, get dressed and cobble out the door, as soon I am outside I am all set - but man, I feel like a million invisible strings are tugging at me to stay in my cozy bed, next to my cozy wife. Oh well.
