It’s been a crazy busy few weeks.
Yea, that could be my excuse for not running or eating real well. However, it would be wrong. The truth is that I’ve just been lazy. I have a tendency to get excited about things like this and then having poor follow through. If it’s a song I’m writing or a dish I want to learn to cook, I’m all over it until I figure it out.
My problem is I don’t like to push myself. If something doesn’t come easy to me, I don’t like to work for it. Now that I’ve recognized the issue, I need to do something about it. I just need to keep myself aware of my tendencies, and then fight them. Just like when I’m running, I remind myself that I can go further than I think and I push myself. It’s helping and I’m changing. It’s a beautiful thing.
Ok, so lets get to some results. The last time I weighed myself (before tonight) was almost a month ago. In that time, I’ve been to NYC, Myrtle Beach for a Bachelor Party, & eaten more delicious food than is smart for a guy trying to lose weight. Enough blabbering, here it is:
I was: 235 lbs
I am: 229 lbs
What?!? I lost weight? That makes no sense, but I don’t think that it a coincidence that it happened after I started working myself by running again. Running seems to work really well for me, even though I hate it. Speaking of running, I went running this afternoon, trying to be the rain (or what turned out to be monsoon out of nowhere). I got in 5.75 mi, and around 4.5ish the bottom fell out of the sky. I just started laughing and smiled the rest of the way home. It was such an awesome time. Funny note: I was listening to Paramore – When It Rains when it started to pour. That’s just funny.
So my plan is to keep running hard, cut out most/all sugary drinks, & to be mindful of what I’m eating. I’ve got Tom & Martha’s wedding coming up this week, so that’s gonna be awesome. I’ll probably eat awesome food that’s not awesome for you. I’m telling you ahead of time that I’m not gonna feel bad about it. Cheers.
Here’s to bein back on the horse.
