Long story short I used to be 250lbs and heading for a collision course with who knows what...death? I knew it was time for a change. On January 1st of 2011 I decided I was going to start running to drop some pounds. I have never really ran a lot before so I had no idea how this was going to turn out. As of October 10, 2011 I have taken part in 3 - 5k, 3 - Half Marathons, 2 - 10k, and a 8 miler. I would say I have done really well this summer.
At this point I am at 226.5 which is disappointing because I was down to 218. So this is where the blog will come into play....can I use this to stay motivated and drop more weight and get into great shape? Who knows but I am going to try my best.
Here is a picture of me at my friends wedding.....I have to admit this really, really bothered me.....
Funny story: I would always talk about how fat I am and my wife to her credit would say you are not fat. So after I lost 30lbs I was trying shirts on and as always talking about how fat I am and what does my wife tell me? "Chris you are not fat anymore so start wear clothes that fit you properly." Love her.....
Workout/eating habits from here on out:
I plan on running a lot until December 31st, after that I am going to do more of a weight training/running combo to try and add some muscle to this ugly frame of mine.
I plan on making lunches for myself everyday at work so I can keep an eye on my calorie intake and my pocketbook. This is normally the hardest this to do because I cannot stand sitting in the lunch room and having to listen to pointless complaints about everyone else.....just be happy people!
Goals for the remaining 2 1/2 months of the year:
- Run at least 20 miles a week
- Eat healthy, no excuses
- Drop another 10-15 lobs
- Get to 210 lbs.
I get to start out with a fun night of Volleyball...not a great workout but better than nothing!
